A freeze or leak from a roof top water tank may lead to catastrophic flooding throughout a building. One potential cause for such leaks may include a malfunctioning float leading to excessive water pump run-time and eventual tank overflow.
Another may be frozen water in the tank or pipes, leading to bursts and leaks. Monitoring water
pump run-time, tank water temperature and pipe temperatures, and setting alerts for excessive
runs (for the pumps) and low water temperature (for the tank and pipes), may help identify and
prevent catastrophic occurrences, providing the building owner with an added sense of security and risk reduction.
Solution: Monitoring and set alerts for water pump run time, water tank temperature, and pipe
temperatures.
