Water meters
More than meters for water distribution networks
Proper water meter management involves the use of advanced technologies to reduce waste, control consumption and use water in a more efficient and environmentally friendly way. In this way, it is possible to contribute to greater environmental sustainability, as well as to a reduction in costs and energy consumption.
The main difference between mechanical water meters and ultrasonic water meters is the technology used to detect water consumption. Mechanical meters consist of a rotating system that rotates according to the water flow rate, while ultrasonic water meters are equipped with smart sensors to accurately detect water consumption and send the data directly to various remote reading systems.
Mechanical water meters have the advantage of being cheap and simple to install and use, but they have some limitations in terms of accuracy in detecting water consumption. In addition, they do not allow real-time monitoring of consumption or a detailed view of consumption for different time slots or time periods.
Telemetric water meters, on the other hand, thanks to their ultrasonic technology, allow real-time monitoring of consumption and a detailed view of consumption according to different time slots or time periods. In addition, smart meters are able to measure very low flow rates and have warnings to detect a broken pipe, lack of consumption or a reverse flow and therefore possible leaks, which helps to avoid waste and reduce operating costs.
