Introducing the new LD32-2 water leak detection system

LD32-2 System

CMR Electrical have updated their LD32 multizone water leak detection system. The new system like its predecessor, has been designed to continuously monitor a large number of areas for water leaks. Water leaking from tea points, vending machines, kitchen equipment, water purifying equipment etc. can cost thousands of pounds to rectify as well as causing massive disruption. Over the years, we have heard a number of stories from customers who when asking for a quotation, say “it wasn’t until the water started pouring down the wall from the ceiling that we knew we had a leak” or in one case that we know cost millions of pounds to rectify, “it wasn’t until water started pouring from the ceiling onto the servers within the server room….”. CMR Electrical have a wide range of water leak detection systems, ranging from a one zone for tea points, through to 32 zones for large buildings. We also manufacture a range of flow based water leak detection alarms to meet the requirements of BREEAM. All products are designed and manufactured within our UK based factory and are easy to install, economic and reliable.
