What are the principles and advantages of smart water meters?

At present, smart water meters can be divided into two categories: prepaid water meters and remote water meters. The common feature is that the sensor for measuring the water flow still uses an ordinary water meter. The mechanical reading of the original water meter is converted into electrical signal data by installing a sensing element on the reading disc pointer of the water meter or a certain position of the gear group. Then collect, transmit and store, and control automatically or manually according to the requirements of the settlement transaction method.

Advantages: The technology is mature, and it can have the characteristics of prepayment, which realizes "buy water first, then use water". There is no need for meter reading, which will not cause arrears and reduce the cost of meter reading for water supply companies. 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".

It can realize centralized meter reading management, and the application of network technology realizes online monitoring. Wide range of applications.
