Flow Monitor Site Assessment: 

What to Expect and How to Prepare

What to Expect

A site assessment allows HydroPoint to provide a customized WaterCompass monitoring solution for your building. One of HydroPoint’s trained Certified Service Providers will arrive on site to complete a thorough assessment of the building or campus. The surveyor will fill out a comprehensive report

documenting the locations and surrounding infrastructure of each water supply line identified for real- time monitoring and water management.

How to Prepare

To ensure a successful assessment, it’s important that the site contact escorting the surveyor on the day of the assessment is knowledgeable about the property and the location of all water meters.

Before your site assessment, ensure the site contact meeting the surveyor knows the location of the following:

    □ All main municipal water meters feeding the property, including water meters located both inside and outside of the building.

    □ All dedicated irrigation water meters feeding the property, including water meters located both inside and outside of the building.

    □  CoolingTower, including all Make-up water meters and Blowdown (Bleed) water meters.

    □ If the building has multiple CoolingTowers, it’s also important to know which Make-up and Blowdown meters are associated with each tower.

    □ If the Blowdown (Bleed) line does not have an existing water meter, then our team will survey the Blowdown line for a cut-in meter option to deliver monitoring services.

    □ All the exposed water supply lines identified for monitoring – the water supply line must be accessible to the surveyor. The surveyor will measure the outside diameter of the water supply line with a caliper and determine potential points of turbulence or outside interference the sensor point may experience.

    □ Which areas of the building or campus are supplied with water by the water supply line that has been identified for flow monitoring.

    □ If possible, have building plans available that show where the water supply lines enter the building and the areas of the building the water supply line feeds.

    □ A 120V electrical outlet close to the exposed section of the water supply line identified for monitoring – the sensor will require a single available socket on the 120V outlet.
