How a Vortex Flow Meter Can Save You Money

May 12, 2020

A vortex flow meter is more than a device that measures the flow rate of water moving within a system, it’s also a money-saving tool that’s often overlooked. Whether you operate a water utility company, landscaping business, or industrial facility, see how a vortex flow meter with DSP (digital signal process) can save you money.

1. DETECTS LEAKS QUICKLY

A major drawback of traditional mechanical flow meters is that low flow water leaks can go undetected for months, years, or never because low-end performance deteriorates as the bearings wear. With a vortex flow meter, you’re able to detect leaks quickly and take action right away.

2. ALLOWS YOU TO CONSERVE MORE WATER

Another way to reduce your water bill besides detecting leaks and clogs with a vortex flow meter is to monitor and adjust water usage. While water conservation makes financial sense, it’s beneficial for the environment too which you can as a promotional point for your company.

3. IMPROVES METER READING ACCURACY

DSP vortex flow meters use highly accurate technology that can read down to 0.5 GPM (gallons per minute), 50+ turndown ratio. Accurate and reliable meter reading is essential for detecting leaks and conserving water, all of which save you money.

4. LASTS LONGER THAN OTHER FLOW METERS

Vortex flow meters are more durable than other flow meters because they never change calibration and don’t have rotating parts or bearings. Wearing causes a continual loss of accuracy and range over time, but a vortex flow meter doesn’t encounter these issues so you’ll get a longer use out of the device. Furthermore, you won’t have to buy calibration tools or spend on labor costs for service technicians to calibrate the vortex flow meter.

5. EXPERIENCES LESS SYSTEM ENERGY LOSS

Since vortex flow meters have a lower pressure drop than paddle or PD meters, they have less system energy loss and more pressure available for sprinkling. These features ensure a higher level of performance for a longer period of time which means you won’t have to replace the meter with a new one to achieve comparable results.

6. SIMPLIFIES MAINTENANCE

Another drawback of paddle flow meters is that they need to be removed for system blowouts whereas vortex flow meters can stay where they are. Since our meters don’t need to be removed, system maintenance is simplified thereby reducing labor costs and system downtime.

7. MAKES MOUNTING EASIER

Speaking of labor costs, the versatility of vortex flow meters makes it easier to install as they can be mounted in any orientation as long as the pipe is full at all times. When service technicians are able to mount the meter in any orientation, there’s less chance of improper installation which can lead to an expensive mistake.

8. REDUCES YOUR LIABILITY

Our vortex flow meter is made of ABS plastic, EPDM rubber, and stainless steel (in some models) instead of lead, a poisonous material that can cause heart disease, kidney disease, infertility, and more. Using a flow meter that is made from safe materials protects your employees and enhances water safety while helping to shield your company from liability.
