The iPERL water meter is a system used to measure H2O consumption in homes, buildings and other structures that use the resource. It is a basic system that has turned out to be quite intelligent and has found favor with those who provide the resource to others. There are advantages and disadvantages to using it, but many say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The main benefits of the iPERL water meter are the low-flow accuracy it provides and the high-flow durability that manufacturers promise to their users. The system uses magnetic technology, which is an innovation in itself for measuring low flow. This means that it is demanding in its measurement and there is very little loss when it comes to counting. This advantage can be given to the utility providing the resource because the revenue goes directly to it. In the long run, consumers will also benefit because some providers basically charge their consumers for the low flow loss and split it among the clientele. With the use of this innovative product, the consumer can be sure that their consumption is accurate and that they were the ones who used it and they are not paying for something they did not use. The durability of the unit is also commendable, no matter how fast the resource flow. The iPERL water meter has no moving parts, which will eventually lead to gradual wear on the unit. With no parts to wear out, the unit is guaranteed to last over twenty years. Another advantage of this type of unit is the less disturbance that it produces in the older pipes of the old houses. Parts and services are readily available and can fit most standard plumbing typically found in older buildings, homes, and other structures. This means a lower installation cost because it can be easily installed in place of the old meter.

One of the disadvantages that consumers may cite about the iPERL water meter is its accuracy. Many consumers may not be aware of this, but older devices used to measure the consumption of this particular resource often cannot read low-flow usage. This means that the provider is often at a loss when it comes to this. With the use of this recent innovation, the supplier can be sure that every drop is accounted for. This could mean an increase in the cost of consumption for many of the users. Despite this, fair is fair and there is a strong possibility that the loss that the provider often charges its users is also reduced due to accuracy.

These are most of the advantages and disadvantages that the iPERL water meter system should display. Overall, it is a highly innovative system that saves energy and costs.
