Remote water quality monitoring:
Automated compliance, 24/7
Managing water safety across multiple sites means consistent oversight and accurate records. Remote water quality monitoring gives you 24/7 visibility of your systems without the need for constant site visits.
Our remote water monitoring system uses smart sensors to track water temperatures around the clock, automatically logging data and flagging potential issues early. You get real-time visibility of your systems, reduced manual workload and peace of mind that your Legionella temperature monitoring is always covered.
For over 20 years, we've helped organisations across the UK stay on top of their water safety. Our automated Legionella monitoring solutions combine proven technology with the expertise and support you'd expect from a team that's been doing this for decades.
Remote monitoring supports compliance with ACoP L8 and HSG274, reduces human error and works the same whether you're managing one building or hundreds.
The key benefits of remote monitoring
Before you book – what to expect
Everything you need to know about how our remote water quality monitoring service works, what it covers, and how we price it.
Remote monitoring replaces manual paperwork with a permanent, automated compliance record. Here's what's included in every installation:
- Wireless IoT smart sensors: precision hardware fitted directly into your pipework at key monitoring points. Each sensor runs on a long-life lithium battery and measures water temperature every 30 seconds, around the clock
- Gateway device: collects readings from the sensors and pushes the data securely to the cloud every 15 minutes
- Secure compliance dashboard: stores all your temperature records automatically, with time-stamped entries and a full audit trail. No manual logs or missing paperwork
- 24/7 remote monitoring: our team monitors your data stream and flags any compliance risks as they happen. Automated temperature tracking, every day of the year
- Ongoing expert support: data interpretation, compliance advice and the ability to adjust or scale the system as your building or business changes
- Minimal on-site maintenance: lithium batteries last up to 10 years, so once the system is live, there’s no need for constant engineering or servicing visits
Installation is carried out by qualified water safety engineers. The visit has two stages.
-
1
First, we assess the water system layout to identify the best sensor positions. The points in your pipework that give the most meaningful compliance data.
-
2
Then we fit the wireless probes directly onto the pipework and set up the gateway device. The process is quiet and contained, designed to run around your building's normal operations with as little disruption as possible.
-

Once it's done, the system runs in the background. The whole point of the installation is to remove the need for routine site checks, manual temperature flushing and repeat engineer visits going forward.
Timings
How pricing works
There are three cost components:
- One-off installation fee: covers the gateway device, smart sensors and the engineer time to survey, map and fit the system
- Monthly subscription: a fixed operational cost calculated per device installed
- Annual consultancy fee: covers ongoing data monitoring, expert analysis and year-round compliance support
- The overall cost is tailored to each site. The main variables are the physical size of the premises, the complexity of the plumbing network and the number of monitoring devices needed to cover all critical risk points.
How remote monitoring works
Our IoT water monitoring solutions use wireless sensors installed directly into your pipework at key points throughout your site. These sensors measure water temperature every 30 seconds.
Data is transmitted to a cloud-based dashboard through a gateway device every 15 minutes. Our team monitors the data remotely from our base in Yorkshire. If anything looks wrong, we spot it quickly and let you know the best next steps. All the information you need for compliance is stored securely and available when you need it.
Installation is straightforward. Our engineers assess your site, identify the best places for sensors and fit everything with minimal disruption. Once it's up and running, the wireless water temperature data logging system works quietly in the background.
Who remote monitoring is for
Remote water monitoring works well for organisations looking to simplify compliance, reduce routine site visits and get better visibility of their water systems.
It's especially useful for:
Housing associations managing large property estates – stay on top of water safety across hundreds of properties without constant site visits
Facilities managers responsible for schools, care homes, leisure centres or office buildings – take the admin off your team while keeping compliance covered
National organisations like healthcare providers and nursery groups – consistent monitoring that works the same way at every location
Any organisation looking to cut down on manual checks, save time on temperature monitoring or make compliance more straightforward
