- Remote leakage identification to reduce leak run-time and improve efficiency
- PrimeWeb map based data available using a web browser
- Leak confirmation
- Audio files available for remote listening to confirm presence of leak noise
- Evaluation of daily leak noise histogram
- Phocus noise algorithm reduces incidence of undetected leaks
- Three sample periods to separate usage from leakage thus reducing false alarms
