5: What can the Water Balance analytics quickly show you?
How much each consumer is billed for water
You can find the answer here >
6: What happens with the control valve if network pressure gets too low?
The control valve will open to maintain the minimum network pressure
6: What happens with the control valve if network pressure gets too low?
The control valve will close, stopping water from entering the network

6: What happens with the control valve if network pressure gets too low?
The control valve does not respond to network pressure

7: What is the most efficient way to operate a water distribution system?
Using a proportional pressure control system
7: What is the most efficient way to operate a water distribution system?
Using a fixed constant pressure setpoint

8: How is a DMA created?
By closing valves within the distribution pipe network to create a zone and installing flowmeters where valves are left open to register the volume of water supplied and removed from the DMA
8: How is a DMA created?
By leaving open a few valves within the distribution pipe network and installing consumer meters to register water supplied to the DMA
