Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| Beluga operating range | -4 to 122°F, ±1% zero stability | Badger Meter — Level Monitoring (SmartCover ecosystem) |
| Beluga measurement | Bi-directional (relevant to tidal-influenced or surcharged sewer flow) | Badger Meter — Level Monitoring (SmartCover ecosystem) |
| Netafim WST accuracy/size | ±2%, 3"-12" | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
| Netafim WST construction | Double magnetic transmission — only the impeller contacts water, gears sealed dry, handles high sand loads | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
| Netafim WMR accuracy/size | ±2%, 2", in-line axial turbine, passes foreign matter without clogging | Netafim USA — Wastewater Subsurface Drip Dispersal |
WST's double magnetic transmission design — only the impeller contacts the water while the drive gears stay sealed dry — is a direct answer to the sand/grit loading common in municipal reuse and collection-system water, a failure point for meters where the gear train itself sits in the flow.
A water meter that clogs on grit or debris in a wastewater-adjacent reuse line is a maintenance callback waiting to happen — Netafim's WST Series isolates its gear train from the water entirely via double magnetic transmission specifically to survive high sand loads, and Badger Meter's Beluga measures bi-directionally for the surcharged or tidal-influenced flow a straight unidirectional meter would misread.
