The market for residential water metering has seen little innovation over the past twenty years. Current regulation makes it difficult for meter manufacturers to show the true performance of their products and is focused on initial metrological performance. The new measurement instruments directive (MID) to be introduced from October 2006 gives an opportunity for Utilities to really define their needs in terms of product performance and for suppliers to show the true capabilities of their products.

As a result of extensive laboratory and field analysis and of three years of research and development in Mâcon (France), Actaris has recently launched a completely new volumetric residential water meter called the Aquadis+. Offering exceptional performances: robustness associated with an outstanding accuracy, Actaris believes it a product that will define a new standard for volumetric metering.
