Schonstedt 10/RD510-RX Offers

Water leakage is a major global challenge. Water pipe leaks lead to substantial water loss, increased operational costs, and undermine efforts to ensure sustainable water management and supply.

While plastic pipes offer a safe, strong, and flexible alternative to traditional materials, their non-metallic nature poses a challenge for locating them underground. This can complicate maintenance, repair, and replacement efforts, further impacting water infrastructure efficiency.

The RD510 Water Pipe Locator & Leak Detector, offered in collaboration with Radiodetection, is designed for maintenance and repair work, helping you pinpoint leaks with precision at depths of up to 16' (5 m). This advanced, hand-held solution features an acoustic sensor and control unit that work together to isolate and amplify leak sounds, ensuring accurate and efficient leak detection.

Simple 3-Step Locating Process

1. Connect:

Tether the RD510 Pulsed Water Transmitter (PWT) to a fire hydrant, meter base or external tap.

2. Inject:

Send a traceable sound into the target pipe using the PWT.

3. Detect:

The RD510 display unit and ground acoustic sensor accurately detect and identify the pipe’s location up to 148' (45 m) away.
