Smart Metering

"Thank goodness for the Smart Water Meter.
We picked up 2  water leaks (Mains water) and taps left on."

No longer content with just monitoring water use WaterGroup has made Smart Meters smarter.  Our focus has been to turn data into actionable information.  Information that you can use to save money and water.

Because we understand water use inside out we know how data needs to be presented, how you need to analyse it retrieve it and store it.

We have just made Smart Meters smarter.

We offer temporary and permanent smart meters for:

Water (potable, rainwater, recycled water, sewage and more); tank levels, electricity, solar and gas.

Permanent Monitoring Solutions

Unearth your hidden water usages and monitor your office and warehouse water consumption.

With our award winning smart metering solutions, we can help you monitor and actively manage your water consumption. Our services include:

  • Graphical, web-based interface
  • Customisable for one or many meters
  • Automatic alarming for abnormal consumptions - catching leaks for you!
  • Automatic meter reading and data uploading

We have a range of long term loggers such as the Mini-SIM logger and Network logger models: 

Our Mini-SIM Logger

The data logger is a rugged 1 or 2-channel data logger, with internal lithium batteries with 4+ year life.  The logger connects to any pulse enabled meter (water, gas or electrical) and uploads data directly via GPRS to a customised website.

The logger itself is IP68 rated measuring 11cm in length, 5.5cm in diameter and 4cm in thickness.  It fits in our tidy vandal protection box for a swift and clean installation.  It can be mounted directly on the meter, bracketed to a wall or even buried making it truly vandal proof.

Our Network SIM Logger

For sites with dozens or even hundreds of smart meters we can now offer a version of our SIM logger that is customised for that situation. The benefit for you is a lower monitoring cost per point, streamlined installation and website access resulting in a significantly reduced total cost of ownership, especially when compared to systems that need to provide their own local mesh network.

It is also ideally suited for larger sites. It makes submetering individual large users even more attractive and cost-effective. Examples include monitoring water use for cooling towers, irrigation, toilet blocks, food areas, swimming pools, wash down areas, etc.

Short-term Monitoring

Mini Loggers for Temporary Smart Metering

We have mini-loggers available for hire with no upfront capital costs.  The smart, cost-effective and simple way to monitor water use!

In response to frequent demand for short-term data logging of water consumption, WaterGroup has developed its own innovative solution - the Mini logger.
