Residential Commercial Industrial Smart City Water

Metron-Farnier’s Spectrum Single-Jet Meter is the widest ranged, single-measuring element meter available. The operation of the single jet element allows the meter to be applied in the vast majority of potable cold water, small commercial applications. These meters are designed with a very high range, including low flow performance equaling or exceeded all other metering technologies. Coupled with the advanced innov8 registers, the Spectrum single-jets are the meter of choice for your revenue assurance and water loss programs.

All Spectrum Model-D meters are top-loading, chamber designs which allow for field maintenance and repairs.

Utilize Existing LTE Cellular Network

With cell phone driven water meters, a large geographical footprint of most rural water districts is impractical for traditional fixed networks, due to the amount of required infrastructure.
Piggy-backing on the existing long-reaching network bands is tailored for rural water systems

Improve Metering Accuracy and Increase Monthly Revenue

Metering technology that allows for equitable billing and the measurement of flow rates down to 1/100 GPM on residential sites. Typical water loss is cut by as much as 50% after deployment of ultra-low flow water meters

Lower Cost of Meter Reading

Smart water meters reduce costly monthly manual or drive-by AMR reading methodology
Eliminate call-in readings and the headaches associated with inaccurate or untimely readings
Increase accuracy of daily consumption data and on-time meter reading
Eliminate re-reads and move-in/move-out truck roll-outs

System Water Loss and Prevention

Cellular smart meter consumption data can be used daily, weekly or monthly to quickly and automatically show water loss percentage and total produced or provided water versus sold water through Waterscope
Simple setup and deployment of water loss zones to identify system loss within different areas of your district

Customer Service Enhancement

Provides clear and concise data and images of high water use to reduce and eliminate water use write-offs
Waterscope provides daily reports for excessive leaks and intermittent toilet leaks to allow for proactive interaction with your customers
Color coded Data log graphs provide insight into the identification of the type of leak

Billing System Integration

Application programming interface (API) for simple interface with current billing system, generally with no changes or extra costs
Option to create monthly billing systems

Meter Freeze Protection

Vault temperature is monitored and transmitted each day. If a lid is left off or the pit ring is disturbed, precautionary email alerts are sent out each morning.

One Minute Data Analytics – The Future of AMI

Metron continues to lead the industry in technology and is proud to introduce one-minute data intervals, being the first in the industry. With Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system, powered by one-minute industry leading, high resolution water usage analytics. There are many advantages including in-home water fixture use identification, detailed irrigation system usage breakdown by zone, and accurate peak flow rate reporting.

WaterScope is the world’s most powerful Water Meter Data Management System.It leverages the finest granularity in the AMI industry with sub 1 gallon data reported in 5 minute and now even optional 1 minute time buckets to allow analytics never before conceivable.

New breakthroughs with machine learning algorithms interpret the incoming data for the user down to a level of dissecting household water usage by fixture.

Best of all, the system utilizes the existing cellular network as its backbone, so the wonders of the WaterScope VN system are available to user of all sizes from the nation’s largest water utilities to even single home owners.

In Home Analytics

WaterScope evaluates the water used every minute bring true smart technology to each home. By evaluating different metrics of water use events like duration, peak flow rate, total volume, time of day, etc., WaterScope can identify the different ways water is used within the home. WaterScope then tracks the events by day, week and month to help the homeowner better manage their water use.

Pinpoint Water Loss

WaterScope takes advantage of the cell network’s very accurate time to precisely synchronize the consumption and interval data coming from all meters in the system. This allows WaterScope to compare system input meters at the treatment plant or district meters on the mains to all the billing meters downstream. The result is the coveted pinpoint daily water loss water managers have dreamed of since AMI was introduced. Thus providing utilities the ability to dial in infrastructure losses that need immediate attention, saving money on labor cost in field attempting to find where an infrastructure loss might have appeared.

Identifying True Commercial Peak Flow Rates

The AWWA Research Foundation has sponsored many studies over the decades to determine the amount of water used at different flow rates on different types of services. The problem has always been the variability between systems and individuals serving throughout the country. WaterScope uses its one-minute resolution to determine true peak flow rates every minute then displays the total volume used at all the different flow rates for every meter in the system.
