Watermatic detects leaks, tracks your exact usage, and calculates your real bill — automatically, before the municipality does.
Most property owners only find out about a leak when the municipal bill arrives — weeks after the damage is done.
A slow pipe leak can run unnoticed for a month. By then, you've paid for thousands of litres you never used.
Municipalities regularly bill on estimates, not actual meter readings — leaving you to dispute charges after the fact.
Managing multiple sites means no central view of usage, costs, or alerts — just stacks of municipal statements.
These property owners found out about their leaks the hard way.
"We were on municipal estimated readings — the meter hadn't been physically read in months. A slow leak ran the whole time and nobody knew. When the actual reading finally came through, the bill was close to R200,000. Live monitoring would have caught it on day one."
"Six weeks of water drained away before we knew anything was wrong. Not a burst pipe — just a slow drip nobody caught. Every rand completely avoidable."
"I was away when it happened, so there was no way I'd have caught it myself. A leak ran the whole time and I had no idea — by the time anyone realized, it had cost enough to cover three months of rates. Watermatic would have picked it up the moment it started and alerted me, wherever I was."
No IT team required. No complex wiring. One meter per supply line — or many.
One or more Watermatic meters are fitted to your supply lines. No internet connection or power required at the meter.
The meter transmits readings wirelessly to Watermatic's cloud platform — every 15 minutes, hourly, or daily depending on your plan.
Watermatic detects anomalies, tracks your live month-to-date bill using your municipality's actual tariff blocks, and sends alerts to your phone, email, or WhatsApp — so you always know your number before the municipal statement arrives.
"Watermatic gives me live visibility across our entire portfolio. I know the status of every property before my phone rings — consumption, costs, alerts. It's changed how we manage water completely."
"The bill calculation alone is worth it. We finally know our real number before council sends the statement. No more disputes, no more estimates."
If you cancel before completing 24 months on a plan, Watermatic retains the sub-meter along with the smart probe. Once you've completed 24 months, the sub-meter is yours to keep — only the smart probe is retained by Watermatic if you cancel after that point.
It depends on your plan. Essential sends one alert per day. Smart detects and alerts hourly. Premium alerts every 15 minutes — useful for pinpointing exactly when and where a leak started. All plans include the exact daily Rand cost in the alert.
No. Watermatic meters transmit data over a dedicated wireless network — no internet connection, Wi-Fi, or power supply is required at the meter itself.
Yes. Each meter has its own plan. You get a single dashboard showing all your properties, meters, and costs in one place — ideal for property managers and body corporates. You can also run multiple meters on a single property, each monitored independently.
