Description
Designed to Bring Clarity to Water Delivery
Flowmeters give farmers and water managers clear visibility into how much water is being delivered. Instead of estimating or relying on assumptions, flowmeters provide real measurements that support better irrigation decisions and improved water efficiency.
Knowing actual flow is essential for accurate scheduling, system optimization, and long-term water management.
How Flowmeters Help in the Field
Once installed, flowmeters continuously measure water moving through pipes or open channels and report that data into the SAE Water system.
This allows users to:
-
Verify how much water is being delivered
-
Identify inefficiencies or losses
-
Support automation and scheduling decisions
Flow data becomes the foundation for consistent irrigation and confident water management.
Built to Work Alone or as a System
SAE Water flowmeters can be used as standalone measurement tools or integrated into a fully automated irrigation system.
When paired with Automated Headgates, Valves, and Water Presence Sensors, flowmeters provide the data needed to manage water based on real conditions instead of estimates. Different flowmeter options are available to match open channels, pressurized pipes, temporary setups, or permanent installations.
Each flowmeter type is designed for specific field conditions, ensuring the right solution for every operation.
