Customer Profile

  • Segment: Residential apartment complexes, gated communities, and housing societies
  • Typical Scale: 50 to 500+ apartments with shared sump, overhead tanks, and borewell infrastructure
  • Location Focus: Bangalore and other Tier-1 Indian cities facing acute water scarcity
  • Decision Makers: Association President, Secretary, Managing Committee, Facility Manager
  • Current Process: Manual water level checks, plumber-dependent pump operations, no consumption visibility

The Challenge

Apartment associations in Bangalore are grappling with an escalating water crisis. With BWSSB supply becoming increasingly unreliable, communities depend heavily on borewells and tanker water — both expensive and unsustainable. Yet most associations have zero visibility into their actual water consumption, storage levels, or wastage patterns.

How It Works

  • Frequent tank overflows due to manual pump operations, leading to thousands of litres wasted daily
  • Complete dependence on a plumber for pump scheduling — delays, errors, and no backup
  • No real-time data on sump levels, tank levels, or daily consumption — decisions made blindly
  • Disputes during water allocation, especially in summer months with rationing
  • Inability to detect underground leaks or pipeline losses until the bills spike dramatically
  • Tanker costs escalating by 20–30% year-on-year with no strategy to reduce dependence
  • Usage based bill for apartments — current bill is based on apartment size not on consumption

The HydroSeries Solution

HydroSeries transforms apartment water infrastructure into an intelligent, automated system that eliminates guesswork, prevents wastage, and delivers measurable cost savings — all without major changes to existing plumbing.

Solution Components

HydroSmart L

Non-contact ultrasonic sensors installed on sumps and overhead tanks for real-time water level monitoring

HydroFlow

Inline ultrasonic flow meters on supply lines to track actual consumption per block/wing

HydroFlow

Inline ultrasonic flow meters on individual apartment lines to track actual consumption per apartment

HydroSmart IQ

Intelligent pump automation with dry-run protection, scheduled operation, and overflow prevention

Dashboard

Cloud-based dashboard accessible via web and mobile for committee members and facility managers

Smart Device Hub

LoRa based, no WiFi dependency, reliable mesh network across the campus with 4G connectivity

How It Works

Sensors continuously monitor water levels in sumps, overhead tanks, and borewells with 1mm accuracy

When sump is full and tank is low, pumps are triggered automatically — no plumber needed

Pumps shut off automatically when tanks are full or sump hits critical low — zero overflow, zero dry-run

Daily, weekly, and monthly consumption reports are auto-generated for the managing committee

Daily, weekly, and monthly consumption for individual apartments are measured, monthly billing is based on actual water consumption

Anomaly alerts (sudden drop, leak indicators, unusual consumption spikes) sent via App notifications

All data transmitted wirelessly via LoRa gateway — works even in underground sumps and across large campuses

Implementation Approach

  • Site Survey & Design: 1–2 days — mapping of tanks, sumps, pumps, and pipeline layout
  • Hardware Installation: 2–3 days — non-invasive sensor mounting, gateway setup, controller wiring
  • Cloud Configuration: 1 day — dashboard setup, user access, alert thresholds
  • Training & Handover: Half day — committee walkthrough, facility manager training
  • Total Deployment Time: Under 1 week for a typical 200-unit complex
  • Maintenance: Annual maintenance contract with remote monitoring and firmware updates

Value Delivered and ROI

Based on actual deployments and pilot data from Bangalore apartment associations:

Parameter Before HyroSeries After HydroSeries
Monthly Water Wastage 15,000–25,000 litres < 2,000 litres
Tank Overflow Incidents 5–10 per month Zero
Plumber Dependency Full-time (1–2 staff) Reduced to bare minimum
Tanker Orders/Month 8–12 tankers 4–6 tankers
Water Bill (Monthly) ₹1.2–1.8 Lakhs ₹0.85–1.2 Lakhs
Leak Detection Time Days to weeks Within hours
Committee Visibility None — verbal reports Real-time dashboard + reports

Key Benefits at a Glance

Eliminate tank overflows permanently with intelligent pump automation

Reduce tanker dependency by 30–50% through wastage prevention and consumption optimization

Empower the managing committee with data-driven water governance

Protect borewells from dry-run damage, extending infrastructure lifespan

Enable fair water rationing during scarcity with block-wise consumption data

Consumption based billing for individual apartments

Future-ready: integrate rainwater harvesting and STP recycled water into the same platform

Ideal for

  • Large apartment complexes (100+ units) with shared water infrastructure
  • Associations spending over ₹1 Lakh/month on water procurement (tankers + BWSSB)
  • Communities dependent on borewells facing declining water tables
  • New associations wanting to build water-efficient operations from day one
  • Complexes with multiple overhead tanks and sumps requiring coordinated pump management
