Prepaid Manual Submeters
The tenant will purhase an “x” amount of water units that will be loaded onto the prepaid submeters IC card. The purchased water units can then be loaded onto the prepaid submeter with a simple tap of the card which will automatically open the submeter valve to allow the tenant to consume their purchased water units.
As the tenants consume water, the submeter will automatically collect the consumption data and update the available water units. The submeters valve will automatically shut off when the available water units reach a pre configured level. This notifies the tenant that they are almost out of water. The tenant can then press a button on the submeter to continue using the remaining water units. At this time, the tenant can also purchase more water units that will be loaded onto their card to prevent the water units reaching zero.
Wireless Prepaid Submeters
The tenant will purchase an “x” amount of water units that will automatically be remotely loaded onto the wireless submeter and the submeter valve will be opened to allow the tenant to consume their purchased water units. As the tenants consumes water, the submeter will collect the usage data and update the available water units. As the water reaches a low point, the tenant is notified and can purchase more water units to prevent the water units reaching zero.
