The IC card water meter adds prepaid functionality to the original ordinary mechanical meter, utilizing microprocessing control technology for data acquisition. It employs an LCD display, IC card medium for data exchange, and a micro-motor to control valve operation. The product features reliable performance, comprehensive functionality, an aesthetically pleasing appearance, user-friendly operation, easy installation, and accurate measurement, with performance meeting national standards.
The insertable IC card prepaid water meter has the following performance characteristics:

◆ Prepaid Mode:

Prepaid mode means paying for water before usage: the initial available water volume is zero, and the valve is closed. Users go to a water sales point to open an account and purchase water, then receive a user card. Inserting the card into the corresponding water meter allows the meter to read the available water volume from the card, after which the valve opens for normal water supply. Once the available water volume in the meter is exhausted, the valve closes. Users take the card to the water sales point to purchase more water, then insert the recharged user card into the meter to repeat the process.

◆ Card Replacement and Transfer Function:

A user card can only complete a successful transaction with the corresponding water meter once per purchase. If the card is lost, it can be replaced using the software database management function without loss or duplication of water volume. When a water meter needs replacement, place the recovery transfer card in the meter’s swipe area to read the internal data. Then, place the card in the new meter’s swipe area to transfer the old meter’s information to the new one.

◆ Dual Display Modes (Mechanical and Electronic):

The household water meter retains the mechanical digit wheel and pointer display while adding an LCD screen. Even if the electronic components fail, the cumulative water consumption can still be read from the mechanical digit wheel.

◆ Tiered Water Pricing Mode:

Different tiered water fees are applied based on regional tiered water pricing policies, encouraging water conservation by charging higher rates for increased usage. This aims to raise public awareness about saving water!
