Not bills.

Water leaks are silent.
The bills aren't.

Most property owners only find out about a leak when the municipal bill arrives — weeks after the damage is done.

💧

Leaks go undetected for weeks

A slow pipe leak can run unnoticed for a month. By then, you've paid for thousands of litres you never used.

📄

Estimated readings overcharge you

Municipalities regularly bill on estimates, not actual meter readings — leaving you to dispute charges after the fact.

🏢

No visibility across properties

Managing multiple sites means no central view of usage, costs, or alerts — just stacks of municipal statements.

Up and running in hours

No IT team required. No complex wiring. One sub-meter per supply line — or many.

1

Install your Watermatic hardware

A sub-meter and smart probe are fitted to your supply line — or just a probe, if you already have a compatible meter. No internet or power needed at the device.

2

Data flows automatically

The smart probe sends readings to our cloud — every 15 minutes, hourly, or daily, depending on your plan.

3

Watermatic analyses, alerts, and keeps you in control

Watermatic tracks your live usage using your municipality's tariff blocks and alerts you by email (WhatsApp coming soon). Add Cost Analytics to reconcile against your statement for a confirmed number.

"The bill calculation alone is worth it. We finally know our real number before council sends the statement. No more disputes, no more estimates."

Common questions

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. The Daily plan sends one alert per day. Hourly detects and alerts hourly. 15-Minute 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's smart probes transmit data over a dedicated wireless network — no internet connection, Wi-Fi, or power supply is required at the sub-meter itself.

Yes. Each sub-meter has its own plan. You get a single dashboard showing all your properties, sub-meters, and costs in one place — ideal for property managers and body corporates. You can also run multiple sub-meters on a single property, each monitored independently.

Simple, transparent pricing

Bulk meters serve as your property's main reconciliation point against the municipal bill and carry a small premium.
