Our Water Meter Services

Water Meter Installation

Prepaid & Private Sub-Meters

Ideal for managing water costs in rental properties and commercial spaces, reducing unpaid accounts, and cross-checking council readings.

Visit the City of Cape Town's Water Meter Readings and Tariffs page for more info about water meter readings and tariffs.

Benefits of Water Meters

Water meters accurately track water usage (measured in kilolitres) and help detect hidden leaks. For example, if the meter runs while no water is in use, there may be a leak. Learn more about water usage with the City of Cape Town Think Water Calculator.

Additional Water Services

Water Filter Systems

Monster Plumbing installs water filter systems to remove contaminants from your main water supply, providing clean, pH-balanced drinking water. We offer under-sink filter installation or can install a system you have purchased.

Greywater Systems

Greywater systems collect water from showers, baths, and basins for non-potable uses like gardening or toilet flushing. Proper design and installation are essential to handle health and safety aspects. Monster Plumbing provides safe greywater solutions for eco-friendly water management.

Rainwater Harvesting, Tanks, and Pumps

Rainwater harvesting reduces reliance on municipal water for outdoor use. We assist with tank and pump installation, gutter fitting, and water filtration. Regular tank maintenance is recommended, including debris removal and circulation for water quality. We help you choose the right one, considering height and usage points.

Water Hardness Solutions

Understanding water hardness is crucial for health and system maintenance. High mineral content can corrode pipes and reduce appliance lifespan. We can advise on treatment methods, such as reverse osmosis, and recommend regular testing for safe drinking water.
