What is a Prepaid IC Card Water Meter?

A Prepaid IC Card Water Meter (also known as a Smart Card Water Meter or RF Card Water Meter) is an advanced digital device designed for automatic water fee management. It allows users to prepay for water consumption through an IC card, enabling both water utilities and end users to manage water usage efficiently and transparently.

This type of smart water meter integrates electronic measurement, data storage, and payment control systems. Users simply recharge their IC card with a desired amount of water credit and insert or swipe it on the meter to activate water supply. When the prepaid balance is used up, the meter automatically closes the valve and stops water flow until the card is recharged again. Prepaid IC card water meters are widely used in residential buildings, apartments, dormitories, commercial offices, and other properties where water usage is billed by household or unit.
