| In the past few years metering technology has made significant advancements in radio frequency transmitters that allow meters to be monitored remotely. This new Automated Meter Reading (AMR) equipment has rendered older manual-read, touch-pad and drive-by systems virtually obsolete for most applications. SageWater exhaustively researched current technologies, including:
• Field testing of AMR systems
• Interviewing users of each type of system tested
• Investigating maintenance and reliability records of each system
• Analyzing total long-term costs of each system
Our research and real-world experience allows SageWater to recommend products that represent the best technology available. And more importantly, SageWater offers these products, including professional installation, at the best prices in the marketplace. Our recommended system includes:
The Flexible Access Meter (FAM) by Master Meter
The FAM is the only meter that offers a 360-degree range of installation and choice of connection methods. This meter's design allows faster (and less expensive) installation, and it eliminates the need to relocate piping in situations where the meter must be installed in non-level orientations. The FAM exceeds American Water Works Association (AWWA) accuracy, operating, design and material standards.
Miltel High-Power AMR Technology by SpeedRead
SpeedRead's state-of-the-art, high-powered wireless technology offers 100% coverage of a property without the need for repeaters which are deployed in most other AMR systems. This reduces the cost of installation, reduces long-term maintenance costs and increases the reliability of the system. SpeedRead offers excellent data storage redundancy and a 10-year battery life. This system is virtually maintenance free. We have found no other system that offers comparable stability, range, reliability and value.
Warranty
In addition to the manufactures' warranties, SageWater provides a standard one-year limited warranty on all parts and labor. We also provide ongoing support and service in the form of extended warranties and service contracts that can be customized to meet your individual needs. Please ask us for details.
