Bluebot measures water flow using ultrasonic sensing technology. Instead of inserting parts into your pipe, Bluebot mounts externally and uses sound waves to measure how fast water is moving through the pipe.
How water flow is measured
Bluebot sends ultrasonic signals through the pipe and analyzes how those signals change as water flows. By measuring the difference in signal timing, Bluebot calculates:
Water flow rate
Total water usage over time
Because the sensor is external, there are no moving parts inside the pipe.
Accuracy you can trust
When installed and calibrated correctly, Bluebot provides highly accurate water usage measurements suitable for residential, commercial, and irrigation monitoring. Accuracy depends on:
Proper pipe size and material selection
Correct installation and sensor positioning
Completing setup steps such as scanning and zeroing when required
Smart, continuous monitoring
Bluebot continuously measures water flow
Data is transmitted to the cloud when connected
Readings appear in the app near real-time
Graphs and historical trends build over time
Designed for reliability
External, non-invasive installation
No internal pipe modifications
No wear from moving components
Built to operate reliably in a wide range of environments
