Water meters have changed dramatically and now offer so much more than just a mechanical device to record water usage at the meter itself. Today’s smart meters are able to continually record the consumption of water in homes and businesses across the country and transmit it to the cloud.
Lower Cost of Operation
This information is readily available in real-time for authorized users. Municipal and utility managers can make informed decisions based on the data from each domestic water meter in India on their system. It is also possible to allow facilities managers to access consumption information to detect leaks, set tariffs, and even set fixed rates and slabs.
At the same time, the transmission of data is highly accurate and can be set to send every 24-hour period. As a result, there is no added costs of manual meter reading, which save money on both labor as well the time required to enter data and general billing. Instead, the complete system can be set up automatically, reducing the operating cost of each domestic water meter in India.
Durability
Many of the new designs in the domestic water meters in India are plastic. Plastic is durable, free from corrosion, and able to withstand hot water and cold water temperatures.
Depending on the specific model, the moving parts in these meters are very limited, typically just a propeller that makes contact with the water flowing through the meter. They can last for decades without any need for repairs or replacement, which is another cost-saving factor to consider.
