The deployment of V200 and V210 polymer hybrid meters comprising a fully integrated, tamperproof advanced meter reading (AMR) unit, alongside smart metering features, is expected to enable Elster to manage its water resources more effectively.

The V200 and V210 hybrids water meters use advanced electronic register technology to turn simple data into relevant metering information such as back flow, no flow and leakage detection to help in water conservation and are also easy to install with no complex commissioning.

Anglian Water project manager Paul Glass said that Anglian Water looks forward to the imminent installation of the V200 and V210 polymer hybrid meters from Elster as part of Anglian Water’s extended trial of radio meters.

"With world class design and manufacturing facilities based in the UK, we can see major benefits in being able to work with Elster. We can influence them in terms of designing products to meet our future needs and Elster can support us with a high volume supply of water meters," Glass said.
