High prices for the supply of water are forcing users to save resources. Installing two water meters will greatly simplify life and help save an impressive share of the family budget. However, the installation of measuring instruments is not all, it is necessary to register the meters in the appropriate organization and carry out the sealing.
Purchase
Installation of two water meters begins with the simplest - with a purchase. You can purchase the necessary products in specialized construction stores, in online stores or even in the market. Please note that there are several types of measuring equipment of this type. Counters for cold water should only be installed on a pipe with cold water, and meters designed for hot should be installed on both cold and hot. It is important to make sure that the product does not contain factory defects, while it is advisable to give preference to trusted brands that are most often used in your area.
Each water meter must be accompanied by a passport in which the stamp of the manufacturer is mandatory. Also in the passport indicates the serial number. This set of numeric and alphabetic characters should be the same as on the counter itself. This will help to eliminate the possible purchase of fake products.
What is included?
When buying, you must also check the equipment. As a rule, in self-respecting stores, the delivery set includes the meters themselves, as well as fittings, rubber gaskets, filters and taps necessary for installation. If the kit is incomplete, it is best to refuse to purchase and purchase meters in another place. In order to check the operability of the product, it should be sent for verification to the appropriate company. If as a result of verification it turns out that the device is defective, the seller must replace it with a new one or return the money.
Who is authorized to carry out the installation?
Installation of two water meters, cold and hot, must be carried out by a qualified technician. The work can be performed by a plumber from the management company responsible for your home, as well as a private foreman or commercial organization. If you have experience and the necessary knowledge, the installation can be done by the owner of the house on his own. After installing the devices, you should contact the water utility and invite a specialist to seal the meter and remove the control indicators.
