Water
– in the right place – is our most important
commodity but water leaks, in the wrong place at the wrong
time can damage a business in a big way. What seems like
an insignificant problem can cost millions when it comes
to lost computer data, downed telecommunications switches,
damaged files, ruined works of art, or water-soaked rare
books. Personnel safety can be threatened by roof leaks
in buildings, or by fire from water-caused electrical
short circuits
Water
leak detection has become high up on the list of priorities
for many companies and Aquilar is a World leader in the
supply and installation of equipment
for the detection and of water,
chemical, oil
and refrigerant
gas leaks. The heart of the Aquilar system is the
TraceTek 1000 water leak detector cable. The
cable itself is the sensor. Every centimetre of rugged,
fire rated cable is sensitive to water and when water
comes into contact with the cable, even a few millilitres,
the system is able to detect the leak AND report the location.
The detection cable can be installed in any length from
a few metres in a drip tray to hundreds of metres around
the perimeter of an office area. Typical
applications in office buildings include the monitoring
of fan-coil units around the edge of the building office
floors, detectors surrounding the central utility core
on each floor of the building and dedicated monitoring
of leaks in electrical switch gear rooms, server rooms,
network communications, etc.
Each
section of sensor cable is monitored by an inexpensive
Sensor Interface Module. Various models are available
with and without relay contacts and digital displays,
but all modules are easily networked back to a central
alarm panel or interfaced directly to the LAN as easy
to design and install as a simple water leak detection
system for one or two rooms. for remote alarm and monitoring
via cell phones and web browsers or as a major installtion
in industrial complexes and high rise buildings.
Even when salvaging is possible, it is typically a time-consuming,
expensive undertaking. That’s why many insurance
companies are now insisting on leak
detection systems and why consulting engineers
are specifying them.
Our UK network of water leak detection equipment installers
is only the UK hub of our worldwide specialist leak detection
operation and we are able to supply, install and maintain
water leak detection systems almost anywhere in the world.

Think
of water detection like an insurance policy: you spend
a little money now to protect yourself for serious expense
in the future. Do you really want to arrive at the office
some Monday morning and find 2 cm of water on the floor
and no computers or telephones? These unfortunate situations
are still too common and TraceTek
from Tyco Thermal Controls is still the best preventive
measure you can take.
TraceTek
developed water sensing cable has passed the most rigorous
of examinations and has been at the cutting edge of distributed
sensing detection for decades, protecting tens
of thousands of locations around the globe with their
water leak detection technology.
TT1000
incorporates world-leading technology to ensure that even
the smallest leaks are detected and located before a catastrophe
ensues. Aquilar also supplies, installs and maintains
the oil and fuel leak detection system TT5000
- Acids, bases and hazardous liquid detection system TT3000
- Refrigerant gas detection system by the Aquitron AT-RLM
monitors and the organic solvent detection system TT5001.
