Once completed, it will assist the utility to monitor their primary and secondary networks and reduce system losses. Knowledge-based decisions will permit |
without interrupting normal water supply. The rugged construction of its ‘Hot Tap’ feature and ‘Fit and Flow’ design, offers easy installation in existing pipelines, without taking the water networks offline – a distinct advantage over traditional in-line flow meters. The AquaProbe is compatible with a battery-operated Aquamaster, offering flexibility such as five-year battery life, environmentally friendly wind/solar powered options and features like on board data loggers and data accessed via GSM networks. This pathbreaking order opens a window of opportunity in the emerging water infrastructure segment and promises well for the future of measurement products. | ![]() |
