What are the advantages of smart water meters?

Types of smart water meters

Intelligence can be divided into two categories: prepaid water meters and remote water meters. The common feature is that the sensor for measuring water flow is still an ordinary water meter. The mechanical readings are converted into electrical signal data, and then collected, transmitted and stored, and controlled automatically or manually according to the requirements of the settlement transaction method.

Advantages of smart water meters

Prepaid water meter: The technology is mature and has the characteristics of prepayment, which realizes "buy water first, then use water", does not require meter reading, will not cause arrears, and reduce the manpower and material resources of water supply companies for meter reading and operation personnel in the later stage ; The anti-theft performance is better than that of ordinary water meters; it can realize the functions of "ladder water price" and "hoarding water volume".

Wireless remote water meter: realizes centralized meter reading management, greatly reduces the labor intensity of meter reading personnel, and reduces the manpower and material resources of meter reading work; compared with prepaid water meters, it has better reliability and anti-interference; network The application of technology realizes online monitoring; it has a wide range of applications, not only for small-diameter (DN15~25) water users, but also for remote meter reading management for water users (DN50~300).
