Background
Lima is Peru’s largest city and the country’s main center for residential and infrastructure development. As new apartment communities continue to expand across the metropolitan area, demand for practical and consistent residential water metering is also increasing.
For distributors supplying new housing projects, the key requirement is not just meter availability, but product fit, delivery reliability, and smooth field installation.
For this project, a distributor in Lima worked with DEAZESU to supply mechanical water meters for apartment developments across the metropolitan area.
The Challenge
The distributor needed a solution that could support large-volume residential deployment without adding unnecessary complexity at the installation stage.
The main project requirements included:
- Consistent product specification across multiple supply batches
- On-time delivery aligned with construction schedules
- Easy installation for standard apartment applications
- Reliable measurement for fairer household billing
- A practical balance of performance, durability, and cost
In residential projects, even small inconsistencies can slow installation, create rework, and increase coordination pressure for contractors and developers.
The Solution
DEAZESU supplied a combination of multi-jet and single-jet mechanical water meters matched to the project’s application.
The MJ-SDC DN15-20 multi-jet and DN15 single-jet dry dial mechanical meters were particularly suitable for apartment use because they combined dependable mechanical design, stable reading performance, and a competitive cost-to-performance profile for residential deployment.
Key Product Fit
| Feature | Application Value |
| Dry dial, sealed register | Helps maintain clear reading over time |
| Magnetic drive | Supports stable mechanical transmission |
| Brass body | Suitable for long-term residential use |
| IP68 protection | Adds protection in utility environments |
| R160 / Class B | Appropriate for residential metering needs |
| Optional AMR-ready output | Leaves room for future upgrades |
For the DN20 version, the functional parameters also matched the project well, including Q3 of 4.0 m³/h, Q4 of 5.0 m³/h, starting flow of 13.3 L/h, and low pressure loss at Q3. These characteristics supported dependable operation in apartment building service conditions, while helping the distributor provide a solution that was both accurate in use and economical to deploy at scale.
Project Results
The project ran from 2024 Q3 through 2025 Q1 and covered 12,500 units across residential developments in Lima.
The outcome was practical rather than dramatic. The distributor received a meter package that fit the application, supported phased project delivery, and remained easy for installers to work with across multiple sites.
From an end-use perspective, the supplied meters helped support individual apartment metering, giving property operators a clearer basis for unit-level consumption tracking and billing allocation.
From a commercial perspective, the project showed the value of choosing a meter that matches the job. In this case, a reliable mechanical solution was the right fit for new residential communities that needed consistency, simplicity, and scalable supply.
Customer Feedback
“For these apartment projects, we needed meters that were straightforward to install and consistent across repeated orders. The supply arrangement worked well for our schedule, and the products were a good match for residential deployment in Lima.”
