Calculator highlights potential savings through Water technology List

"The online calculator enables end users to see for themselves how beneficial it can be to purchase equipment from the Water Technology List,” says Alan Hunt, product specialist for ABB’s UK Measurement Products business. "Although the scheme has been around for a long time, many people are still unaware that it applies not only to the products listed but also the installation itself which can account for around 50% of a typical project.”

With no moving parts that can fail, electromagnetic flowmeters require little or no maintenance, reducing operational costs and improving both efficiency and profitability through enhanced accuracy.

ABB’s WaterMaster, AquaMaster and AquaProbe flow meters are widely used across the UK water industry. Available in sizes from 3/8 to 96in, the ABB WaterMaster offers accurate and reliable measurement in mains distribution, wastewater and sewage applications. Its robust sensors can be directly buried, eliminating the need for expensive meter chambers.

Incorporating quad band GSM/SMS communications and a choice of mains, battery and renewable power options, ABB’s AquaMaster flowmeters offer a highly accurate and flexible solution for flow measurement in even the remotest locations. Now also incorporating WITS DNP3 communications, the AquaMaster3 is the world’s first flowmeter to offer water operators access to near real-time data on device status, presenting new opportunities for intelligent maintenance management.
