A more intelligent generation of pressure management

The i2O system continuously adjusts and controls the pressure of water going into a DMA so that under all demand levels, low to high, the average zone pressure is kept to the minimum required, consistent with good service.

By applying a range of algorithms which vary the output pressure of a PRV, pressure at the critical point in any DMA is kept at a more stable level, irrespective of demand.  An advanced pilot valve replaces the conventional unit, while the controller to the pilot valve and a sensor located at the DMA’s critical point communicate with i2O’s server over the GSM network. Once data has been received, i2O’s software transmits specific algorithms for each DMA back to the controller, which then continuously calculates the optimum output pressure, adjusting the pilot valve accordingly.

Intelligent Water Control is more than better technology. It is a completely new and innovative system. The algorithms are updated daily by i2O’s software, enabling them to respond to any changes in the DMA, such as new houses or factory openings or closings. Compatible with all globe-type PRVs, featuring a 5 year battery life and bristling with failsafe back-up features,  the i2O system has virtually eliminated unreliability.

Installing the i2O system results in reduced leakage, fewer bursts, and, critically, improved customer service. Understanding of the network is expanded dramatically as vital information about each DMA is collected by i2O servers and relayed to client companies on a daily basis, giving them advance warning of increasing leakage and low pressures.

Which makes water control pre-emptive, not reactive.
