Taggle provides a cost effective, long-life method of delivering regular, real-time meter readings - up to half-hourly.  

Taggle is able to interface with all major meters used in Australia:

  • Pulse output (reed switch or Hall effect)
  • Optical output
  • Serial output.

It can be pre-configured for the rate of readings required:

  • daily
  • hourly
  • user-defined period, or by
  • button-press for calibration and immediate reading.

The installation details:

  • date
  • tag ID
  • meter serial number
  • meter reading
  • latitude and longitude

are automatically stored in a GIS and are available on a mobile phone/handheld device.

Taggle has a tamper-alert capability and a battery life compatible with the meter warranty (>10 years).

Regular data makes identifying issues such as leaks straightforward. Daily consumption profiles can reveal a significant amount about water-use behaviour 

 

 

 

Average daily consumption - 600 litres

 

Profile

  • long static periods - low or no leaks
  • no periods of major water use 

 

 

Average daily consumption - 1,200 litres

Profile:

  • period of constant consumption over a 24-hour period between 7-8 September - a tap left on?
  • major use >1,200 litres in 3 hours - watering, hosing down? 

 

 

Clear leak profile with constant consumption over a series of 24-hour periods. 

 

 

No recurring leak problem, but someone left a tap on overnight on 11 September
