A constant monitoring of consumption and latest state of metering technology is an investment, which grants the possibility for optimization of water and heat networks.

Alongside with the possibility of immediate leakage-detection, such an investment on long-term leads to less water waste and lower costs.

“If the return temperature can be lowered by just one or two degree, the customers will have a saving of several euros a year” The new installed ultrasonic water and heat meters are more accurate than “old” mechanical meters and additionally real meter index can be read remotely. Directly from the headquarter the intervals of reading can be changed remotely from 5 minutes reading, up to hourly or daily readings of the specific meters. With smaller reading intervals the network can be monitored easily.

If there is a problem (leakage, pipe burst, etc) within the water or heat network the reading intervals will be set to 5 minutes reading intervals and due to that fact, the location of leakage can be found easily.

“With VERICOM – radio smart metering solution, not only 280 meters are read automatically and remotely, but we do have more time for more customer-oriented activities, because we do not have to read meters manually or by sending letters and by evaluating these letters or by lengthy searching of locations of possible pipe bursts” states the metering department, that delighted with the investment in new ultrasonic meters combined with VERICOM wireless metering solutions.
