Aqua Clip
The pragmatic sensor for the retrofit case. Clamps onto the pipe, measures via temperature difference — and works even where ultrasound reaches its limits.
Also known as: Leak sensor · Thermal clamp · Non-invasive pipe sensor · Retrofit leak sensor · Water leak clamp
The Aqua Clip exploits a simple physical fact: flowing water carries heat — when the water stands still, pipe sections settle to similar temperatures. From two temperature points on the pipe, the flow can be inferred. Works on any pipe material, including composite and plastic pipes where ultrasound reaches its limits.
Installation is the simplest in the kit: clamp on the pipe, connect the cable, done. No pipe cuts, no critical alignment, no plumbing knowledge required. Aqua Clip works especially well as an add-on at hard-to-reach spots, or as an affordable starting point for a growing system.

Installation
The Aqua Clip mounts onto the pipe in one of two ways: a hinged quick-mount clamp that requires no tools and can be repositioned at any time — or the included cable-tie mount for a permanent, tamper-proof installation.
Ideal placement is on the main line, about 20–40 cm from the water entry point. The integrated ambient temperature sensor should be facing into the room, not toward the wall.
Aqua Clip fits pipes with an outer diameter of 15–32 mm — for every common material: copper, steel, PEX, PE and others.
Where Aqua Clip shines — and where it doesn't
The thermal-difference method delivers a reliable yes/no answer on whether water is flowing — but only limited insight into how much. For precise consumption data, the Sonic Clamp is the better fit; for microleakages, the Monitor / Monitor Plus. Aqua Clip shines where the others can't reach — or where price and simplicity matter more than deep detail.
