Comparison between single jet water meter and multi jet water meter
Multi-jet water meters and single-jet water meters differ mainly in structure, durability, filtration capacity and cost:
1. Structure and water inlet method
Single-jet water meter: There is only one water inlet, and all water flows enter the water meter through this single inlet, impacting the impeller for metering.
Multi-jet water meter: There are multiple water inlets, and water flows enter from multiple directions at the same time, which disperses the impact pressure of water flow on the impeller, thereby reducing water resistance and impeller wear.


2. Durability and fault resistance
Single-jet water meter: Since there is only one water inlet, once this inlet is impurities or blocked, the water meter will not work properly.
Multi-jet water meter: The design of multiple water inlets allows water to flow normally even if some of the water inlets are blocked, and the water meter can continue to work, increasing durability and fault resistance.
3. Filtration capacity requirements
Single-jet water meter: A more stringent water quality and filtration system is required to ensure that only one water inlet is unobstructed.
Multi-jet water meter: The requirements for water quality are relatively relaxed because multiple water inlets can disperse the impact of impurities.


4. Cost
Single-jet water meter: Usually the cost is lower because of the simple structure and less materials.
Multi-jet water meter: Due to the complex structure, it requires more materials and manufacturing processes, and the cost is relatively high.
