Tangshan Qianxi County Water Supply Company was established in October 2001. It is a modern water supply company with a daily water supply capacity of >30,000m³. With the spirit of "unity, dedication, and pragmatic service", it has won the recognition of the general public.


With the growing demand for smart meter reading, Qianxi Water Supply Company has gradually promoted the use of card-type prepaid water meters since 2014. Due to the special local installation environment, most water meters are installed in deep wells of about 1.5 meters, with a water depth of about 0.5 meters, and the water meters are immersed in water for a long time, resulting in a high failure rate. Problems such as valves not closing for arrears and difficulty in replacing meters often occur, causing inconvenience to many residents, and there are disputes over water fee collection.


1. Situation in 2014:

The water meter is installed in such an environment:


The card-type prepaid water meters installed have faulty water meters that do not shut off the valves every month due to overdue payments, which is very troublesome to replace:


First, a pump needs to be brought in and professionals need to drain the water.

Then the staff went down the well and replaced the water meter.

If this kind of meter replacement work is done occasionally, it is acceptable, but the reality is that water meters break down almost every month, and this work has to be repeated every month, which is extremely painful for water company managers! !

2. Situation in 2015:

In order to solve the above problems, water meters have been replaced many times since 2015, including prepaid or remote water meters, but the effect is not ideal. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, data cannot be copied, and valves are not closed for arrears. This often adds a lot of obstacles to management.


3. At the beginning of 2017:

At the beginning of 2017, Qianxi Water Company began to adopt a new solution, replacing the water meter with a LXSY type wireless remote water meter with a built-in valve. Through wireless remote meter reading, remote automatic meter reading is realized, and the valve is automatically closed when the payment is in arrears. Of course, this water meter must reach IP68 waterproof level! Ensure normal operation when immersed in water, and realize wireless remote automatic meter reading and prepayment functions.

The installation site is as follows:


Meters have self-organizing network routing function


In the case where water floods the meter, or the meter well is too deep, a repeater can be added to the wellhead to ensure that all meter data is uploaded to the concentrator.
