The product range is ideally suited to the traditional problems associated with the peaks and troughs of bulk metering applications – in hospitals and hotels, for example, where water demand escalates dramatically during early morning and declines later in the day. In almost all cases, thanks to its unique ‘in line’ design and advanced three-in-one measuring cartridge, the MeiTwin can be fitted with ease by a single installer. The Sensus MeiTwin is a compound bulk water meter featuring a wide dynamic flow range.
#SENSUS 3 COMPOUND METER TRIAL#
The Wessex Water trial will run for a year to prove the effectiveness of the new bulk meter strategy. It provides Wessex Water with the ability to record water consumption with much greater accuracy, so ensuring that billing more fairly reflects usage.” Moreover, unaccounted-for water means a loss of revenue.”Īdam Parsonage, Regional Sales Engineer for Sensus comments: “The MeiTwin range measures the widest flow rates of any bulk meter in the UK. This unmeasured water loss contributes to our leakage figures, which are monitored by the government.
“Previously installed meters were only able to measure high flow, leaving the low flow unmeasured. “Due to the large variation in the volume of water used in these types of establishments day and night, we needed a meter that could measure both high and low flow,” said Smith. The meters include a main meter to measure high flow-rates and a bypass meter to record consumption during periods of lower demand – and to identify leakage issues. Mike Smith, Network Planning Engineer at Wessex Water, decided to use the Sensus 50 mm meters as part of a trial in schools, hospitals and hotels. Sensus Metering Systems, which already supplies its WP Dynamic turbine bulk water meter for the measurement of high, relatively constant flow-rates, anticipates that the MeiTwin compound meter will overcome measurement issues connected with low flow-rates. utility Wessex Water has installed 50 MeiTwin water meters into public buildings with wide water demand fluctuations as part of a trial aimed at reducing leakage and unaccounted for water.
