In today’s rapidly evolving landscape of smart infrastructure and sustainable resource management, accurate and reliable water metering plays a crucial role. As Singapore advances toward smarter buildings and more efficient utilities, the demand for high-performance metering technology is on the rise. At Val-Technik Pte Ltd, we are proud to represent Diehl Metering, a global leader in ultrasonic metering solutions that redefine precision, longevity, and connectivity. 

What Makes Diehl Metering Ultrasonic Water Meters Different? 

Diehl Metering’s Hydrus 2.0 ultrasonic water meters stand out from conventional mechanical meters in several important ways. Most notably, they operate without any moving parts. This design innovation eliminates the wear and tear issues common in traditional meters, resulting in significantly improved durability and long-term accuracy. This is especially valuable in environments where water quality or flow conditions can impact the lifespan and reliability of mechanical meters. 

Unlike mechanical meters that rely on the movement of internal components to measure flow, Diehl Metering’s ultrasonic meters use sound waves to calculate water flow with high precision. The absence of mechanical friction ensures accurate measurement throughout the entire life of the meter, even under low or irregular flow conditions. This is critical in helping building managers, developers, and utility companies reduce non-revenue water and ensure fair billing. 

Built for Smart Infrastructure 

Diehl Metering’s Hydrus 2.0 meters are not just accurate - they are also smart. Each device is equipped with integrated communication modules that support remote reading via AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) and AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) systems. This allows for real-time data collection, remote diagnostics, and advanced analytics, reducing the need for manual meter reading and enabling faster response to anomalies such as leaks or unusual consumption patterns. 

With the ability to integrate into building management systems and smart city platforms, Diehl Metering's ultrasonic meters empower utilities and property managers with the tools they need to monitor consumption trends, detect inefficiencies, and implement water-saving strategies - all while improving user experience and service reliability. 

Long-Term Savings and Reliability 

Another significant advantage of Diehl Metering's ultrasonic meters is their exceptionally long battery life - up to 16 years. Combined with their maintenance-free design, this makes them a cost-effective solution for long-term deployment in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Tamper detection features and MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) certification further ensure the integrity of readings and compliance with international standards. 

The meters are also compact and easy to install, making them ideal for both new developments and retrofitting existing properties. Their robust build quality enables consistent performance in challenging conditions, including high humidity or variable flow scenarios. 

Supporting Singapore’s Sustainability Goals 

As Singapore continues its push toward environmental sustainability and efficient water use, Diehl Metering’s ultrasonic water meters are well positioned to support national initiatives such as the Singapore Green Building Masterplan and PUB’s Smart Water Meter Programme. By improving data transparency and empowering consumers with actionable insights, these meters contribute to a culture of conservation and accountability. 

In addition to Diehl Metering Hydrus 2.0 meters having undergone rigorous testing and global standards certification for European and global markets, they are also fully compliant on PUB’s Stipulation of Standards & Requirements for Water Fittings for Use in Potable Water Service Installations. This enables for a seamless transition for replacement and new installations in Singapore's projects without worry of compliance to local stipulations.
