F.A.S.T at CFT: measuring technology for water loss, leak detection and gas tracing
Water loss is first of all a measuring question: how much is lost, in which section, and where exactly does it escape? F.A.S.T builds the measuring chain for this – from the inflow meter through listening devices and correlators to hydrogen tracer gas for the cases where there is nothing left to hear. This chain stands in our sales programme – link by link.

Official dealer for Germany
The contract partner for German customers is CFT Group Deutschland GmbH in Erding: advice before the purchase, introduction after delivery, orders run through the group shop SEMPERDEAL.
The F.A.S.T range
Inflow and flow measurement for the balance, acoustic prelocation and pinpointing for the search, correlators and pipe microphones for narrowing down, hydrogen as tracer gas for silent leaks, plus pressure measurement and tools for network work. For waterworks and installation companies we put together the chain that fits the network size.
What these instruments are used for
F.A.S.T builds measuring equipment that narrows down water losses and locates leaks. With this technology the selection decides the outcome: a correlator helps little while the balance is still missing, and a listening device, however fine, stays silent where only tracer gas leads further. We carry the whole chain; advice runs in sequence, not by catalogue page: first the zone, then the section, then the spot. If the smaller kit is enough for your network, we say so beforehand.
Introduction and training
Every electrical instrument bought from us comes with an introduction. For listening technology and correlation that goes double: the ear learns at the instrument, not from the manual.
Service, repair and calibration
We do not hold a manufacturer’s repair authorisation for F.A.S.T. Without one we do not open an instrument – not even one you bought from us. Call us: we will tell you where it belongs and handle the arrangements with the manufacturer.
Frequently asked questions
Where does a waterworks with high losses best begin?
With the balance: inflow measurement per zone shows WHERE the network loses, before anyone listens anywhere. Then follow prelocation in the section and pinpointing at the spot – the measuring chain mirrors exactly this sequence.
When is hydrogen needed as tracer gas?
When acoustics have nothing left to offer: small leaks, plastic pipes, deep positions. The gas mixture is fed in and picked up at the surface with the detector – quiet leaks are found after all.
Does CFT also sell to private home owners?
No – the measuring chain is aimed at companies and utilities. Listening technology and correlation take practice; their value grows with recurring use in a network. For the single water problem in a house, a purchase rarely pays.
