Hold the pressure the network needs, and no more
Pressure that runs higher than it has to costs energy, wears the network and turns small defects into bursts. You can only manage it where you can see it.
Both sides of the control point, and the critical point beyond it.
Inlet and outlet at pressure-reducing valves and regulator stations, and the point in the zone where pressure is lowest under peak demand. Together they show whether the setting is right for the network as it behaves today.
What the network upstream is delivering to the control point.
What the valve is actually setting, across the whole day.
Where pressure is lowest under peak demand — the constraint that matters.
So pressure can be read against demand rather than in isolation.
A typical configuration.
In CLog.
Pressure profiles across the day, before and after a setting change, with the critical point beside the control point. Enough to justify a change and to show what it achieved.
A profile of the network as it behaves today, not as it was designed.
Shaving avoidable pressure takes stress off the mains that fail first.
Pumping to a pressure the network does not need is the easiest cost to stop paying.
Put a number on your pressure.
Tell us the control point and the critical point, and we will scope what it takes to see both.
