    And where does this water go in the thermostatic battery?

    From a higher pressure pipe to a lower pressure pipe. One counter goes forward and the other goes backwards.

    Well... I guess.
    Was it the plumber (or administrator) who didn't notice the second meter? The description of the topic does not indicate two circuits.

    Not with the water consumption that the author of the topic gives.
    Interesting fact: This morning, inspired by the topic, I looked carefully into the shell and ..... it leaks, a weak stream, but you don't have to put your finger in to notice it when you look carefully for a moment. I run to the basement to the main meter (we settle 14 premises, only 3 have sub-meters) and it turns out that this minimal leak does not touch the meter, the circle stands still when no one collects.

    There is no author, so the topic and our inquiries/research have reached the toilet.

    If there were two separate meters for hot and cold water, the author would pay less - more for cold but much less for more expensive hot.

    Good comment. :!:
    Thanks to the author, I noticed and removed the leak. :D

    And why should the pressure on the hot one be constantly lower than on the cold one, both go from the same pipe, although the heat flows through the exchanger (higher flow resistance), but when there is no water intake, the pressures equalize and the circulation system slightly increases the pressure on the hot one. In my opinion, the lower pressure will be once on the hot side once on the cold side, depending on where the consumption is higher at the moment.

    Someone up there wrote that there is a difference, but it's not true, you're right.
    The same cold water from the same pipe, the main inflow, is only heated in the heating node/exchanger, and hence warm, so where would the pressure difference come from, unless only related to the consumption.

    There are apartments that have cold and hot water supplied. Usually, these are premises close to power plants and other sources of heat. Waste heat is used to heat water and distribute it to consumers.
    But Zosia is not here, and we are speculating. I hope it wasn't the bailiff who cut her off from the net for arrears :)

    This water circulates in central heating radiators and heat exchangers and then returns to the combined heat and power plant. It is softened to prevent scaling in district heating pipelines and therefore more expensive than tap water. The pressure in the heating network is higher than in the water supply network to prevent tap water from entering the heating network in the event of exchanger corrosion. Hot tap water (hot water) is cold tap water heated in the exchanger and flows into the sewage system after use. I haven't heard about the heat and power plant providing hot water

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing inexplicably high water meter readings despite no apparent water usage or leaks in their apartment. After replacing the water meter, the issue persists, leading to concerns about potential hidden leaks or incorrect installations. Various suggestions are made, including checking for leaks in the cistern, inspecting the plumbing for unauthorized connections, and monitoring the meter's behavior when valves are closed. Participants emphasize the importance of thorough inspections and documentation to address the issue with the building administration and potentially seek legal recourse for the excessive charges.
