Water Distribution Modeling Software
Water Distribution Modeling Software
(OP)
My office is interested in purchasing software to run a water distribution analysis... I am trying to research and do comparisons on the ones I've found so far - KYPIPE Pipe2008, WaterGEMS or WaterCAD from Haestad, and the free EpaNET... Are there any others I should consider? Does anyone have any recommendations? We will not be using this software very often.

And, why would you want to?

I have built models with thousands of pipes and used a majority of the features. True the purchased products have fancy gizmo's to make data entry easy, automated fire flow calculation. EPAnet has a similar systems but require a little more thought.
Just the other day, I was working with a small system, and in less than a hour I assembled a model with 30 pipes, time functions and fire flow calculation. I do not see how spending thousands of dollars can pay for itself.
