Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
A water meter helps you to control and optimize the water consumption of your irrigation system.
A water meter is installed in the main water pipe of your irrigation system and can be easily attached with a wrench.
The size of the water meter depends on the flow rate of your irrigation system. A higher flow rate requires a larger water meter.
Water meters are usually made of plastic or brass. Brass is more durable, but also somewhat more expensive.
Yes, you can replace your water meter yourself. However, make sure you choose the right size and material and follow the instructions carefully.
Why are water meters important for garden irrigation?
Water meters are an indispensable tool for efficient and cost-effective garden irrigation. They enable precise measurement of water consumption and help to detect leaks in the pipe system. As a result, unnecessary costs can be avoided and efficiency increased. Especially in times of rising water prices and limited resources, the use of water meters is essential.
Analog or electronic water meters?
At DVS Irrigation, we offer both analog and electronic water meters. Both variants have their advantages and disadvantages. Analog water meters are cheaper to buy and have a long service life. However, they are less accurate and need to be read regularly. Electronic water meters, on the other hand, offer precise measurement and can be connected to Smart Garden irrigation controllers. However, they are somewhat more expensive to purchase.
Compatibility with Smart Garden irrigation controllers
The water meters offered by DVS Beregnung are compatible with Smart Garden irrigation controllers. This enables simple and automated control of water consumption. The irrigation controllers can be programmed so that they only dispense the required amount of water and thus prevent over-irrigation. This not only saves costs, but also protects the environment.
