Absolute Gadget: Leaky pipes not only lose water but can make you run up huge bills too, but now engineers at Thames Water have invented a new gadget that could detect those leaks and slash bills. The device, called ‘Leakfrog’ detects the amount of water escaping from your pipes – which accounts for around a quarter of all water lost in leaks.
When attached to a water meter overnight on a property, the Leakfrog shows if any water is being lost. This lets customers know if they need to get the leaks fixed and will reduce subsequent water bills.
