Our prepaid water metering systems are suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial environments. In residential buildings, prepaid systems simplify billing and empower tenants to manage their own water usage. For commercial and public facilities, they enhance accountability and reduce administrative costs. Industrial users benefit from accurate consumption tracking and efficient water allocation.
Apartment and housing estate billing
Commercial buildings and shopping centers
Schools, hospitals, and dormitories
Municipal and industrial water supply systems
These systems can also form part of an integrated prepaid water metering solution for apartments and smart city projects.
Selecting the right meter depends on flow rate, communication mode, and installation environment. For projects requiring data connectivity, a smart prepaid water meter with NB-IoT or LoRa compatibility is ideal. For smaller-scale or offline applications, RF Card/IC Card models are practical and cost-effective.
| Selection Factor | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Flow Rate | Select meter size based on building water demand |
| Communication Mode | Choose NB-IoT or LoRa for remote monitoring |
| Installation Environment | Use indoor or outdoor models depending on conditions |
