Whether you are looking for leaks, gas pockets, buildup, or you want to monitor wall condition, INGU’s free-floating Pipers® solution provides comprehensive, easy, and affordable insight into condition of water and wastewater pipelines, without disrupting service. With Pipers®, you can catch issues before they cause major failures or water loss.

How It Works
20-35% Water Loss Annually
The AWWA Water Loss Control Committee estimates that 5-10 billion kWh of power generated in the United States is expended on nonrevenue water annually.
"Pipers deliver piggable conversion savings on the order of $1 million per transmission pipeline. Economical, effective, easy-to-use, it is a complete all-in-one tool."
