Pulsed Water Meters – Pulse Output for Cold Water Flow Monitoring
Choosing Pulsed Water Meters
For general cold-water (30°C) or hot water (90°C) applications, the size of water meter is usually determined by the gauge of pipe into which the meter will be fixed.
Please note that larger water meters have a large flowrate factor (in m³/h) and are less sensitive to low flow rates. If in doubt see the datasheet which provides technical information including flowrates, physical sizes and weights or call a Watersavers’ expert on 01603 720999 or email sales@watersavers.co.uk we’d be delighted to help.
WMP pulse water meters are fitted with a reed switch contact to provide one contact closure per fixed volume of water flowing through, whilst allowing the dial to be read. The contact output may be connected to a remote digital meter, leak detection panel or other electrical or electronic system.

Pulsed Water Meters
Water meters are available with a pulsed output which can be used for remote monitoring making them suitable for installations applying for BREEAM Wat 02 and Wat 03.
Watersavers supplies a standard range of pulse water meters in sizes from 1/2” up to 4” BSP. These meters are WRAS approved and have a pulse output enabling water flow to be monitored, logged or controlled – especially for BREEAM credits.
These meters give a pulse output (usually from a magnetic reed switch) for a fixed volume of water flowing through them. The K factor is the number of litres per pulse output. On smaller meters from 1/2” to 1 1/4” BSP, the factor is usually 1 litre per pulse. This increases to 10 litres per pulse and 100 litres per pulse for larger meters.
Our WLDS-10mk3 and WLDS-20 mk3 leak detection panels monitor pulses from pulse water meters and raise an alarm in the event of the water flow rate exceeding preset parameters.
