The problem

Water leaks are silent.
The bills aren't.

You find out when the bill arrives — sometimes months too late.

Setup

Up and running in hours

No IT team required. No complex wiring. One sub-meter per supply line — or many.

1

Install your Watermatic hardware

We fit a sub-meter and smart probe — or just a probe if your meter is compatible. No power or internet needed at the device.

2

Data flows automatically

The probe sends readings to our cloud every 15 minutes, hourly or daily, depending on your plan.

3

Log in to your dashboard and stay in control

Live usage across all your sites, costed with your municipality's tariff blocks. Add Cost Analytics to reconcile against your statement for a confirmed number.

4

Get alerted before the bill arrives

Possible leaks and meter notices, like an empty battery or clock error, land in your inbox. Choose which alerts reach you (WhatsApp coming soon).

FAQ

Common questions

If you cancel before completing 24 months on a plan, Watermatic retains the sub-meter along with the smart probe. Once you've completed 24 months, the sub-meter is yours to keep — only the smart probe is retained by Watermatic if you cancel after that point.

It depends on your plan. The Daily plan sends one alert per day. Hourly detects and alerts hourly. 15-Minute alerts every 15 minutes — useful for pinpointing exactly when and where a leak started. All plans include the exact daily Rand cost in the alert.

No. Watermatic's smart probes transmit data over a dedicated wireless network — no internet connection, Wi-Fi, or power supply is required at the sub-meter itself.

Yes. Each sub-meter has its own plan. You get a single dashboard showing all your properties, sub-meters, and costs in one place — ideal for property managers and body corporates. You can also run multiple sub-meters on a single property, each monitored independently.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing

Bulk meters serve as your property's main reconciliation point against the municipal bill and carry a small premium.
