Precision in Every Drop: Innovative Smart Irrigation Solutions

Challenges Faced by Professionals

Professionals in property operations and irrigation management face a delicate balancing act. On one hand, they must ensure that lawns, parks, and golf courses remain visually appealing and functional. On the other hand, they must conserve water resources and minimize environmental impact. This challenge becomes even more critical in regions with water scarcity or strict regulations.

Innovative Solutions for Modern Challenges

To address these modern challenges, Badger Meter provides a comprehensive suite of smart irrigation solutions designed to meet the demands of water conservation and regulatory compliance. Our offerings include advanced flow sensors, flow meters, and integrated monitoring technologies, each aimed at enhancing irrigation precision and efficiency.

Integrated Monitoring Technologies

We offer sophisticated monitoring solutions that work in conjunction with our flow sensors and meters. These technologies provide a comprehensive view of the system’s performance and allow for real-time adjustments and management, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of irrigation practices.

Flow Meters

These devices measure the volume of water passing through the system, offering valuable insights into overall water usage. By detecting inefficiencies, such as leaks or blockages, our flow meters enable timely adjustments to maintain optimal performance.

Flow Sensors

Our flow sensors are essential for accurately measuring water flow through irrigation systems. They provide critical data to ensure that the right amount of water is delivered precisely where needed, helping to prevent both over-watering and under-watering.

The Dynasonics^® RS-900W is a Game-Changer

The Dynasonics RS-900w Polymer Ultrasonic Flow Sensor stands out in our product lineup, specifically tailored for modern irrigation control applications. By using ultrasonic technology, the RS-900w sensor can more accurately measure flow over a wider range than traditional mechanical impeller meters commonly used in irrigation. Its unique design features with no moving parts and fully sealed electronics make it an ideal choice for the demanding conditions of property operations. The flow sensor’s robust construction ensures it can withstand the elements and deliver consistent performance over long periods of time.

Unlike traditional flow meters that often require a certain length of straight pipe before and after the meter to ensure accurate measurements, the RS-900w sensor breaks this mold with zero straight run requirements. It can be installed immediately upstream from a master control valve, even in tight spaces like a single valve box. This flexibility simplifies installation and saves valuable real estate in landscape designs.

Its ability to accurately measure flow across a wide range sets the RS-900w meter apart from other flow sensors. This versatility is essential for mixed-zone irrigation systems that experience variable flows. Combined with the meter’s advanced features, the RS-900w meter provides a unique solution that addresses the specific needs of specifiers in the irrigation market.

Embracing the Future with Advanced Technology

The crucial approach to water management is to be forward-thinking, embracing the latest technologies and telemetry to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving industry. These technological advancements are not merely about keeping pace with the competition; they are about leading the charge toward smarter, more sustainable water usage. With tools like the RS-900w, applications are at the forefront of innovation, providing specifiers with the data and control they need to optimize their irrigation practices.
