Introducing Remote Pressure Monitoring

The ability to continuously and remotely monitor pressure at any point within potable water distribution systems is crucial to ensuring access to safe, cleaning drinking water. Mueller Co., North America’s largest and only full-line supplier of potable water distribution products, has developed user-friendly and cost-effective technology to make this possible. The technology involves threading a sensor onto a corporation valve to transmit pressure readings. The pressure sensor, typically installed one per district metering area (DMA), reports at user-defined intervals via cellular service and a Mueller-hosted secure web server. Alerts are sent when low and high pressure thresholds are breached including negative pressure events and water hammer events. Beginning with pressure monitoring, Mueller has created a communications backbone that utilities can integrate into their monitoring systems or use as a stand-alone monitoring platform.

Intelligent Water TechnologyTM (IWT) is Mueller’s full-line of innovative solutions, products and services that actively diagnose, monitor and control the delivery of safe, clean drinking water to consumers and businesses. IWT delivers information that enables water systems to make smart decisions concerning their existing water infrastructure and plan for the future. Data-driven decisions, help water systems reduce non-revenue water and optimize infrastructure investments from main to meter.

Mueller’s IWT smart water solutions include:

Remote Pressure Monitoring System

Pressure management in pipe networks is fundamental to providing safe drinking water. Mueller Co. has developed a simple and cost-effective technology to continuously monitor pressure in potable water distribution systems. The pressure sensor, typically installed one per DMA, reports at user-defined intervals via cellular service and a Mueller-hosted secure web server.

Automated Flushing Systems

Automated flushing systems and water quality sample stations. The Hydro-Guard® system monitors water quality in distribution piping and automatically initiate flushing as necessary to maintain disinfectant residuals as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This system conserves water, reduces chlorine consumption, and improves customer satisfaction by helping avoid taste and odor, while requiring minimal supervision by utility personnel.

Metering

Advanced metering infrastructure systems from Mueller Systems®. It’s our ability to provide utilities with the infrastructure technology needed to optimize operations and ensure the sustainability of our water resources. By building on our expertise in water management, we help utilities better manage their operations and energy resources.

Leak Detection and Condition Assessments

Leak detection and pipe condition assessment solutions from Echologics®.  Our non-invasive, acoustic-based technologies for water loss management, leak detection and pipe condition assessment.  By measuring how quickly acoustic signals are transmitted along a section of pipe helps water utilities decide where and when to repair and/or replace their aging water infrastructure.

Mueller Water Products is not only devoted to provide the highest quality, lowest cost of ownership flow control products in the industry but is committed to advancing water infrastructure monitoring.
