A smart water meter works in the same way as a traditional water meter in that it monitors the flow of water into your business or building. However smart water meters have many advantages including real time data, wireless technology, smart water analytics, actionable insights and eliminates manual readings.
The mechanical types of water flow meters work by measuring the speed of water flowing through the pipe that causes a piston or turbine to rotate. The volumetric flow rate of the water is proportional to the rotational speed of the blades.
