What it costs, all in

One number. Count your inlets and multiply.

Wave has one price for all three sizes and nothing recurring. Count your inlets, multiply by ₹4,599, and that is the meter bill.

  • ₹0monthly or yearly fee
  • ₹0SIM, data or app
  • ₹0annual plan or recharge
  • ₹0extra for 25 or 50 mm

What is not included: thread adapters, reducer bushes, unions, NRV and your plumber's labour. Typical fitting materials run a few hundred rupees per meter; your plumber quotes labour locally.

Will it fit my plumbing?

One meter per inlet. Here is what that means in your building.

Wave measures the water that passes through it. Check both: the right meter size and the number of supply inlets. Three common layouts:

  • Single inlet per flat

    Most villas, independent houses and newer apartments. One Wave on the inlet measures everything the flat uses.

    Per flat1 meter · ₹4,599

  • Two inlets per flat

    Common in older towers where wet areas are fed by separate risers. Two meters; add the two readings.

    Per flat2 meters · ₹9,198

  • Shared riser, no per-flat branch

    Per-flat metering needs re-plumbing here, and we will tell you so. Meter the tower, borewell or tanker inlet instead and split by the society's rule.

Who installs it

A qualified plumber, following our installation guide. Standard threaded adapters on CPVC or UPVC, about 30 minutes per meter, no wiring. We send the guide on WhatsApp.

Site visit

Many installations can be assessed remotely from a pipe photo. A site assessment may be needed for larger lines or multi-flat projects.

Where we are

Designed and built in Hyderabad. Shipped across India in 1–2 weeks. Support on WhatsApp, Mon to Sat, 9 to 6.

Mechanical vs ultrasonic

Your mechanical meter has moving parts. Water has air.

Tanker fills and intermittent supply push air through the line. An impeller spins on air and registers it as water; it misses slow drips, and its gears drift as they wear. Wave measures with ultrasound. Nothing spins.

Ultrasonic · Digital · Standalone

Modern measurement. No moving measuring parts.

  1. Ultrasonic. No moving parts.

    Sound waves measure the flow, so there is no impeller to jam, wear or spin on air. Accuracy holds year after year.

  2. Read it on the meter.

    A clear digital LCD shows total water used in m³. No dials, no rolling digits, no app.

  3. Works offline.

    No Wi-Fi, SIM or recharge. The built-in battery powers the display for years.

  4. Fits standard plumbing.

    Threaded adapters on ½", 1" and 2" CPVC or UPVC lines. Unions on either side make removal simple.

How ultrasonic measurement works

Sound waves measure the flow. Nothing spins.

  1. Two transducers in the meter body send an ultrasonic pulse along the pipe, one with the flow, one against it.

  2. The pulse travelling with the water arrives slightly sooner. The time difference tells the meter how fast the water is moving.

  3. Flow is totalled over time and shown on the LCD as volume in cubic metres.

Cutaway of a Dhaara Wave meter: ultrasonic pulses zig-zag through the water in the measuring tube, beneath the display housing
Reading the meter

Measure usage between any two readings.

Record the meter reading at the beginning and end of a period. The difference shows the volume of water that passed through the meter during that period. One cubic metre is 1,000 litres.

ExampleVolume
Beginning of period125.000 m³
End of period137.500 m³
Consumption during period12.500 m³ · 12,500 L

A leak shows up the same way: a reading that moved when nobody used water. You see it at your next reading. Pulse sends daily usage records to your phone, which helps identify unusual consumption sooner.

Battery · Warranty · Lifespan

“What happens when the battery dies?” Here is the straight answer.

The battery is sealed inside the meter and is not user-replaceable. It is rated for 5 to 8 years of normal use. At battery end of life, the display stops and the meter is replaced using the existing compatible connections. Note the closing reading before removal and the new meter's opening reading after.

Villas · PGs & rentals · RWAs · Shops · Institutions

Built for places where someone walks up and reads the meter.

  • Homeowners & villas

    Know how much water your home uses, and when the tanker bill is wrong.

  • Landlords, PGs & rentals

    One meter per tenant line. Bill by reading, not by argument.

  • RWAs & small societies

    Split the water bill by measured use. Start with the sump inlet, add flats later.

  • Shops, offices & small businesses

    Make water usage part of your regular operating records.

  • Schools, hostels & institutions

    Understand consumption across your property, block by block.

  • Borewell, tanker & farm lines

    Check what you are paying for on a 2" line.

Not for: tank level, pump control or water quality. Wave is a flow meter. It tells you how much water passed a point in the pipe, nothing else.

Installation · Same as Dhaara Pulse

Your plumber fits it in about 30 minutes.

Dhaara Wave installs inline on a CPVC or UPVC supply line with standard threaded adapters. A plumber should confirm size, flow range and installation conditions before fitting. No power wiring is ever needed.

  1. Isolate, flush, wrap PTFEDepressurise the line and flush debris. Wrap PTFE tape clockwise on the meter’s male threads.

  2. Fit the thread adaptersHand-tighten the Female Thread Adapters, then snug with a spanner on the adapter only, never on the meter body.

  3. Solvent-weld the reducer bushCPVC primer and cement on the FTA socket and bush only. Insert fully and hold.

  4. Join the pipe, keep 10D / 5DCut square, deburr, weld into the bush. Minimum 10D straight pipe upstream, 5D downstream. Arrow points with the flow.

  5. Unions and a U-loop downstreamUnions both sides for easy removal. A U-shaped downstream run with NRV and air-release valve keeps the tube flooded.

  6. Tilt 30–90°, purge, recordMount tilted on horizontal runs or vertical flow-up. Purge air, confirm steady flow, note the opening reading.

Questions customers ask us

Your questions, in your words.

These are the questions we hear most on the phone, answered the way we answer them on the phone. If yours is missing, ask.

Forty flats with one inlet each is 40 × ₹4,599 = ₹1,83,960, one time, nothing yearly. Orders of 20 or more get project pricing on WhatsApp. Or start with one meter on the sump inlet and add flats as the association agrees.

At your next reading. Wave has no connectivity, so there is no alert. Dhaara Pulse sends daily usage records to WhatsApp, which help identify unusual consumption sooner.

Yes, one meter per inlet, ₹9,198 per flat. Add the two readings. If flats share a riser with no per-flat branch, meter the tower or sump inlet instead; we will tell you honestly if per-flat metering needs re-plumbing.

None. No subscription, SIM, app or recharge, for one meter or a hundred. ₹4,599 is the meter price; fittings and plumbing are extra.

The battery is sealed and rated for 5 to 8 years. At battery end of life, the meter is replaced using the existing compatible connections. Defects in the first year are replaced under warranty.

No. Wave is a flow meter: it tells you how much water passed through the pipe. It does not measure tank level, control pumps or test water quality.

A qualified plumber following our installation guide fits it in about 30 minutes with standard threaded adapters; we send the guide on WhatsApp. Many installations can be assessed remotely from a pipe photo; a site assessment may be needed for larger lines or projects.

Single units are available. Fit one on a flat or the sump line and read it yourself. If it does not do what we say, our return policy applies.
