New smart meter can save water and measure water

[China Meter Network New Products] Water meter is an indispensable measuring instrument in every family. With the development of technology, water meter is no longer a single metering function. The emergence of smart meter has more functions. Israel Smart Meters has introduced a new smart water meter. It is reported that the smart water meter can not only help users avoid accidental over-use of water, but also avoid losses caused by water pipe rupture or leakage.

According to Lior Hertz of Aqua-Rimat, Israel’s smart water meter company, “Water may be the biggest cause of property damage. When a water pipe bursts inside or under the wall, the owner of the house cannot find it until the water penetrates from the wall or the floor. Out of this, until this time, the damage caused by the collapse of the pipeline may have reached thousands of dollars or even more."

“Our smart water meter has a special intelligent data system that can “listen” to understand the law of water usage. Once the water pipe in the wall breaks or leaks, it can be detected within a few hours, and then the water valve is automatically closed to inform the house. Lord, until the end of the repair. Of course, this water meter can also help users save water, and help users save money. Our system can detect what we call "watermarking."

The composition of the Flowless system is this: First, the water meter is fixed on the water pipe, and a small measuring instrument is placed next to it. The meter measures water flow in a variety of ways, including sensors for "listening" to the flow and performing predictive analysis.

Hertz said: "We can learn about the law of water consumption, for example, the water consumption of a household or the amount of toilet flushing in a workplace every day."

“We compare the information we obtain with the time of day, the number of people present at the time, and other data that can be used to supplement water consumption information. When the water consumption deviates from the normal law, we can monitor the discovery in real time, and the sensor can locate abnormal parts. Then, we will notify the owner or building manager through the application."

Hertz added that because the application is connected to the water meter, the owner or building manager can remotely close the water valve so that waste and loss can be avoided. The data can be uploaded via the sensor's built-in 3G or 4G cellular network.

In addition to avoiding waste, the system can generate tips for users to use water resources more efficiently and provide accurate water use information. For example, the user's bath water consumption can be compared with the average bathing water consumption of other users of the system. Hertz said: "Our algorithm is very smart, able to calculate the exact amount of water, and even give the location of the water, so we can completely grasp the water use of a small apartment, residential or office building."

Homeowners or water administrators can track water usage data by applying or logging on to private websites. The app will anonymously upload water usage data to Aqua-Rimat's database to create a comprehensive water profile for each type of user and water usage. Hertz said that there are other smart meters currently doing these things, but no one has done as much as Aqua-Rimat.

Aqua-Rimat, which just entered the market a year ago, claims to have a number of well-known users in Israel, including the Jewish National Foundation, the City of Raiana, several construction companies including Solel Boneh and Dana Sibus, and several others. Hundred home users. The company also launched a pilot project with Hewlett-Packard in Israel. Since the project was very successful, it has now expanded to other HP overseas subsidiaries.

From the ongoing negotiations between the company and several potential customers, Hertz saw the opportunity to expand abroad significantly next year.

Last year, Aqua-Rimat was recognized by the European Utility Week Conference. At the conference, Aqua-Rimat won the smart home and end-user participation innovation award with the Flowless smart meter system, and the system also won many other awards.

Perhaps one day, water companies or insurance companies will promote the system by offering discounts to users who install the Flowless system.

Hertz said: “We started a pilot project in a town in Israel and installed the Flowless system for 500 families in a community. This installation was carried out in the name of the local water company. So we may be treated as legal in the future. The water meter, but we prefer to develop in the private market. The owners are smart people who will understand our benefits."
