Why monitor water flow?
Optimize Hot Water
In buildings with recirculation loops, pumps often run continuously. Monitoring temperature and flow helps identify when circulation is happening unnecessarily, allowing you to reduce pump run-time and cut energy usage.
Reduce Energy
Heating water is one of the largest energy costs in homes and buildings. By monitoring when and how hot water is used, you can adjust heating schedules and reduce unnecessary heating during low-demand periods.
Remove Inefficiencies
Temperature drops, unexpected water usage, or constant flow can signal problems like poor insulation, faulty valves, or small leaks - all of which lead to increased energy use. Monitoring helps detect these early so you can fix them before they become costly.
Prevent over-circulation in hot water loops.
Water Grip tracks temperature changes in both hot and cold pipes. If water is circulating when it shouldn’t (e.g., during off-hours), the system can help identify inefficiencies and reduce unnecessary pump operation.
Building operators or homeowners can reduce energy use by adjusting circulation schedules based on real-time usage and temperature data.
By understanding how and when hot water is used, households or facilities can:
- Align heating with actual usage
- Reduce standby energy losses from heating unused water
- Identify areas of excessive water use that also drive up heating costs
A family sees high evening hot water use; they reschedule heating cycles to match usage more efficiently.
Water Grip accurately measures water temperatures between 0.1°C and 70°C , giving insight into:
- Whether your hot water system is over- or under-heating
- When temperature drops could signal insulation issues or leaks
- Performance benchmarking across zones or time periods
Adjust boiler settings or insulation to meet actual demand and prevent energy waste.
Why Energy Monitoring Matters
Lower Water and Energy Bills
Monitoring shows exactly how much water is being used and when. This helps identify unnecessary usage and supports smarter heating and circulation, reducing both water and energy costs.
Improve Efficiency of Hot Water Systems
Real-time temperature and flow data help optimize hot water circulation. You can ensure water is hot only when needed, avoid overuse of pumps, and reduce heat loss in pipes.
Stay Informed Anytime, Anywhere
With the Quandify app and portal, users can track usage, receive alerts, and manage settings remotely. This gives peace of mind - whether at home, work, or away on vacation.
For enterprise users, APIs are available
Reveal Hidden Usage Trends Over Time
Monitoring helps uncover long-term patterns - like seasonal changes in water consumption or weekend vs. weekday differences. These insights can inform smarter planning, not just for energy but also for sustainability efforts.

I always track my energy consumption through Tibber, and was looking for an easy way to track my water as well. I got a recommendation from a friend to checkout Quandify. I'm obsessed with saving water and teaching my kids how to stop wasting.
Quandify saved us €550 in the first year by detecting a hidden leak! I can strongly recommend it for anyone with a house.
I finally understand where my water goes. No more surprise bills! I'm 48 years old and installed the Water Grip in 5 minutes.
Hidden Energy Waste from Hot Water Leaks
Even small leaks in hot water pipes don’t just waste water — they waste energy too.
1 liter of hot water is lost:
- If it’s heated from 10°C to 55°C (typical tap temperature),
- That’s about 0.06 kWh of wasted energy.
- If there's a hot water leak of 30 liters/day, it's easy to see how much is being wasted.

Stop the Unnecessary
The device sends alerts if you have forgotten to shut the water off, may it be while watering your garden, opening a tap to wash dishes or a running toilet that needs fixing.
Real-time leak detection with instant alerts to your phone
Detects even the smallest leaks before they cause large damages. Get notified the moment a leak is detected.
Stay Informed
If you have multiple devices, the device clearly informs you about their individual consumptions, water temperature levels, and if there is an ongoing leak.
Traditional Monitoring is Expensive
Traditional water monitoring has long depended on invasive meters and manual processes.
Installing and managing these systems involves a series of costly and time-consuming steps, including:
- Hiring certified plumbers to cut into existing pipes and fit mechanical meters
- Shutting off water systems during installation, often disrupting tenants or operations
- Creating new connection points that increase the risk of leaks over time
- Manually reading meters on-site, sometimes across dozens or hundreds of locations
- Recording usage data in spreadsheets or paper logs for utility tracking and compliance
- Estimating consumption between readings, which makes it hard to understand actual water behavior
While these methods can technically meet minimum requirements, they offer limited insight, introduce physical risk, and rely heavily on staff time - making them expensive, inefficient, and poorly suited to modern sustainability reporting.
Smarter Monitoring with Water Grip
Water Grip modernizes monitoring by eliminating physical complexity - and adds energy insights, not just water.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- No tools, no plumbers — clamps directly on the pipe
- No pipe cutting or disruption — no downtime for tenants or operations
- Built-in temperature sensors — track energy use from hot water flow
- Wireless data via Wi-Fi — no need to send staff on-site
- Real-time tracking in the app — see hot/cold usage instantly
- Automatic logs & reports — ready for sustainability initiatives
Traditional systems only show how much water you used. Water Grip shows you how, where, and how efficiently it’s being used - including the water's temperature.

Why is This Important for Your Property?
Cut Energy Waste, Save Money
Every drop counts - literally.
Tracking usage reveals inefficiencies, reduces unnecessary consumption, and lowers utility bills.
No more guesswork - find out the temperature of the water and the amount being used, and then tuning the boilers according to true data.
Continuous flow monitoring can reveal appliances or fixtures that use more energy than expected due to leaks or outdated performance. Accurate water temperature readings (0.1°C – 70°C) help assess how your heating system performs and where energy losses may occur.
Data That Drives Decisions
You can’t manage what you can’t measure.
Monitoring gives you the insights you need to improve performance, report accurately, and meet sustainability targets.
Whether it be water consumption, or its temperature, both values are easily accessible.
Data from the Water Grip helps property owners decide when to invest in better insulation, more efficient water heaters, or smart plumbing fixtures.
Stay Compliant with Ease
Regulations are getting stricter.
Whether it’s BREEAM, ESG, or local standards - automated tracking makes compliance simple and auditable.
All data is available through the app or portal.
