WM-3000 and WM-3100 Series of ultrasonic water meters offer ease and versatility as they do not require any pipe modification for installation. The meter simply clamps around the outside of the pipe and can monitor almost any type of liquid. The meters integrate seamlessly with H2O Degree’s wireless submetering and leak detection systems.
The devices can be mounted onto a pipe, even while it is in use—with just a Phillips screwdriver—ensuring that there is no downtime for whatever equipment it is being installed on. The WM-3000 fits resin or metal pipes from 1/4 to 2-in. in diameter, while the WM-3100 fits pipes sized between 1-1/2 to 8-in. in diameter.
The ease of installation and versatility makes these meters ideal for monitoring applications where it is difficult to shut off the water such as “Shadow Metering” to monitor the existing utility master meter for whole building usage, plumbing risers, and large diameter pipes. In addition, the meters can be used for temporary metering applications and moved from site to site. Besides water, these ultrasonic water meters can accurately detect virtually any other type of liquid, including deionized water, chemicals, oils, and consumer products due to the fact that the device does not come into contact with the liquid being measured. This also means that the liquid will not be contaminated in any way.
Once installed, the WM-3000 and WM-3100 are easy to set up and start using right away. They provide live flow monitoring, with either actual or relative flow, which can be viewed directly from the device’s display. The devices also integrate with H2O Degree’s wireless submetering and leak detection systems, allowing users to track and monitor flow over time and to be alerted to any leaks.
