Instant detection of water leaks

Thanks to measuring water consumption every minute and instant alerts, you are immediately aware of any emerging issues in all your buildings and apartments. This allows you to fix urgent failures, long-term leaks as well as cheating attempts.

Complies with the latest privacy and energy savings bills

WaterAdmin app meets all the criteria of the new EU Directive 2012/27/EU. It is assumed that from October 2020 it will be obligatory to send water bills to tenants at least 4 times per year, from January 2022 at least once a month.

Detailed minute-by-minute analysis

Only one minute intervals allow you to truly analyze your water consumption and find all the discrepancies. Achieving such high water savings is not possible with hourly or even daily measurements.

Smart water valve

A smart water valve can be connected to BONEGA water meter. It automatically closes when a water leak or other emergency is detected (even without internet connection).

App for tenants

The administrators can invite tenants to the WaterAdmin app. They can then monitor their water consumption, set up alerts and more. Both on their computers and phones.

Real-time cost estimates

Water costs are updated every minute. Financial impact of every bath, car wash or a shower is therefore immediately visible which increases motivation for saving water.

Resolving conflicts with tenants

The administrators have access to detailed water consumption data even without entering an apartment. This can be used for resolving conflicts with problematic tenants.

Measuring water consumption in inaccessible areas

Smart water meters allow you to calculate water bills even for abandoned or unused apartments.

Data available in CSV, Excel or via API

We believe that all data is yours. That's why we make it easy to use it in other programs.

Custom domain for the web app

Water Admin web app can be set up on a custom domain with a logo of your organization. Eg. `https://water.lakeview-residence.com`

"We complained to our heat supplier about a huge discrepancy in a bill they sent us. Our hot water consumption was lower than in previous period but they charged us three times more! Detailed history of hot water consumption from WaterAdmin app helped us prove their error. Thanks to that, we managed to get a refund."

Smart water meters existed for years but they were too expansive and complicated from technical, user and commercial perspective.

New convenient and affordable solution by BONEGA

  • Significantly lower initial and operational costs allow to place the water meter in every apartment.
  • Transmission interval of every 5 minutes opens up possibilities for instant alarms and detailed consumption reports.
  • The tenants can see the price of consumed water for every shower, bath, car washing etc., which provably incentivises savings.
  • The web application design is intuitive and understandable even for laypersons and works both on computers and phones.
  • If available, existing internet connection in the building can be used which makes the operation costs very low.
  • The system consists only of water meters with transmitters and a homebase. No other devices or sensors are needed.
  • The installation does not require any configuration. It is a mere replacement of water-meters, which every plumber can manage.
  • Simple and transparent commercial conditions without any complicated administrative fees.

Note: The system is designed for utilities, property managers, housing cooperatives as well as tenants.

How it works

  1. A smart water meter generates magnetic pulses that are sent through a wire to a radio transmitters. There is 1 transmitter for 2 water meters.
  2. A radio transmitter sends the data via radio every 5-20 minutes depending on the level of purchased services.
  3. A homebase collects data from dozens of transmitters in range and sends them to our secure servers. It can be connected to an existing internet connection in the building or a GSM modem can be used. The GSM modem contains a SIM card with a cheap internet connection that works in all EU countries with all mobile operators that have 2G/3G coverage in a given location.
  4. All charts, alarms and other features are available for administrators and tenants in an web app at WaterAdmin.com. Data is also downloadable in CSV or accessible via REST API.
  5. A smart water valve can be optionally connected to any water meter. The valve automatically closes the water when an emergency is detected (even without internet connection).
