Small Leaks, Big Savings: How the Logix One Toilet Sensor Cuts Utility Costs and OPEX

When it comes to operating expenses (OPEX), water waste often flies under the radar—until it’s too late. In multifamily and hospitality properties, a single leaking toilet can waste hundreds, even thousands, of gallons per day. Multiply that across dozens of units, and the cost can quietly drain your bottom line.

MeterLogix built the Logix One Toilet Leak Sensor to stop that.

The Problem Is Bigger Than You Think

According to the EPA, 1 in 10 toilets is leaking—usually due to flapper seal issues, stuck valves, or broken chains. In student housing, affordable housing, or senior living properties, that number is often much higher.

What does that mean in real dollars?

One leaking toilet can cost a property $100–$200/month in wasted water. Across just 10 units, that’s $12,000–$24,000 a year in avoidable OPEX. Across 100 units, that can amount to upwards of $200,000/year or more in wasted NOI.

The Logix One Solution

MeterLogix partnered with NextCentury to bring cutting-edge leak detection to the buildings that need it most. The Logix One Toilet Leak Sensor was purpose-built for high-turnover, high-usage environments where waste is a hidden cost.

What makes it different:

• ✅ Detects all three major causes of toilet leaks—not just one
• ✅ Real-time monitoring and smart alerts for unusual consumption
• ✅ Easy installation with a 10-year battery
• ✅ Full dashboard access and reporting tools
• ✅ Seamless integration with MeterLogix sub-metering systems

“We were blown away by how much we saved on water costs after trying the system. It made such a significant impact that we’ve already ordered it for six more properties.”
— Alexis Taylor, Operations Manager, UPholdings LLC

The Results: Real ROI

In a recent case study, MeterLogix and NextCentury installed 96 sensors in a senior living community. Within weeks, they detected and resolved over 35 leaks, saving:

• 💧 329,000+ gallons of water monthly
• 💵 Up to 43% on monthly water bills
• 🔁 ROI in just 3.5 months

This isn’t just about saving money. It’s about avoiding tenant frustration, eliminating manual inspections, and building sustainability into your operations.

Introducing the System Sustainability Agreement (SSA)

Beyond the hardware, MeterLogix offers a first-of-its-kind SSA—a System Sustainability Agreement that guarantees performance:

• Covers equipment replacement and service labor
• Maintains system performance over 90%
• Increases billable capture rates
• All guaranteed in writing

Whether you self-bill or rely on third-party billing, the SSA adds peace of mind and long-term cost protection.
