Why investing in a digital water multimeter makes sense for installers.
In today’s plumbing industry, precision in water measurements is a necessity for efficiently diagnosing problems and effectively specifying solutions. This ensures a water system’s optimal performance can be achieved and, for installers, enables them to deliver high levels of customer satisfaction.
However, with differing tools and methods needed to capture the required water readings, installers face obtaining inaccurate data and undertaking regular retesting – both of which come at the detriment of time.
One way installers can simplify the process of taking readings is using Salamander Pumps’ AquaScan solution. AquaScan is a four-in-one digital multimeter designed to provide precise water insights for installers working with building water systems. It delivers accurate, live, easy-to-read measurements for water flow, pressure, temperature, and hardness (via Total Dissolved Solids).
For installers, investing in AquaScan brings a host of benefits, from time-saving efficiency to greater versatility when diagnosing potential issues.
How installers use AquaScan
With its ability to take four different readings at the same time, installers can use the data generated through AquaScan in a range of different scenarios. Our community of installers say these include (but are not limited to):
Product specification for mains-fed systems
Pressure testing and fault diagnosis on mains water pipework
Temperature checks on gravity and mains-fed outlets
Commissioning and servicing support.
Why installers invest in AquaScan
Return on investment (ROI) is a key consideration for installers when adding a new solution to their toolkit. AquaScan delivers a range of benefits, making it a worthwhile investment.
Time savings are one of the strongest ROI factors. Using the multimeter, installers not only reduce time spent taking water measurements with multiple tools, but also avoid potential issues around under or overspecifying solutions for the job. Compared with taking four separate analogue water measurements, AquaScan delivers precise, digitally displayed data to provide installers with accurate readings to support diagnostics and specification.
Ryan, an installer who uses AquaScan, said: “I regularly carry out annual servicing on unvented hot water cylinders which involves testing of temperature control and flow rates, something that AquaScan can easily provide. I find using flow cups not overly accurate and AquaScan provides correct results.”
Opting to take digital measurements over traditional analogue methods can also help position an installer as a modern professional who embraces technology. From a customer perspective, this creates a positive impression before any work has even been undertaken.
An installer from Jones Kitchens & Bathrooms said: “It sets me apart from other businesses who may also be quoting for the same project as it looks professional and thorough.”
AquaScan makes sense
Modern plumbing requires modern solutions to ensure problems are diagnosed quickly and correct solutions are specified. Investing in a digital water multimeter like AquaScan is an excellent way for installers to upgrade their toolkit with a reliable measurement solution.
AquaScan delivers fast, accurate water measurements for installers, while also positioning them to customers as a trusted professional who uses technology, not guesswork, to identify problems.
The proof lies in the feedback we’ve received: “AquaScan has been a game-changer for my shower installations. I carry out a pressure flow test on every job and, with AquaScan, I no longer need multiple tools – just one device that does it all”, said Stephen, an installer we spoke with.
Gary, another installer, added: “The investment has paid for itself already. Without AquaScan, I couldn’t have tested accurately at numerous points and diagnosed the exact issue. Investing in AquaScan meant that I saved a customer money and stress with a first-time fix.”
AquaScan is an investment that makes sense for installers looking to save time, obtain accurate water measurements and deliver high customer satisfaction.
