What it does

Everything here works today, in a browser, free, with no account.

This list is long and detailed, but incomplete. Use your browser’s find (Ctrl+F, or ⌘F on a Mac) to search here for a feature you are interested in. If you only want to know whether the thing is any good, diving in saves time.

50 things it does.

Solver 3

Native solver for steady-state (single moment) simulation.
EPANET 2.3.5 solver for extended-period simulations, with a solver comparison display.
Auto-recalculate option.

Projects, files, and formats 13

Multiple open project tabs, saved in the browser or to an ".epp" file, with locking for office network collaboration.
Install for offline use.
Network import and export as EPANET .inp, plus network export to GeoJSON and DXF.
Update the open project from an EPANET .inp: elements with matching IDs take the file's values, new ones are added, nothing is deleted, and one undo reverses it.
Tables export to ODS, XLSX, and CSV; Shapes import from shapefile, GeoJSON, and DXF; surveyed points import as junctions; clipboard copy/paste.
Workspace file: save your box layout, panes, and display options, and import them on another screen or browser.
Many example projects, each loaded and solved in one click.
Libraries of patterns, curves, controls, rules, pipe types, and fittings, importable from another project file.
Screenshot tool with enhanced resolution and a markup pen.
World map canvas or your own backdrop.
XY to Lat/Lon conversion import wizard.
Conversion of a project copy to another coordinate system and other units, and new projects in a real EPSG projection.
Place name search, and elevations filled in from a digital elevation model.

Adding, editing, and displaying assets and results 14

Junction, reservoir, tank, pipe with vertex draw and edit mode, pump, valve, and annotation text.
Junction and pipe chain draw, with pipe split offered contextually when a junction lands on a pipe.
Draw reference Shapes (points, lines, and polygons), managed in a Shapes table.
Copy and paste properties between assets.
Customers: metered services with demand, service count, and pattern, each connected to the node or pipe that serves it.
Custom properties on any kind of asset, with your own labels and limits, overridable by a scenario, and flagged in place when a value breaks its limits.
Customizable node and link labels: prefixes, suffixes, separator, drop order, and automatic or manual placement.
Find, replace, and go to elements, including complex queries in your language.
Mass-edit assets by Find and replace, Select area, or spreadsheet Tables.
Network coloring: three to seven ranges, six ways of placing the breaks (or type your own), and 41 color ramps.
Multi-line annotation text with bold, rotation, and association to assets.
Independent size settings for text, symbol, and pipes.
Graphs: HGL profiles with path editing, time series, contour on the map, frequency distribution, and a flow balance of production against consumption.
Time series graphs at the foot of Properties and as bubbles on the map, including tank depth. A bubble’s display is set per scenario.

Extended-period simulations 7

Extended-period simulation with patterns for demands, reservoir head, and pump speed.
EPANET-style rule-based controls.
Pump, efficiency, head loss, and tank volume curves, kept in the Libraries box.
EPANET run report.
Color ranges constant through a simulation.
Water quality: age, share from a source, chemical decay, and multi-species water quality (EPANET-MSX).
Pump energy report: operating share, efficiency, power, energy used, and cost including a peak demand charge.

Analyses 3

Fire flow analysis: which junctions miss their fire flow, and which pull the rest of the system below its limits.
Criticality analysis, which removes each pipe, pump, and valve in turn and reports the effect.
Demand scaling, which finds the largest demand scale the system can carry.

Scenarios and alternatives 2

Scenarios with overrides marked on the map, Manage overrides, and a scenario comparison report.
Alternatives with an inheritance tree, overrides mergeable upward into the alternative above, Presentation and Calculation override categories, ready-made scenarios in every new project, a Basic mode, and many more management features.

Ease of use 6

Searchable user manual.
Every setting in one box, searchable by the words you would use.
Dockable boxes that auto-hide to an edge tab.
One Water menu holds everything about water modeling, assets included.
Editable, pasteable, spreadsheet-like asset tables.
Snap to objects, which enhances the value of DXF and shapefile Shapes import.
