LimpetReader™
Take control of your business water use with our end-to-end solution.
Our in-house water monitoring solution
Your water meter holds valuable information about your business. Accessing it shouldn’t mean lifting chamber covers or waiting for your next bill.
Deer Technology, the developer of LimpetReader™ and Limpet15™, is part of the Inspired group, bringing our water monitoring technology and consultancy expertise together under one roof.
Remote meter readings and detailed consumption data from LimpetReader™ and Limpet15™ – help you understand usage, identify waste and manage costs across your estate.
For your business, this means a coordinated service from installation and remote meter readings through to consumption analysis and practical support to reduce waste and manage costs, with direct access to the expertise behind the technology.
Make water usage easier to manage
A leak, an unexpected increase in consumption or an inaccurate bill can go unnoticed when readings are months apart. Regular, reliable data gives you a clearer view of what is happening — and where to focus your attention.
With LimpetReader and Limpet15, you can:
- Support accurate billing with regular readings to check against supplier invoices.
- Identify potential waste by tracking changes in consumption.
- Reduce manual meter reading and the need for routine visits to difficult-to-access meters.
- Compare sites across your estate to prioritise investigations and improvements.
- Measure the impact of action by tracking consumption after repairs or efficiency measures.
Choose the visibility your business needs
LimpetReader: reliable readings, remotely
LimpetReader photographs your meter’s register and converts the image into a reading, giving you a regular record of consumption supported by photographic evidence.
With weekly readings, you can monitor usage between bills, investigate discrepancies and reduce reliance on manual readings.
Ideal for: businesses seeking reliable meter readings, better billing visibility and a consistent view of consumption across multiple sites.
Limpet15: see when water is being used
Limpet15 combines photographic meter readings with consumption data recorded at 15-minute intervals, available the following day.
That additional detail helps you understand when water is being used, including overnight, at weekends or when a building is closed. Persistent flow or changes in normal patterns can highlight potential leaks, running equipment or unnecessary use that warrants investigation.
Ideal for: businesses that want to actively manage consumption, investigate out-of-hours usage and track water efficiency improvements.
Better water visibility, on your timetable
Your water meter is typically owned by your local water wholesaler, so when it is replaced or upgraded to a smart meter is largely outside your control.
For businesses with sites across several wholesaler regions, this can create a fragmented picture of water consumption across the estate.
LimpetReader and Limpet15 give you a way to improve visibility without waiting for those replacement programmes. Our devices retrofit to compatible existing meters, providing remote readings and consumption data without replacing the meter or interrupting your water supply.
From water data to informed action
Technology provides the visibility. Inspired’s water specialists help you understand what to do next.
We can support your business with reviewing consumption, investigating unusual usage and identifying opportunities to reduce waste. Our wider water consultancy services also bring together procurement, bill validation and auditing, helping you manage water as part of your overall utility strategy.
Whether you need better information for a facilities team, evidence to support a billing query or a coordinated approach across your estate, we can shape the service around your priorities.
