In order for you to always have water in your house, you need to pay for it on time. Naturally, for this you need to know how much liquid you have used up and how much one used cube costs. Although a lot of people do not specifically install such a device. If you have one, then you should know how to read water meters.
It should be noted that modern devices can have either 8 or 9 numbers on the scoreboard. Several numbers are located on a red background, they indicate liters of liquid, and the rest are on black (these are cubic meters). Before reading water meters, take a look at the last 3 dark numbers.
There are several ways to perform the procedure. For example, you can take readings every month by comparing the previous and latest figures and subtracting their difference. The number of units that you used is multiplied by the cost of one cubic meter. Moreover, the indicators can either be independently attributed to the water utility department, or sent via the Internet (telephone). Although there is still a practice of filling out subscriber books, which are periodically checked by specialistsEIRC.
Before taking readings of water meters, choose the most convenient way for you. In any case, the procedure provides only a visual capture of the data. It should be noted that self-transmission of testimony can be carried out with certain errors or errors. The fact is that sometimes apartment owners try to underestimate the amount of water used in order to pay less.
Since specialists practically cannot take readings of water meters (the device is inside the house), try to mark cubic meters correctly and as accurately as possible. In addition to the presented method, there are other methods for carrying out the procedure. For example, remote transmission of indicators. However, this requires a modern counter that is capable of sending such a signal. The presented device with sensors has a rather high cost, and not all settlements have implemented such a technology.
You can also automatically read water meters. To do this, you need to install a device with a pulse output. Although you can buy a device that will have everything prepared for this option, however, the main elements of the technology are still missing. If necessary, they can be easily installed. In this case, the indicators are taken in a certain period of time (every month, half a year) and sent to the dispatcher. However, in such systems, failures very often occur, which can be caused bya banal little closure.
You can also send device data over a specific low power radio channel. This also requires a special device. The presented new methods for controlling water consumption are still little used, so you should not install such devices yourself - it will be more expensive.
Now you know how to take water meter readings. Good luck to you!
