Flow Meters for Drinking Water Applications
The Benefits of McCrometer Flow Meters for Municipal Water Applications
Accurate, repeatable flow measurement is essential to cost-conscious drinking water and wastewater managers. From water storage, transmission lines to raw water, water treatment and more; reducing costs and improving flow control is on everyone’s mind. McCrometer mag meters, propeller meters and differential pressure flow meters offer unbeatable value in cost of installation and ownership, and set the standard for ease-of-use, ruggedness and reliability. Our leading-edge meters offer versatile, accurate flow measurement used in facilities across the globe.
How to Know Which Drinking Water or Wastewater Flow Meter is Right
Cost: Typically when choosing a flow meter, the higher the accuracy the higher the cost. In addition to the cost of the meter, things to consider include what it costs to install, calibrate, replace your meter or shut down your line. As you compare different meters, be sure to amortize the total cost of the flow meter over its lifespan.
Application: Whether the fluid media is drinking water or wastewater, knowing how conductive the media is in the pipe will be a big part of your decision. Some flow meters are affected by fluid temperature and operating pressure, so it’s critical that the meter you select has specifications that will meet your application needs.
Upstream and Downstream Piping: When meters are placed too close to pumps, valves, elbows and other obstructions, unstable or irregular flow can impact performance. Before selecting a meter, check the specific pipe run requirements from the meter to a stable flow profile.

The Classic Meter for Clean Water Flows
The Ultra Mag features an NSF-approved fusion-bonded epoxy UltraLiner™ and a lifetime liner guarantee, eliminating the risk of delamination and liner separation, and is ideal for applications near pumps, water wells, and other municipal locations.
Offering +/- 0.2% accuracy, this now enables our customers to have the great features and benefits of the Ultra Mag 5000 and ProComm Max transmitter within higher accuracy applications.
The unique combination of reliability, ease of installation and total cost savings make this flow meter the perfect choice for municipal water and wastewater effluent applications and flow media.
Designed for more critical infrastructure where continuous monitoring and integration with SCADA systems are essential. Its dual 4-20mA outputs, RS485 communication port, and intuitive interface make it a fully capable device for demanding municipal applications.
The SPI Mag 3000 Meter provides a highly cost-effective solution for the accurate measurement of liquid flow in closed conduit, pressurized pipe applications with the ProComm GO as a major highlight.
Paired with the ProComm for enhanced data communication and integration, the SPI Mag 5000 uses velocity and pipe diameter information to measure flow accurately across a wide range.
The FLO-DAR® AV Sensor provides an ideal solution for non-contact, maintenance-free portable or permanent sewer flow monitoring.
The FL900 Series Flow Logger revolutionizes remote, open channel flow monitoring by providing rugged and reliable innovative solutions for any sewer flow measurement challenge.
Hach's handheld, battery-powered FH950 Velocity & Depth Flow Meter was designed to provide accurate velocity and depth measurements while simplifying the entire measurement process in rugged field environments.
This multi-channel controller can handle up to four independent flow sensors. The FL1500 can also be paired with peripheral equipment such as a rain gauge, pH sensor, auto sampler, and mechanical totalizer.
