Advantages of valve-controlled water meters
The use of valve control in water meters has obvious advantages, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1.Remote control of valve opening and closing to reduce manual intervention: Valve-controlled water meters can remotely control valve opening and closing through the system, without the need for staff to operate on site. For example, when a user owes fees, the water department can remotely close the valve to stop water supply, and then remotely open it after the payment is successfully collected, avoiding the cumbersome process of traditional "manual meter reading + door-to-door valve closing", greatly reducing labor costs and time costs.

2.Real-time monitoring of water use status and accurate management of leakage: Valve-controlled water meters usually integrate IoT communication functions (such as NB-IoT, LoRa, etc.), and can upload water consumption data and valve status in real time. When there is a pipe leak or abnormal rotation of the water meter, the system can issue a timely warning, and the water department can quickly locate the problem and deal with it, reducing the water resource leakage rate.

3.Support tiered water prices and prepaid mode: Valve-controlled water meters can have a built-in billing module to automatically perform tiered water price calculations based on water consumption, or realize prepaid functions (users recharge first and then use water). For example, the prepaid model can prevent users from defaulting on water bills and improve the cash flow of the water department; while tiered water prices can guide users to save water.
