Neptune T-10 Water Meter Replacements
Neptune Technology Group has been manufacturing the T-10 standard positive displacement bronze water meter since 1892! It has been the utility industry’s favorite meter throughout its long history.
The standard direct-read model T-10 has been one of Submeter Solutions’ best-selling meters for many years. Unfortunately, Neptune has not been able to keep up with the demand for its meters. As of November 2022, lead times are out longer than 26 weeks.
In addition to the news of shortages and long lead times, Neptune has also recently announced that they will be discontinuing the Direct Read version of the T-10 Water Meter. All T-10 models will only be sold with their AMR-compatible registers like ProCoders or E-Coders at a higher price than the Direct Read models.
The good news is that Submeter Solutions stocks many brands and models of water meters that are great alternatives to the Neptune T-10 Direct Read. We would like to introduce you to some of these other water meter options if you need a new direct-read water meter.
Here is a summary of what is the same to the Neptune T-10:
- All are ⅝” x ¾” bronze water meters that are outdoor “pit-rated” meters and have a standard length of 7.5 inches, making them interchangeable with the Neptune T-10.
- All are “utility grade” and conform to AWWA C700 accuracy standards.
- All are lead-free per NSF-61 requirements.
- All are NTEP-certified and can be used in those states like California and Massachusetts that required this certification.
- All have an easy-to-read register that measures in US Gallons.
- All are offered at price points that are comparable to the Neptune T-10.
- All of these meters are in stock at Submeter Solutions.
- Many of these meters also come standard with pulse output that can be used for any future upgrades to a remote reading system.
