Springhill Water Services use Micronics Clamp-On Flow Measurement for Filter Sizing and Water Flow Surveys
Story
Sizing water filters and establishing what’s flowing where on existing water supplies can be a difficult task but Specialist Water Services suppler – Springhill Water Services have found it a lot easier using Micronics Clamp-On Flow Meters.
Springhill are an established company based in Sowerby Bridge West Yorkshire and provide a wide range of services relating to commercial and private/domestic water supplies. The key players in the company are water industry professionals with many years experience of designing, installing and maintaining potable water supplies.
The team had previous experience of Clamp-On, Ultrasonic water flow measurement in the 90’s and decided to investigate how the technology had progressed and its potential use to establish demand profiles for Filter sizing and flow surveys.
Having considered various suppliers they selected the Micronics – Portaflo 204 – Time of Flight – portable flow instrument plus data-logger. Portable Clamp-On Ultrasonic flow measurement has clear advantages for survey work and Micronics were selected as the supplier due to a combination of their long-term experience with non-invasive, Clamp-On technology, product performance and pre-order assistance.
Manager Matthew Wilson says “The Portaflo 204 has proved to be a valuable tool for demand profiling to size filters and also survey work and leak detection. We’re now far more confident in specifying filters including very large installations where it can be difficult and we’ve also used it as part of our toolkit to locate leaks on a large Bradford campsite and establish peak demand profiles on a Motorway Service area. The product has worked well and the customer service and technical support from Micronics has been good.”
Springhill have successfully used the Micronics system to measure and log flow in copper and plastic pipe from 15 to 100mm and they are delighted with the performance they’ve experienced.
