A simple Google Search for a Prepaid Electricity and Water Meters will serve up many results from different manufacturers, wholesalers, suppliers and installers. The choices can be bewildering. At Straton Prepaid we are quite conservative with the equipment that we supply and install – 5 decades of experience maintain led us to stick to tried and tested equipment that we would use in our own homes or business premises. And long hard lessons in the value of NOT having comebacks also taught us the value of supplying equipment that is reliable. That, in turn, translates into satisfied clients and savings from lower operating costs to fabricate our pricing more competitive.
With that said Straton Pre-paid currently offer two prepaid water meters – one of local manufacture and one imported from China. Both finish the job of measuring and dispensing water equally well and both are STS Compliant. Both maintain been through many years of testing on the workbench and in the field.
So, why offer two then? Simple – one is cheaper and ultrasonic (ultrasonic measurement ensures better accuracy and performance in every types and conditions of water) and the other is a tad higher in price and uses a pulse output water meter in order to enable metering measurement, leak and tamper detection.
