Water Firms Save on Costs with ABB's Flowmeters

Water companies can reduce the cost of using the latest flowmetering equipment by choosing ABB's electromagnetic flowmeters from the Water Technology List scheme

Water companies can reduce the cost of using the latest flowmetering equipment by choosing ABB's electromagnetic flowmeters from the Water Technology List scheme. Set up over 10 years ago to promote the use of water efficient technology, the scheme allows companies to offset 100 percent of the costs associated with both purchasing and installation in the first year.

As listed products within the scheme, ABB's WaterMaster, AquaMaster and Aquaprobe flowmeters are all eligible for 100 percent tax relief at the time of purchase. In many cases, this removes the cost argument that has seen many water companies continuing to opt for mechanical flowmeters, despite their many drawbacks compared to electromagnetic devices. "Although electromagnetic flowmeters have been widely embraced by the UK water industry, they have yet to completely replace mechanical meters, which are seen by many to continue to offer a cheaper alternative," says Alan Hunt, Product Specialist for ABB's UK Measurement Products business. "This is despite the many inherent drawbacks of mechanical flowmeters, which include deteriorating accuracy from the day they are installed caused by wearing of internal components."
