Eddy vs Halo Protection Systems
Eddy vs Halo: which leak detection system is right for your building?
Halo is a capable building-wide platform: wireless sensors with long battery life, electric shutoff valves and a role-based dashboard. The difference is how the event is worked. Eddy operators confirm each alert and coordinate shutoff per the building runbook, then close it with carrier-ready documentation, across construction and operations.
Why choose Eddy over Halo
Halo covers the building well. Eddy adds active water-incident response and the lifecycle around it.
Operators who work the event, not just alert on it
Halo provides a dashboard, real-time alerts and 24/7 support. Eddy operators confirm the event, coordinate shutoff per the building runbook and stay on the line until the property team responds. Active water-incident response is the layer that contains the loss.
Carrier-ready documentation
Every confirmed Eddy event closes with a Leak Incident Report formatted for carriers, behind documented premium savings of up to 20% and deductible reductions of up to $150K.
One program from construction into operations
Eddy plans against the MEP drawings during fit-out and carries the same hardware and monitoring into occupancy, so the riskiest phase is covered.
Two ways to find water
Eddy pairs point sensors with inline flow metering on the mains and risers, so a slow drip and a burst riser are both caught.
Eddy vs Halo: feature by feature
Both protect the whole building. Here is how the two compare on response, detection, reporting and coverage.
Monitoring and response
Eddy
In-house monitoring center staffed 24/7 by operators trained on water incidents who confirm the event and coordinate shutoff per the building runbook.
Halo Protection Systems
Real-time alerts, remote valve control and 24/7 monitoring and support through the platform. Whether support is active event-response varies by plan.
Why it matters: An operator who coordinates the response is different from an alert and a support line. The first contains the loss.
Sensor battery life
Eddy
Primary lithium sensors rated for 7+ years, typically over 10 in service.
Halo Protection Systems
Wireless moisture sensors rated for a 10-year battery life.
Why it matters: Both scale without an annual battery program. Halo's stated battery life is a genuine strength.
Detection methods
Eddy
Eddy H2O 3-in-1 sensors plus inline flow metering on the mains and risers.
Halo Protection Systems
Multi-detection capacitive moisture sensors, plus humidity, temperature and HVAC sensing.
Why it matters: Point sensors catch a drip. Flow intelligence catches an abnormal run or a burst riser. Carrying both matters.
Automatic shutoff
Eddy
Eddy IQ on smaller lines and Eddy Link driving valves up to 18 inches on larger lines, on Eddy's own or existing valves.
Halo Protection Systems
Electric shutoff valves with remote control from the platform.
Why it matters: Both stop the water. Eddy reads and drives existing meters and valves, so a retrofit builds on what is in place.
Platform and visibility
Eddy
One dashboard rolls up devices, incidents and outcomes, with role-based access and audit trails.
Halo Protection Systems
Role-based dashboard with remote valve control, audit trails and continuous health monitoring.
Why it matters: Both offer strong platform visibility. This is a point of agreement.
Insurance reporting
Eddy
Leak Incident Reports formatted for carriers, plus portfolio summaries and documented renewal outcomes.
Halo Protection Systems
Notification and audit records through the platform. Carrier-formatted incident reporting is not publicly detailed.
Why it matters: Renewals turn on a documented, source-level response chain a carrier can underwrite against.
Construction-to-operations coverage
Eddy
Same hardware and monitoring from fit-out through occupancy, with no second install at handover.
Halo Protection Systems
Positioned for building-wide operational protection.
Why it matters: The leaks that hit hardest happen during construction, before the building is occupied.
