City West Water has been working with Siemens for more than a decade to install SITRANS F M MAG 8000 water meters at high-consumption sites and in fire service applications where sprinklers or fire tanks are involved.
In mid-2015, the company placed an order with Siemens for 18 meters in size DN150, pushing their total installed base to more than 1000.
“Not only are we fully satisfied with the accurate and stable performance of the MAG 8000, but we’re also very happy with the consistently high level of customer service we receive from Siemens.”

Improved accuracy. The MAG 8000 measures flow at a very high accuracy of 0.4%, drastically reducing unaccounted-for water usage and providing more precise billing for customers.
Obstruction-free operation. The full-bore MAG 8000 never obstructs flow and delivers water without any significant drop in pressure.
Low maintenance. With a battery that can operate continuously for 6 years and no moving parts to wear down over time, the MAG 8000 is a truly low-maintenance meter. Several layers of security help to safeguard the MAG 8000 against tampering.
Easier to use. The MAG 8000 features a very intuitive and user-friendly display with only a single push button.
