This is what we believe. But, water is scarce and managing a water network can be difficult. We still have the opportunity to act. We can change these shocking numbers, together.
0%
of all produced drinking water globally is lost through leaks
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that up to 30% of water worldwide is lost to leaky pipes and that, in the U.S. alone, an average of 700 water main breaks occur every day.

Wasted water costs us $20 million globally each day. That's in addition to the costs of repair and replacement...
Life is too short to feel lost in leaks
We care about your challenges. We know that leaks are a hard job. But, keep running in rounds through the network is a waste of valuable time and money on expensive equipment. For a long time making small DMAs and heavy acoustic logging was the only way to find new leaks. Do you recognize these challenges that other utilities shared with us?
Leaks continue to happen and I feel I lose control
I get so many false alarms, I lose control of all the data
A new sensor costs money, where should I place it most optimally to not waste resources
It takes days or weeks before I know exactly what and where a leak is happening
It costs a lot of money to install and maintain DMAs
I chase every leak, but sometimes without the right prioritization
Compared to traditional leak detection algorithms, HULO's algorithms showed 3 times better results.
Faster and better leak detection
Compared to traditional leak detection algorithms, HULO's algorithms showed 3 times better results.
Modular models, easy to integrate in system
With our modular models, HULO is able to localize leaks all over the world. Moreover, the smaller leaks can also be found.
Up to 50% cost saving on sensor placement
With HULO's algorithms, sensor implementation does not have to be that expensive anymore. HULO's DMA design and optimization technology allows for bigger DMA's compared to traditional methods, keeping the same or even better results.

Save investments. No need for small DMAs or accoustic monitoring anymore to find leaks in real time.
Read how HULO is different. Instead of solving the symptom, we're solving the disease. Together we are saving water, but also saving investments, due to a clever approach.
Traditional solutions
Traditional solutions
Try to only solve the symptom, which are the leaks. Actually the disease is not having insights. To solve the symptom, traditional solutions require heavy investments installing & maintaining small DMAs or many sensors to be able to add value, which is a costly approach and takes a long time to get started.
When not available, the alarms are inaccurate and do not include useful localization. Solutions can be hard to implement because models need to be trained, and softwares are not interoperable with existing IT infrastructure.
Technicians still are spending much time on finding new leaks.
HULO's different approach
HULO's approach
Solves the disease of not having insights. By creating insights, the symptoms will be solved too. For this, HULO does not require DMAs and works with the existing infrastructure. By only 8 days the models are trained and leaks will be detected and localized. Due to its precise and quick analysis, it achieves low false alarms and dense localization even in big networks, within minutes. Built by a modular approach, it is easy to integrate with existing IT infrastructure and other software platforms. Most importantly, HULO helps creating insights towards a digital twin (L4).
Proven and trusted by utilities varying from high to low water losses, where technicians now can do more in the same time.
HULO’s journey started in 2017 with a strong academical collaboration on fundamental research for a new way to monitor water networks, in collaboration with leading Dutch water utilities.

HULO’s journey started in 2017 with a strong academical collaboration on fundamental research for a new way to monitor water networks (funded by Dutch water utilities). HULO was officially established in 2021. HULO’s mission is to provide a globally affordable solution to improve water supplies and to reduce NRW by doing it the smart way, ’together’ with our clients. We believe that developing knowledge together with our clients is most beneficial for a sustainable and future proof water supply.
