The iPERL water meter is a system used to measure H2O consumption in houses, buildings and other structures that use the resource. It’s a basic system that has turned out to be quite clever and has found favor with those who provide the resource to others. There are advantages and disadvantages to using it, but many say that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
The main benefits of the iPERL water meter are the low flow accuracy it provides and the high flow durability that manufacturers promise their users. The system uses magnetic technology, which is an innovation in itself for measuring low flow rates. This means that it is demanding in its measure and there is very little loss when it comes to the account. This advantage can be given to the utility that provides the resource because the revenue goes directly to it. In the long run, consumers will also benefit because some providers basically charge the low flow loss to their consumers and split it up among their customers. With the use of this innovative product, the consumer can be sure that his consumption is accurate and that he was the one who used it and that he is not paying for something that he did not use. The durability of the unit is also commendable no matter how fast the flow of the resource is. The iPERL water meter has no moving parts, which will eventually cause gradual wear on the unit. With no parts to wear out, the unit is guaranteed to last over twenty years. Another advantage of this type of unit is the less disturbance it causes to old plumbing in old houses. Parts and services are readily available and can fit most standard plumbing typically found in older buildings, homes, and other structures. This means less installation cost because it can be easily installed in place of the old meter.
One of the cons that consumers may cite about the iPERL water meter is its accuracy. Many consumers may not be aware of this, but older devices used to measure consumption of this particular resource are often unable to read low-flow usage. This means that the provider is often at a loss when it comes to this. Using this recent innovation, the provider can be sure that every drop will be counted. This could mean an increase in the cost of consumption for many of the users. Despite this, fair is fair and there is a high chance that the loss that the provider usually charges its users will also be reduced due to accuracy.
These are most of the advantages and disadvantages of the iPERL water meter system. In short, it is a highly innovative system that saves energy and costs.
