A smart investment for new construction and rehab properties.
ION simplifies the complex challenge of controlling water consumption and cost in new construction and acquisition properties through our proven end-to-end single source solution that transforms the way you manage water.
60% reduction in water consumption
ION’s End-to-End Water Management system currently helps affordable housing developers manage water use in 100,000 units across the US with an average 60% reduction in water consumption.
Stabilized water use and cost
By installing ION’s End-to-End Water Management system in new construction and acquisition properties, developers lock in controlled water use from the start to ensure long-term, predictable savings.
Increased NOI
ION drives water efficiency and cost savings from day one, helping developers preserve capital that would otherwise be lost to high, often volatile water expenses so capital can be reinvested where it’s needed most.
Seamless integration
Integration with Yardi and RealPage automates work orders to alert maintenance teams to specific, unit level invisible leaks while a detailed dashboard provides comprehensive understanding of water use at the unit, property and portfolio levels.
Unit level leak detection
With over 2,000 data points tracked per gallon, ION provides highly accurate unit and fixture-level insights. Invisible, high-volume leaks are easily detected and prioritized, boosting maintenance team effectiveness and efficiency.
AI driven, actionable data in real time
Daily reports provide reliable, easy to understand insights directing maintenance teams to the most problematic leaks first, minimizing water loss while saving time and personnel resources.
Industry leading, human centric support
ION’s dedicated support team partners with clients to address unique challenges. We earn our partners’ trust daily by being available, responsive, and invested in helping partners achieve their water stabilization and savings goals.
A sustainable solution
Water is a critical resource under threat from drought, contamination, failing infrastructure, and more. Managing water resources responsibly by controlling use and cost benefits developers, communities and the environment.
Total savings. Total visibility. Total control of water.
Three powerful components make up ION’s total water management solution.
TECHNOLOGY
Catch leaks before they cost you.
ION Identify Detection™ sensor technology identifies leaks as they happen, giving you total visibility of water use and greater control of water costs.
ION Identify Detection™

VISION
Expose the hidden line item in your budget.
Make invisible water issues visible across your entire portfolio of properties.
Invisible water loss is a significant drain on operating budgets
- Over 50% of water consumed and paid for in affordable housing is wasted
- The industry loses an estimated 390 billion gallons annually to invisible leaks, primarily from running toilets, water heaters, and other plumbing fixtures
- These leaks cost the affordable housing industry over $5.8 billion per year
Water costs are rising
- Water rates are rising at 2.5 times the rate of inflation
- Demand for water is accelerating as freshwater resources decline across the US
- Lack of awareness of invisible water leaks means developers aren’t controlling a rapidly increasing operational cost
Clear visibility gives you control
- ION provides clear visibility into unit level water use across properties and portfolios
- ION’s water consumption analysis uses 2,000 data points per gallon ensuring accurate, reliable unit and fixture-level insights
- Benchmarking dashboard and KPIs let you track progress over time to achieve and maintain optimal water use levels and control costs
PRECISION
Go beyond basic detection and submetering.
Receive the most accurate and complete data to pinpoint what is leaking and where leaks are happening.
Detailed unit level insights
- Daily leak reports highlight the top five leaks per property, ensuring maintenance teams know where to focus efforts efficiently, fixing the biggest leaks first
- Detailed reporting for each identified leak informs maintenance teams of leak type (toilet, fixture, water heater, other), how long it has been leaking and number of gallons lost
- A complete timeline of unit-level insights delivers clear understanding of long-term water performance
Real-time data
- Data is collected and analyzed 24/7 ensuring the data driving insights and action is always up to date
- When it comes to invisible leaks, timing is important. Visibility into water use by the hour, day, week, and last 30 days, ensures actions and decisions are on target.
- Device health reports show where meters, routers or gateways are down, helping maintenance teams prioritize attention to device issues to quickly restore real time data flow and full water use visibility
The most precise data possible
- Data 20,000 times more granular than typical billing meter data ensures full and accurate understanding of water use at the unit, property and portfolio levels
DECISION
Complete insights. Fast fixes. Maximum savings.
Alert team members and generate work orders to repair and stop leaks.
Seamless integration
- Direct integration with Yardi and RealPage allows automated work orders to alert maintenance teams as necessary, fitting efficient water management easily into existing daily routines
Comprehensive water management
- An all-in-one dashboard helps asset or portfolio management teams track results while providing clear, holistic understanding of water consumption at every property, across an entire portfolio
Customizable dashboards
- Whether you’re a site or asset manager or have responsibility for an entire portfolio, customizable dashboards let you tailor your view to the most relevant data for faster, smarter decisions
