Leak Detection

Leak detection systems provide early warning of unwanted fluid leaks before they cause equipment damage, downtime or unsafe conditions. IOThrifty offers both rope leak detectors for wide-area coverage and spot leak detectors for focused monitoring. These solutions are ideal for protecting data centers, mechanical rooms, chilled water systems and any environment where leaks from water or other liquids pose a risk.

Why Use Leak Detection

Leak detection devices help you react quickly to leaks by sensing moisture or conductive fluids the moment they reach the detection point. Our rope leak detectors can monitor long runs under raised floors, around equipment or along piping routes, making them ideal for high-risk or hard-to-access areas. Spot leak detectors provide precise monitoring at specific points such as drip pans, valves, pumps or HVAC equipment.

IOThrifty’s leak detection products are not limited to water alone. Our rope sensor cable has been tested against fluids such as propylene glycol — commonly used in chilled water and hydronic systems — and demonstrated excellent detection sensitivity. This makes the system well suited for facilities that rely on coolant loops or other non-water liquids.

Common Applications

Leak detection systems are used anywhere fluid leaks can cause operational or equipment issues.

• Data centers and server rooms where even small leaks can damage costly electronics

• Chiller plants, hydronic loops and cooling systems that use water or propylene glycol

• Mechanical rooms with pumps, boilers, HVAC units or condensate pans

• Storage areas, warehousing and finished goods zones where fluid damage impacts inventory

• Labs, cleanrooms and manufacturing floors where leaks can disrupt processes or contaminate equipment

• Under sinks, around water heaters and along plumbing runs in commercial buildings

Why Choose IOThrifty

IOThrifty provides leak detection solutions built for reliability, sensitivity and coverage. Rope-style detectors allow you to monitor long distances with a single sensor cable, while spot detectors offer targeted protection at key vulnerability points. Both options integrate easily with alarm panels, BMS systems, or environmental monitoring platforms to ensure fast and automated notification. With multiple cable lengths, rugged materials and compatibility with both water and glycol-based fluids, IOThrifty makes it simple to protect critical spaces from leaks.
