Water Temperature Remote Monitoring

By installing digital remote monitoring water safety units at locations across the UK, we have cut monthly visits, saved thousands of visits each year and reducing our carbon footprint signifcantly. They are linked to software which allows for real-time updates, all accessible to the Nant team and our clients, increasing safety and compliance.

L8 Remote, the solution we use, saves time and money against traditional, manual, monitoring techniques. It easily connects to pipework and connects with the cloud to produce analytics and alerts from the data. Users can be given access with varied permissions.

L8 Remote represents a best-in-class digital solution for water monitoring that is reliable, affordable, and innovative. Designed to meet regulatory requirements for the Legionella control code of practice, the L8 Remote leverages connectivity and real-time data management to provide up-to-the-hour temperature readings of your water.

FAQs

How does water temperature remote monitoring benefit clients?

By continuing to roll out L8 across their portfolio, Nant can manage cost efficiently, focussing staff on key duties instead of mandatory client site visits.

Clients have access to real time alerts about areas of concern for prioritisation at the same times as Nant, who can invest in staff training to enhance engineer skills for repairing equipment rather than carrying out test checks.

What do customers say about water temperature remote monitoring?

Among the clients to benefit is property compliance and management experts Velway Limited, based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, who manage a portfolio of care homes, medical centres and large commercial developments covering retail and leisure.

Robin Harris, Managing Director, said Velway had benefitted from Nant’s remote monitoring system. He said: “During the pandemic Nant tackled the big issues with us. Covid was a massive challenge to us as the legionella threat remained despite Covid 19 restricting free movement. We use the L8 remote monitoring where it fits best. It is valuable with care homes and medical centres especially during Covid as it reduced the need for visits.”

Has Nant's water temperature remote monitoring work been recognised?

Nant’s commitment to excellence and innovation through the implementation of water temperature remote monitoring was recognised when they secured the Excellence in Tech and Innovation prize at the 2022 Black Country Chamber of Commerce Awards.

“We had a water leak at one of our properties and the L8 remote was able to tell us where it was coming from. Nant’s response was exceptional. They attended the property promptly and were able to identify and fix the leak the same day.”
