Residential Water Usage Monitoring App
Mainlink’s consumer mobile app is a user-friendly solution that promotes water conservation. Residents can effortlessly monitor their water consumption and receive critical notifications, including alerts for potential leaks—prompting timely action and supporting sustainable living. The app is fully compliant with California Code of Regulations UR.2 – Accessibility of Consumer Indication – and NIST Handbook 44, both of which require that meter readings be “readily observable.” With Mainlink’s mobile app, there’s no need for remote meter displays—helping you eliminate unnecessary hardware and avoid significant additional costs.
Eliminate Remote Meter Display With Mainlink's Residential Mobile App
California Code of Regulations UR.2 – Accessibility of Customer Indication – and NIST Handbook 44 require that water meters be “readily observable.” When meters are concealed behind walls, ceilings, or located in mechanical rooms, this has traditionally meant installing a remote meter display to ensure that residents and inspectors can access water usage data without tools or special access.
With Mainlink, there’s no need for costly wall-mounted meter displays. Our mobile app delivers meter data directly to residents’ smartphones—meeting regulatory requirements while saving property owners significant hardware and installation costs.
Why Choose Our Water Usage Monitoring App?
Mainlink’s water usage app allows residents to monitor their water consumption no matter where they are, at any time of the day—with no physical access to the water meter required! The residential app allows monitoring water consumption remotely, with essential features such as leak detection, burst and freeze alerts, and detailed usage history. This empowers users to make sustainable choices about their water use while supporting fair and transparent billing by allowing them to see their consumption and react instantly when issues arise.
The residential app is a user-friendly, cost-effective mobile app designed to give residents back power and control over their consumption. Comparative usage history, detailed and accurate consumption tracking, and alerts to the phone give users all the information they need to make informed, data-driven choices.
Our residential water usage app comes packaged with our smart metering solution, so owners and property managers can relax with the knowledge that their residents are full participants in the water management process. Although users do get access to the residential app through the Mainhive platform, it’s separate from the water utility software that’s specifically for owners and building managers. The Mainhive platform has its own dedicated features for system-wide monitoring and management needs.
