Given the remarkable specifications of an ultrasonic meter vs its mechanical counterparts that you have shown in the video, why is the adoption of mechanical meters still so dominant these days? One commonly cited reason is cost BUT from this video shown, it seems to suggest the cost of a static meter (ultrasonic in this case) is say 1.5x the cost of a mechanical meter. So is this 1.5x or maybe 2x cost the main 'hold back' factor for water utilities in adopting ultrasonic meters? A further add-on question would be: Are there other types of costs involved in the whole meter installation and usage, that could potentially be stopping water utilities from rapidly increasing their adoption of ultrasonic meters? Are ultrasonic meters more costly to install (or has this cost been factored into the 1.5x that was stated in the video)? Great video and explanation, appreciate it!

Very insightful and concise video! On the second way of purchasing a fixed network, could you please elaborate a little further on the Network-as-a-Service part? EDITED the below 1. If I, the water utility, gets into a NaaS contract with the manufacturer (I presume this is Badger?), I do not have to worry about building and maintaining this fixed network. This will come with a monthly NaaS subscription fee, is that correct? 2. If my part 1 above is correct, I saw there is a BEACON SaaS offering. If I were to subscribe to BEACON, does that mean I have to pay a NaaS and BEACON SaaS subscription fee? Do let me know if any parts above on my understanding is wrong, thank you!

Thanks 🙏

How do you read the high flow register that has three painted on zeros? Are those considered the ones, tenths and hundreds?

Digital meter is more security, not yet

I know a company that uses IOT technology that can measure under the accuracy curve of mechanical meters (measure under the very low flows), and also help water utilities recover lost revenue by using analysis and their equipment to find faults in mechanical meters. They have recouped a ton of revenue for a lot of different cities.

wow that brings back some memories . 39 yrs mtr. tech . retired . I changed out I don't know how many 3,4 & 6 inch hersey compound meters & also field tested the same .

your product sucks

In positive displacement meters, exactly what volume of the chamber is being displaced? I reckon this volume is constant at any flow rate because, say for the nutating disc meter it still sends magnetic signals to the register can, am I correct? I have a lot of questions, I hope we can connect.

Very informative, makes it easier to explain to builders the options

I must be nuts to read this? I always need to know the details. It is impressive what products they make!!

The model 25 disc meter can be installed in vertical position?

Can this be installed in vertical position?

Awesome!

Display no longer working. Will the unit still be accurate

What best for apartment deduct meter

Hello, I have an Ultrasonics TFX Ultra, and my totalizer don´t move in a long time, it have a lag in totalizer, i have a flow prom. 800 ltr/s, but totalizer only incremement 83 ltr in a hour. What ccan be the fail? TK for the help

I pray that you are still reading the comments on here. We need some help and some advice. In the village where w live they are trying to force Smart Water meters on us. They don't have a clue what they are. The town guy told us that we could have the radio reader put on a pole outside of our home and connect it with a wire underground. When i asked him where the meter would be he said, in your crawl space under your house. Am I crazy or would this not protect us at all because the meter would still be under our feet and transmitting to the reader? It is an AMI iPERL by Sensus. I hope to get a response soon as they are going to switch our water of end of March. thanks for any light you can shed on this.

it is good

Hi is there a device you can add to an existing water meter that you can then use in conjunction with a tracking/reading app?

EXCELLENT VIDEO THANK YOU FOR SHARING ,

I have a question in regards to replacement rates? How does ultrasonic replacement rate compare to mechanical ultrasonic meters? what % over the past 4 years of replacement have been ulstrasonic. what % of the base is ultrasonic?

We have 127 houses on our water cooperative and are considering smart meters and the "Eye on Water" system. Who should we talk to at Badger to get started?

Is it free software?

what do you think of pilot diaphragm valves for water utility use?

How can these new systems help with water leaks? How big would a leak need to be before the system would see it? And can this system see a leak if it is before the meter?

I am interested

I saw a video, in which the tech used a blow drier to operate an electronic meter. How come? Does this mean that when the pipes are empty (no water) that air pressure will cause the meter to show water was consumed?

Morrice- Great video! Isn't another difference between mechanical and elecronic meters is that the air that travels through the pipe will be measured along with water by a mechanical meter, since it picks up volume and doesnt know to differientiate between the volume of air and water, while the electronic meter only registers the flow of water since it only measures the velocity of flow? what do you think? Am I wrong?

A very excellent presentation. I have a question: Since it appears that total flow is registered at the turbine meter, is the disc meter only used for monitoring that percentage of the total flow through the disc meter, or is it necessary to read both meters to determine total flow?

Hi Maurice, how can we get in touch with you? Iv tried connecting on LinkedIn but still waiting for response

30 unit condo, 4 stories high, will a 2" meter do the job, we have 3" now with 3" lines into the buildings.

What powers the meters?

Can a clamp on ultrasonic meter can be used as your master meter if you have a 6 inch ductile iron water main? And if so what model would be recommended?

Earthquake preparedness!

Wouldn't want my water running thru plastic. Is the water only flowing thru stainless steel? Not clear in this video

Yes, cellular-based systems are suitable for small water utilites.

You did not take into account the cost of gasoline and depreciation of vehicles for AMR version Cellular-based fixed network system will provide an opportunity to remotely study the behavior of specific metering devices in order to find out the abnormality of their behavior. It's all about saving human resources, as well as the speed of decisions made based on the data received

What is a fire rated meter?

Hello, do you work at all with residential sub-metering? I would love to get some of your thoughts.

Por favor podrían facilitar el manual de calibración del equipo q sea en español por yo soy de Perú

Yes

Hello, i want ask how is measured the voltage? I particularly understand that positive particles are sent to one electrode and negative particles are sent do another electrode, so electrons are sent to one conductor and to the another conductor is sent what? I don't understand what determines that one electrode is anode and another electrode is cathode.

any measuring tools to calculate and track the water loss in the system? and how it will work? and how to set it up?
