Education
What is Secondary Water Metering?
Secondary water systems deliver untreated water for outdoor irrigation and landscaping, separate from the treated potable water supply. Secondary water meters measure this outdoor usage independently, allowing utilities to accurately bill for irrigation water and track outdoor consumption.
Without dedicated secondary metering, utilities cannot distinguish indoor from outdoor usage — leading to inaccurate billing, undetected leaks, and lost revenue. Proper secondary metering is essential for water conservation compliance and utility financial health.
The Neptune MACH 10® is specifically designed for secondary water applications, with ultrasonic technology that handles the unique flow characteristics of irrigation systems.
Outdoor Irrigation
Accurately measure landscape and irrigation water usage.
Accurate Billing
Bill customers precisely for secondary water consumption.
Compliance
Meet state and local water metering requirements.
Conservation

Why Ultrasonic Technology?
0
Moving Parts
No Moving Parts
Traditional meters use mechanical components that wear over time, reducing accuracy. The MACH 10® has zero moving parts — no wear, no drift, sustained accuracy for the life of the meter.
0.01
GPM Min Flow
Low Flow Detection
Ultrasonic technology detects flows as low as 0.01 GPM — capturing drips and slow leaks that mechanical meters miss entirely. Critical for leak detection and accurate billing.

Sustained Accuracy
Long-Term Accuracy
Unlike mechanical meters that degrade over time, the MACH 10® maintains its accuracy rating throughout its service life, ensuring consistent revenue and reliable data.
