Watts Water Technologies announced the merger of two of their flagship digital brands, Nexa and The Detection Group. 

Nexa, Watts’ smart water management platform, will combine with The Detection Group’s wireless leak detection technology. This merger aims to create a comprehensive solution for Intelligent Water Management across commercial buildings.

David Benaiges, VP of Watts Digital, said, “Nexa and The Detection Group each bring years of innovation to the table. Together, they reflect Watts’ commitment to building a safer, more sustainable water future, all while giving our customers unprecedented visibility and control over their unique water systems.”

With the intelligent water management Nexa provides, building owners, engineers, and operators can:

  • Protect people and assets from the costly impacts of water damage through real-time leak monitoring, alerting, and full shut off capabilities.
  • Manage building systems through one powerful, cloud-based dashboard, leveraging sensing technology that both integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure, and lives within select Works with Nexa equipment.
  • Save water, energy, time, and labor with water usage tracking, remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance and actionable reporting.

“This is more than a product integration, it’s a unification of vision,” said Matt Barth, president of The Detection Group. “By joining forces with Nexa, we’re delivering a smarter, more responsive system that allows our customers to be more thoroughly protected than ever from the costly impacts of water damage.”

This union further positions Watts at the forefront of sustainable building innovation. It also supports the evolving needs of customers; they are increasingly seeking smarter, more connected solutions.
