Solutions for Every Step in the Leak Detection Process

Gutermann offers a complete portfolio for acoustic leak detection, from mobile microphones to fully automated network analysis. Below, we explain the four main categories:
Acoustic Microphones

Accurate Leak Detection with Superior Amplification

The Aquascope series from Gutermann is known for its high-quality sensors and excellent sound amplification. These ground microphones and hand probes help detect leaks more quickly and accurately than many other systems on the market. Ideal for inspection teams that want to manually locate leaks.

Leak Noise Correlators

Robust and user-friendly correlators with high accuracy

The Aquascan leak noise correlators combine an elegant design with reliable performance. They are designed for long-term use in the field and are praised for their ease of use. Laboratory tests confirm that their accuracy ranks among the highest in the market. Various models are available, including those for challenging conditions such as main pipelines.
Correlating Radio Loggers

Automatic correlation with unprecedented precision

The Zonescan AI loggers from Gutermann are among the most advanced on the market. They are compact, robust, and feature a powerful proprietary radio signal connection. Thanks to automatic correlation and smart firmware, they can locate leaks with a precision of less than one meter – without manual triggers or analysis.

Pipe and Valve Detection

Effective and Easy to Use

These products complete the portfolio. With Gutermann's pipe and valve locators, you can quickly and reliably determine the location of pipes and valves. The equipment is designed for intuitive use and supports efficient field operations.

Who is Gutermann leak detection meant for?

Gutermann's leak detection solutions are developed for organizations actively involved in the management, maintenance, or design of underground water networks. Whether it concerns drinking water, district heating, or cooling networks: with Gutermann, you prevent unnecessary water loss, increase operational reliability, and reduce operational costs.

Drinking Water Companies

Gutermann assists drinking water companies in the early detection of leaks in the distribution network. With acoustic detection and permanent network monitoring, you minimize water loss and extend the lifespan of your pipes.

Frequently asked questions about Gutermann leak detection

Acoustic leak detection uses sensors to detect the sound of water leaks in pipes. By analyzing these sounds and, if necessary, correlating them across multiple measurement points, the exact location of a leak can be pinpointed, often to within less than a meter.
With automatic correlation, such as with Zonescan AI, measurement data is continuously compared between loggers in the network. This happens completely automatically, without manual triggers. This results in faster and more accurate leak detection, with less chance of error messages or missed signals.
What is the difference between a mobile solution and permanent network monitoring?
Yes, Gutermann offers special configurations (such as the Aquascan TM2 district heating set) suitable for applications with insulated pipes or unusual materials. Even underground networks with high ambient noise levels can be effectively monitored.
Yes, the system is modular. Imbema also supplies accessories, cases, tablets, antennas, and upgrades for existing sets. This allows you to expand the system as your network or needs grow.
Absolutely. Imbema offers technical support, user instructions, training, and project management. We actively collaborate with you to find the best solution for your network.
