Octave, an ultrasonic water meter that uses double-beam sensors to monitor flow, will be introduced by Netafim USA at the Irrigation Association Show in November. According to the company, Octave offers a new level of accuracy to measuring flow data because the water flow path is unrestricted; there are no moving parts or impeller, which typically propel a meter’s register. With no wear-prone parts, Octave’s ultrasonic technology reduces maintenance and improves long-term reliability. The meter features an easy-to-read, multi-line digital LCD display that provides immediate reporting and visual indicators for critical conditions. The display includes volume units, flow rate units, flow director, leak detector, alarms and errors, and more. Octave is available in sizes from 2 to 12 in., and monitors flow ranges from 1to 5,500 gallons per minute. The pulsed output module allows integration with most landscape controllers. Octave is recommended for use on large residential sites, commercial properties, sports fields, golf courses and other turf areas. The IP68 register is vacuum-sealed and tamper-proof. Two lithium batteries provide a 10-year life expectancy.
