Technical
Brief
DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS: For use in measurement of cold water in reclaimed
water distribution systems. Meters are available for residential, commercial
and industrial services where flow is in one direction only.
The meter and its internal components are for use in the measurement
of non-potable water only. Caution must be exercised not to mingle
non-potable and potable water meters and especially their internal
components.
UTILITY IMPACTS: Utilities faced with rising water costs and limited
water resources are developing non-potable, reclaimed water distribution
systems. Accurate, dependable metering is needed to bill customers for
these alternate supplies.
Special coloring and markings are designed to distinguish potable water
meters from reclaimed water meters in accordance with current industry
standards. The utility must develop appropriate operational procedures
to ensure that potable water meters and reclaimed water meters and
their internal components are not mingled.
WARRANTY: Due to the lack of a uniform definition of the composition of
reclaimed water, the warranties associated with reclaimed water meters
are different than the potable water Recordall® meter line. Please review
the warranty statement for this important difference.
