Spectrum® Meters
Metron’s Spectrum® meters offer a comprehensive range of accurate, reliable and durable water meters. From small meters that are ideal for submetering in a mobile home park to heavyweight industrial meters and everything in-between, there’s a Spectrum meter to meet your requirements.
Metron’s Spectrum Jet and Spectrum Enduro meters are manufactured in our ISO 9001 certified production facility.
Spectrum meters are compatible with our Prism® digital cellular register, providing a maintenance-free solution for capturing water consumption data and transmitting it to WaterScope® over existing cellular networks such as Verizon’s.
The only times we’ve had issues are if someone takes the frost lid off, or lets their dog chew up the antenna. We don’t have any complaints about the hardware we’re receiving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Metron offer a range of water meters?
Yes, Metron’s range of meters covers everything from small residential to industrial applications. While most of the meters employ single-jet impeller technology, the line-up also includes positive displacement (piston) and ultrasonic meters.
What materials are Metron’s meters made of?
Some of the single-jet residential meters are made of glass-filled composite, which combines strength and durability with low weight. All other single-jet meters have lead-free brass bodies. The Spectrum Hydrant meter is made of aluminum to make it portable.
What GPM (gallons per minute) range does Metron’s products cover?
For maximum flow rate, we offer meters from 20 gpm to over 3000 gpm. For low flow, our positive displacement meter, the Spectrum PD, captures flow rates as low as 0.03 gpm.
Are Metron’s meters certified to public standards?
Yes. Our single-jet meters are AWWA C712 certified for accuracy, materials and design in cold water applications. Our ultrasonic meters are certified to AWWA C715. All of our meters are NSF-61G certified for drinking water safety. Our brass meters are certified to NSF/ANSI 372 for lead-free requirements. All of our meters have water recording accuracy well within AWWA’s required specifications.
Do Metron’s meters have standard lay lengths?
Yes, mostly. Metron offers spools for meters whose lay length is shorter than some standard applications.
Can water meters be installed in any orientation?
Single-jet meters must be installed upright. Ultrasonic and positive displacement meters can be installed in any orientation.
Is it possible to measure water consumed from city fire hydrants?
Yes. Metron’s Spectrum Hydrant meter is a lightweight, portable meter specifically designed for this purpose. Like our other meters, it reads automatically over the cellular network, which means cities don’t need to rely on contractors to report their water usage.
