en.Wedoany.com Reported - McWane has launched iHydrantPlus™, building on its fire hydrant system monitoring technology by combining acoustic leak detection, pressure monitoring, and temperature data with machine learning tools to provide real-time system analysis and alerts for private and public water system operators. The system is designed to help operators reduce non-revenue water loss.

Water treatment plants invest significant resources in purifying water to potable standards, and protecting this investment is critical to maintaining budget compliance, system efficiency, and public trust. iHydrantPlus provides operators with real-time data on system challenges such as leaks and pressure anomalies to support proactive management.

Will McWane, President of McWane, stated that iHydrant laid the foundation for the innovative expansion of iHydrantPlus, an ecosystem built for utilities to make data-driven decisions, helping to uncover blind spots in water supply networks and address challenges such as aging infrastructure, water scarcity, and climate conditions.

Unlike single-source readings, the system layers information and leverages machine learning to identify leaks and other system issues in real time. By combining data sources, iHydrantPlus can flag significant changes in system performance, guiding teams to areas requiring attention without deactivating fire hydrants.

Karen Siu, Director of iHydrant at McWane, noted that water loss has always been a difficult challenge to address, and iHydrantPlus will provide water utilities with a proactive approach and clearer system awareness to manage efficiently and plan for a sustainable future. The system is the result of years of dedicated research, collaboration, and field testing.

iHydrantPlus maintains the same ease of installation as the original iHydrant while adding additional features, and its hydrant-centric design improves monitoring system reliability without disrupting daily operations or system maintenance.

McWane companies produce ductile iron pipe, valves, fire hydrants, fittings, and plumbing products, as well as manufacturing fire extinguishers, fire suppression systems, and steel pressure vessels. The company has over 6,000 team members dedicated to supporting their communities.
