Reduce Non-Revenue Water With Our Wet-Tap Chlorine Analyzer
Water is a precious resource, yet millions of gallons are lost every year due to inefficiencies in monitoring and management systems. One significant contributor to this problem is non-revenue water (NRW) loss—water that is produced but not billed, often wasted in the process of measuring critical parameters like chlorine levels. Traditional chlorine sensors, while essential for ensuring water safety, can exacerbate this issue, draining resources and driving up costs. However, innovative solutions like the MP5 Sensors from Halogen Systems (www.halogensys.com) are revolutionizing water management by slashing waste, reducing costs, and improving operational efficiency.


The Problem: Non-Revenue Water Adds Up Quickly
For many water utilities, monitoring chlorine levels is a necessary but wasteful endeavor. Traditional sensors often require a constant flow of water to function, leading to staggering losses. At one utility, a single chlorine sensor consumed between 70,000 and 138,000 gallons of water annually just to measure chlorine levels. This translates to a significant financial burden: at that utility, the cost of non-revenue water reached over $1,400 per year, with an additional $1,000 spent on chemical reagents and labor to maintain the system.
Beyond the financial impact, logistical challenges compound the issue. Many sites lack the infrastructure to accommodate traditional sensors, which often require a drain for wastewater. In areas with septic systems, this waste stream can overwhelm capacity, rendering continuous monitoring impractical or impossible. The result? Utilities are left with wasted water, wasted money, and an inability to monitor water quality effectively at critical locations.
The Solution: Halogen Systems Chlorine Analyzer - MP5-A
Enter Halogen Systems’ MP5 Sensors—a groundbreaking solution designed to eliminate these pain points. Unlike conventional systems, the MP5 offers a suite of features that make it a standout choice for utilities aiming to reduce waste and improve efficiency
These features address both the environmental and economic challenges of traditional chlorine monitoring. By eliminating the need for a constant waste stream, the MP5 transforms a resource-draining process into a sustainable one.

No Waste Stream
The in-pipe design of the Wet Tap version ensures zero water loss during operation.

Battery-Operated
With a service life of 6 to 12 months, it minimizes maintenance needs.

NSF61 Certification
Approved for use in drinking water systems, ensuring safety and compliance.

Side Stream Option
Even in side stream configurations, water can be returned to a tank or process, drastically cutting waste.

Flow and Pressure Independent
The sensor operates reliably regardless of fluctuating conditions.

Real-World Impact: A Case Study from La Cumbre Water
Christopher Alvarado of La Cumbre Water has witnessed the transformative power of the MP5 firsthand. “Our old DPD system used 138,000 gallons of water per year just to measure chlorine,” he explains. Switching to the MP5 in a side stream configuration slashed their water usage to a mere 14,000 gallons annually—a reduction of nearly 90%. But La Cumbre Water Water isn’t stopping there. “Our next installation will use your Wet Tap Sensor, which has zero waste stream,” Alvarado adds.
This shift not only conserves water but also delivers significant cost savings. For a utility previously spending upwards of $2,400 annually on water, chemicals, and labor for a single sensor, the MP5 offers a compelling return on investment. Multiply these savings across multiple sites, and the impact becomes even more profound.
A Sustainable Future for Water Utilities
Non-revenue water losses represent a persistent challenge for utilities worldwide, but they’re not an insurmountable one. Halogen Systems’ MP5 Sensors provide a practical, innovative solution that tackles the root causes of waste head-on. By eliminating the need for wasteful drainage, reducing maintenance costs, and enabling monitoring in previously inaccessible locations, the MP5 empowers utilities to operate more sustainably and efficiently. As water scarcity becomes an increasingly pressing global issue, technologies like the MP5 are paving the way for smarter resource management. For utilities looking to cut costs, conserve water, and ensure compliance without compromise, Halogen Systems offers a clear path forward.
