Accurate water measurement is the means by which water utilities produce revenue to

cover expenses, charge consumers equitably, prevent waste of water, and

minimize wastewater loads

Compared to un-metered systems, consumption is reduced 20% to 50%

Eliminates waste and lowers operating costs

Metering provides “fair share” cost to consumers

Accurately measures water usage

Less than 1% of all the water on Earth is freshwater available for human consumption (waterinfo.org)

420 RDMFully Integrated Remote Disconnect Meter (RDM)

Enables municipalities remotely manage water services from the office through advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) or from the safety of their vehicles

420 RDMBenefits

Improved customer service

Improve employee safety & reduce operational costs

Reduce carbon footprint

Customers will not have to wait for service crews to arrive to turn on their water

Enables municipalities to manage services without dispatching service crews. Municipalities can also manage services safely from vehicles

Remote management of water services saves fuel

420 RDM

A diaphragm design valve that opens/closes using water pressure for low friction loss and low energy use

User friendly design for simple service and in-line maintenance

Engineered materials that provide chemical resistance for long life

Excellent regulation performance under low/high flow conditions

Integrated nutating disk PD meter for extreme low-flow accuracy

420 RDM provides optimum performance and efficiency over an expected 20-year life cycle with features that include:

Meter type is important when

considering low-flow accuracy in which

performance varies

If Salt Lake City changed from Piston

meters to Disk meters the result would be

an increase of 239 mil gal or $430,000

Vertical Turbine: Replaces Applications for Positive Displacement Compound Turbine

Horizontal turbine meters need straight pipe to provide the necessary water pattern for accurate measurement.

The MVR creates it’s own water pattern by turning the water inside the meter.

Because of this, the MVR does not require straight pipe before the meter!

No Straight Pipe Needed!
