The new rules of the UK regulator OFGEM have strengthened the requirements for the reliability of measuring equipment and clearly highlighted the risks for companies working with unreliable meters. A high percentage of defects or failures in installed equipment leads to additional costs for replacement, maintenance, and technician visits, as well as increasing the likelihood of sanctions. For operators, reliable hardware and a minimal failure rate become a strategic factor for reducing operating costs, meeting regulatory requirements, and improving end-user satisfaction.
These challenges are successfully addressed by the new ultrasonic water meter ADDRA, developed by ADD GRUP. It is designed for maximum accuracy and reliability in household conditions and meets international quality and safety standards. The absence of moving parts makes the meter resistant to wear, eliminates the need for regular maintenance, and ensures stable measurement accuracy throughout its entire service life without recalibration. An additional replaceable external battery (power bank) significantly extends the device’s lifetime up to 30 years and, if necessary, can be easily replaced, ensuring long-term reliability and ease of operation.
As for the meter’s electronics, ADD GRUP has proven itself over the past 15 years as a supplier of smart meters with the lowest defect rate, averaging 0.1% per year.
Thanks to high reliability and a low defect rate, ADDRA helps operators reduce maintenance costs, minimize the risk of sanctions from regulators, ensure transparent billing, and increase customer trust. For end-users, the meter guarantees uninterrupted operation, accurate measurement, timely malfunction alerts, and convenient consumption management tools.
Under OFGEM’s new rules, choosing reliable equipment is not just a technical decision but a strategic factor for business sustainability. The ADDRA ultrasonic meter from ADD GRUP combines reliability, innovative functionality, and long-term economic benefits, helping companies meet the strictest market requirements and build consumer trust.
