SmartFlow™ Water Meters

A maintenance free, no moving parts, water meter. SmartFlow™ water meters use unique ultrasonic technology to deliver unrivalled accuracy and reliability.

The Real Cost of Water Metering

SmartFlow™ clearly illustrates excellent whole life cost benefits in comparison to mechanical meters, which can be as much as five times as expensive over 20 years. In fact, with a minimal cost for the meter and a relatively insignificant cost for a battery replacement, SmartFlow™ is totally justifiable, as it loses no revenue, and more importantly, becomes completely cost effective in a very short period of time.
