The ADS Hykron is a simple-to-use leak
listening system with high acoustic
sensitivity. It is the ideal tool for a water
crew’s standard tool chest.
Leak noise
travels through the water and the pipe
wall. It can be detected by listening at
valves, hydrants, or any available fitting
on the pipe. The Hykron detects the
leak noise through its high sensitivity
sensor. Listening is conducted via the
headphones with an extension rod and
magnetic attachment.
