PEPCO Leak Detection System Overview
Our leak detection system helps facility managers avoid large scale damage from unintended water collection. Wherever water doesn’t belong, that’s where PEPCO Detection products live. The system combines moisture sensors with flow-based leak detection to automatically shut off valves preventing extensive damage.
Our BACnet-based solution integrates with popular building management systems, so disruption and retraining are minimized. Remote monitoring capability provides real time alerts 24/7/365.
