Smart Prepaid Water Metering System

Intelligent water management for modern estates, apartments, utilities, and commercial properties. Eliminate revenue losses and automate water service with advanced IoT technology.

💧

01How It Works

Each water meter is equipped with an integrated smart valve and communication module. The entire process is fully automated — from purchase to shut-off and reconnection.

Purchase Water Credit

Via MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, online portal, USSD, bank, or agent network

2

Auto Credit

Units synced to meter in real time. Smart valve opens automatically

3

Real-Time Tracking

Meter monitors consumption and deducts from balance continuously

4

Auto Valve Control

Valve closes at zero balance. Reopens on new payment — no technician needed

💧 Unlike Traditional Systems

No manual meter reading, no physical inspections, no costly disconnection visits. The smart valve automatically controls water access based on payment status.

02Payment Convenience for Landlords

Customers purchase water credit through multiple convenient channels — no landlord involvement needed. Revenue is collected before a single drop is consumed. The smart valve handles everything automatically.
