Limpet Readers

Is your water meter difficult to read?

You need an accurate, low cost solution to hassle-free meter readings

Limpet readers are a budget friendly option for businesses looking to avoid skipped meter readings, eliminate estimated billing, and minimise the hassle of monthly meter readings, by providing 100% accurate readings directly to your device.

Quick and easy to set up, Limpet readers help to keep your business water bills up-to-date and improve safety by removing the need to open meter manholes to collect meter readings.

How do Limpet readers work?

The Limpet reader attaches to your existing water meter. The device takes a photo of the meter reading and converts the image into accurate numerical readings (as displayed on your meter). The meter reading data is transmitted to a database, that stores your readings with corresponding dates, before being sent to your mobile device.

The devices offer the flexibility to set up in advance how often you would like to receive your water meter readings. Typically businesses set Limpet readers to provide monthly readings.

TRACK YOUR WATER USAGE

Meter readings allow you to monitor your business water usage which can help you to track consumption patterns.
