Ultrasonic Water Metering Is More Accurate than Traditional Meters
Ultrasonic water meters use sound waves to measure water flow, while nutating disc meters, traditional meters, use a rotating disc to measure the flow.
- Ultrasonic water meters are less prone to wear and tear than nutting disc meters. Ultrasonic water meters do not have any moving parts that can wear down or break over time. As a result, ultrasonic water meters require less maintenance and can last longer than nutating disc meters.
- Nutating disc meters can have difficulty accurately measuring low flow rates, which can result in underestimating the amount of water used. Ultrasonic water meters, on the other hand, can accurately measure even meager flow rates, making them a better choice for situations where accuracy is critical and water conservation matters.
- Backflow refers to the reversal of water flow in a water distribution system, which can occur due to various reasons such as pressure changes, plumbing issues, or system malfunctions. Ultrasonic water meters can detect backflow by analyzing the flow patterns and velocity of the water.
**It's important to note that the accuracy of any water meter, whether it's an ultrasonic meter or a nutating disc meter, can be affected by various factors, including changes in water pressure, temperature, and the presence of debris or air in the water. So, it's always important to consider the specific needs of your property and consult with a professional, like Kaptech Water Submetering, before making a decision.
Why is Water Submetering a Great Investment?
The average savings from water submetering depend on several factors, including the size of the property, the efficiency of the plumbing fixtures, the water usage habits of the tenants, and the local water rates. However, studies have shown that water submetering can result in significant savings for landlords and property owners.
According to the National Apartment Association, the average water savings after implementing water submetering are between 15% and 30%. Other studies have shown even higher savings, with some properties reporting water savings of up to 41%.
In addition to direct savings on water costs, landlords also experience indirect savings from reduced maintenance and repair costs associated with plumbing and water damage.
