What is typically monitored to assess water pressure levels?

Monitoring flow meters is essential for assessing water pressure levels. Flow meters measure the rate at which water is moving through a system, which is directly related to water pressure. When water flows smoothly under adequate pressure, it will register correctly on the flow meter. This information helps operators determine whether the pressure levels are appropriate for the delivery of water throughout the system.

In contrast, pH levels, conductivity, and temperature gauges do not directly measure water pressure. While they provide valuable information about water quality and system performance, they do not inform operators about pressure issues, which can lead to operational challenges or even system failures if pressure levels are mismatched for the intended use. Monitoring flow meters allows for timely adjustments and ensures the overall efficiency and safety of the water distribution system.
