The AQUA-L Series is our premium range of multi-sensor acoustic pipe leak
detectors. Designed by geotechnical engineers and hands-on technology experts,
the AQUA-L Series offers exceptional precision, ease of use, and accessibility that you
can truly count on. Its impressive ability to penetrate a large variety of surface areas to
a maximum depth of 5 meters, can reveal a pipe leak within walls and below the ground
from the bathroom to ovals and fields to carparks, major roads and highways. By using
its highly-sensitive ceramic sensor’s ability to clearly identify the leak.
INTRODUCTION:
Our AQUA-L Series multi-sensor water pipeline leak detectors capture the leak in
the form of frequencies. When a pipeline burst is present below ground or within a
wall, it creates what someone might call a gushing sound. This gushing sound can be
measured in frequencies (Hz) via its sensors, which are then processed by the host
machine, then shown on the display screen as a visual spectrum with signal bars.
The sound is simultaneously transmitted through its noise-cancelling headphones.
This is the easiest and most effective method of locating a burst pipe without the
user always having to pump the line with gas and/or digging any unnecessary holes.
The closer the detector’s sensor is to the leak, the greater the indication sound will
be. The visual spectrum bars will also adjust in height accordingly, depending how
close the detector is to the leak.

1. Preparation:
For detecting a pipe leak in an outdoor environment:
a. Confirm that a pipe leak is in fact present. This can be done by tracking water loss
via a water main/water meter. Unexplained water puddles also indicate a possible
burst within a pipeline.
Note: A water main/water meter test can only be accurately performed when there
is no water use within the property. This means shutting off all indoor and outdoor
water-consuming appliances such as taps, toilets, showers, washing machine,
irrigation system. If the water meter continues to tick over, a leak is present.
b. Search and check for any unknown water flow around the pipe well.
c. Check for any land subsidence around the pipeline.
d. Use the medium or large outdoor sensor to check the value of any abnormal leak
sounds below ground of the suspected areas of concern.
e. Use architectural plumbing layout plans to identify where a pipeline may run.
Otherwise, a “Pipe locator” may be used to find the direction of the pipeline if the
direction is unknown.
For indoor detection of pipe leakage:
a. Confirm that a pipe leak is in fact present. This can be done by tracking water loss
via a water main/water meter. Unexplained water puddles also indicate a possible
burst within a pipeline. Otherwise, conduct a pipeline pressure holding test with a
manual water pressure tester.
b. If the pipeline’s direction is unknown, a thermal imaging camera can be used to
determine the direction of the pipeline (this is optional – although especially
useful when a hot-water line has burst).

2. Sensor selection:
Our “AQUA-L Series” offers a variety of sensors. It is very important to choose the
correct sensor for detecting a leak. The sensors included in the kit (depending on
the model) are;
a. Indoor floor sensor:
The indoor floor sensor is suitable for use on indoor tiled surface areas, timber
floors, epoxy coated floors, laminate floors, etc.
b. Wall sensor:
The wall sensor is used on walls, especially useful in narrow, hard-to-reach spaces
such as tight spots around walls, beneath cabinets and vanities, around toilet
cisterns, etc.
c. Medium Outdoor sensor:
The medium outdoor sensor is suitable for low noise-polluted environments such as
external pavements, footpaths, concrete slabs, and suburban streets. The steel
rod/soil probe may be attached to this sensor via the adapter in order to detect the
pipe leak within gardens, ovals and fields, sand, soils, etc.
d. Large Outdoor sensor:
This sensor is best used within high-traffic and noise-polluted environments such as
car parks, major highways and freeways, large construction sites, airports, including
water and fire hydrant systems.
3. Assembly instructions:
Step: 1
Connect the strap to the back of the display screen.
Step: 2
Connect the desired sensor via plug to the display screen (this may vary depending
on the leak context and environment).
• Wall sensor for leaks within a wall.
• Floor sensor for leaks below-ground.

Once assembly of the product is complete, read the “Operation Instructions”
carefully to perform different operations on the product according to use;
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Step: 3
Connect the noise-cancelling headphones to the display screen via the provided AUX
cable and place it comfortably over your head. (AUX allows for instantaneous sound).
Note: The above steps are for general use and should be followed before operating the
product. Do not initiate a leak detection without attaching the strap to the display
screen.
1. For Outdoor Operation:
Press and hold the red “ON/OFF” button for at least 2 seconds to boot and enter to
the interface, as shown in the figure below;
