Preparation for the summer season: ADDRA ultrasonic water meters help prevent inefficient water consumption

Spring is not only a time of renewal, but also a period of preparation for peak loads on water resources, which traditionally occur during the summer months. According to various estimates, total water consumption increases by 20–30% during the summer period due to the запуск irrigation systems, while up to 30–40% of water may be used inefficiently due to leaks, uncontrolled consumption, and lack of accurate metering. At the same time, in hot countries water becomes a much scarcer resource than in winter months.

It is precisely now that utilities and property management companies begin implementing solutions that can reduce water losses and improve efficiency.

One of the effective tools to address this challenge is the ADDRA ultrasonic water meters developed by ADD GRUP.

ADDRA meters ensure high measurement accuracy throughout their entire service life — up to 16 years — including the detection of ultra-low water flows starting from 1 liter per hour.

This level of sensitivity allows to:

  • detect hidden leaks at an early stage
  • identify continuous low flow that often goes unnoticed
  • prevent cumulative losses that can reach tens of cubic meters per household over a season

Unlike mechanical meters, ultrasonic technology:

  • has no moving parts, reducing wear and measurement errors
  • maintains accuracy regardless of water quality
  • ensures stable long-term performance

Proactive control and loss prevention

ADDRA is not just a meter, but a management tool. Its built-in alert system allows quick response to key events:

  • leaks (LEAK) — continuous consumption for more than 24 hours
  • bursts (BURST) — high flow for more than 30 minutes
  • tampering (TAMPER)
  • reverse water flow

Timely detection of such events is especially important during the summer period, when losses can scale rapidly.

Consumption management during peak periods

ADDRA models with a valve allow:

  • remote shut-off of water supply
  • flow limitation (e.g., up to 50%)
  • implementation of prepaid consumption models

This enables efficient resource management during peak demand and ensures a minimum water supply for each consumer.

According to international organizations, the level of non-revenue water (NRW) in some countries can reach up to 40%, making the implementation of smart metering systems critically important.Preparing for the summer season is not only an operational task, but also a strategic step toward sustainable water management. Solutions like ADDRA help shift from passive metering to active control and responsible consumption.
