Water Meters
Water Meter Testing
For municipalities, the importance to routinely test industrial, commercial and institutional water meters has increased significantly due to the increased costs to deliver potable water. These costs are attributable to substantial capital investment in infrastructure to meet MOEE regulations, mandatory verification of equipment used in the process of treating water, increased reporting requirements, dwindling water reserves, ongoing water auditing/unaccounted for water calculations, user pay billing practices, avoiding and/or resolving customer complaints.
Water Meter Repair
Water meter repairs are only as good a
s the quality of the replacement parts and the service technician. Coulter uses only OEM parts and our technicians receive extensive training in both the diagnosis of the defective part and its installation. Most of the training undertaken is carried in-house. Coulter has a complete inventory of meters serviced which serve as training aids. These units are subjected to extensive “proving” test runs and studied for all the different performance failures. A workshop is then undertaken to discuss the results and best manner to correct the defects studied. Procedures are developed to minimize downtime on the site. Troubleshooting guides are then created and form part of a general service manual.
Water Meter Calibration
All meters have accuracy standards claimed by the manufacturers which in many cases exceed the requirements imposed by the AWWA. All mechanical meters are covered by AWWA standards. Electronic meters and other devices are under study and in the interim our policy is to calibrate to the manufacturers’ accuracy claim.
