SANCHUAN apartment meters—mechanical and ultrasonic—offer accurate usage tracking and leak detection. Ultrasonic models include NB-IoT connectivity and valve control for remote management. Ideal for multi-unit residential use, they cut maintenance costs and reduce water loss while enhancing billing precision.
Apartment sub-metering ensures fair billing—tenants pay for actual usage rather than shared estimates—leading to 15–30% reduced water consumption and enhanced leak detection. It also boosts property value, lowers operating costs, and aids in regulatory compliance by promoting accountability and sustainability.
SANCHUAN offers both mechanical and ultrasonic meters with individual unit monitoring. Ultrasonic models provide high precision, no moving parts, optional NB IoT connectivity, and valve control. Mechanical types are durable and cost-effective. Both support pulse output and automated readings for tenant billing .
Installation requires retrofitting or initial plumbing setup; smart meters may need network gateways. Maintenance includes periodic accuracy checks. Data systems must handle billing, leak alerts, and reporting. Though upfront costs are moderate, ROI is often achieved within months due to water savings and operational efficiencies .
Choose mechanical models for cost-sensitive, no-network applications.
Opt for ultrasonic + NB-IoT to enable remote reads, leak alerts, and valve control.
Ensure size (DN15–DN20) fits your plumbing needs.
Check certifications (ISO/OIML/CE) for legal and trade compliance.
Consider scalability and integration with existing AMR/AMI/Billing platforms.
In apartments, a submeter (installed downstream of the main meter) measures each unit’s water usage independently. It tracks flow volume—mechanical meters via moving parts, ultrasonic via sound waves—and can transmit data automatically for tenant billing and leak detection
Water is measured in cubic meters (m³) or gallons. Submeters record total volume using mechanical registers or electronic displays. Smart meters often add pulse or wireless output for remote reading, enabling transparency and usage-based billing.
