Tackling leakage in a water network is an ongoing struggle. While they can never be totally eradicated, leakage and pipe bursts can at least be controlled and minimised. One way to do this is to control the pressure of the water being pumped around your network. On this page you will find tips for improving control of water pumps using variable speed drives, plus advice on maximising resilience and finding ways to cut your energy costs.
