Water

Even small leaks add up fast. Don't underestimate your losses!

  • A typical leak of 1 litre (0.26 gallons) per minute adds up to an incredible 525 cubic metres (138,848 gallons) per year.
  • A typical 10,000 gallon firefighting water storage tank with a leak that size would be dry in 26 days — less than a month.
  • In Toronto, water costs $4.13/m3. That's $2,168 CAD/year wasted for one leak.
  • In Boston, water costs $7.201/1000 gallons. That's $999 USD/year wasted for one leak.
  • Water is a valuable resource, and water loss control demands accountability.
  • Leaks can lead to pressure issues and can increase the risk of system failure.

Water is one of the most important commodities on the planet, and every organization storing water must be accountable for protection of that resource. Although a small, dripping leak may not represent massive loss of product revenue, the hidden consequences of these leaks can wreak havoc on pressure systems and eventually lead to system malfunctions, triggering much larger expenses.

Traditionally, fixing even a small water leak required draining the tank, doing the repair and then refilling it — a time-consuming and costly operation. Time is money, water is money, and Bolt Boss can help you save both.
