Water Meter Functionality: Smallest Shield Rotation, Document Legalization & Exchange Costs

Question

Hello.
I have a problem with water meters, and I noticed that sometimes the smallest shield revolves. One way and one way back.
I was in the administration but found that checking the water meter is 500 PLN if it turns out to be working.
Should I get a document confirming the legalization of the device during the exchange by the administrator?
I attach a video:

A check valve should be mounted on the pipe in front of the water meter.

There was once a similar topic. There it turned out that there is a hydrophore in the block and the activation of the pumps caused pressure jumps. If it does not fill you with a water meter, do not worry.

Michelson · Answer

Normal phenomenon when fluctuating the pressure in the network. Traces of air in the installation behind the water meter, or even rubber hoses work under the influence of pressure changes, hence the water movements in the installation. There is nothing to worry about.

It's just that while no one was there for 5h, this movement shot almost 3 liters of water. The valve before the water meter is.

Adamcyn · Answer

For me, the same. I would like to remind you that the counters should be replaced or legalized every 5 years.

That is about 0.4 m3 per month.
Is it always like this?
Everything is tight with you, nothing drips?

emswisnia · Answer

I have been looking at installations today and I do not see water running away somewhere. All the more as it dripped it would be heard.
After exchanging the water meter, the consumption of water suddenly came. As in the summer season when the garden needs to be watered, the maximum consumption was 12m but there were hot weather.
On the old consumption for two people was close to 9 or 10m.
After replacing with a new one for the first two months, it drove 11m and now as much as 17m. Where was the winter period so the water in the yard was not used.

I wanted to report it to pgk but there are only wise heads and immediately scare 500 PLN. As I asked for confirmation of the meter's approval, you said that I would give the seal at home on the screws.

Adamcyn · Answer

Use a 5 or 10 liter bucket to pre-check the meter. Of course, it can be a weight that will indicate 5 or 10 kg, respectively.

emswisnia · Answer

I made a test with a liter of water. I just got a graduation bottle. Before pouring a liter of water Here, after pouring a liter of water into the bottle.

xury · Answer

It comes from the fact that it distorts 100ml per liter. It's 1000 liters on the subway.

Ryszard49 · Answer

xury 1 m3 is 1000 liters.

maurycy123 · Answer

Rather 100 liters. The error is 10% and not 100% The test per liter of water is not good. Smaller errors may result in larger measurement errors. Using 10 liters, it may suddenly turn out that the measurement error is 1% and not 10%. But you have to check it out. You could start pouring water at a lower water pressure in the network. After pouring a liter of water into the bottle, the pressure grew slightly. And that caused a measurement error.

gimak · Answer

Differences in the indications of old and new water meters may result from a different threshold from which they start to count. The meter for individual settlements, according to the standard (I have read so) should start at 20 liters / hour. For me, for example, the old meter moved at a flow of 10 liters, and the new one at a flow of 17-18 liters. The ingenious tenants use it for saving differently and hence large water shortages result later.
Counters with a lower threshold will also be more sensitive to rapid fluctuations in water pressure (forward and reverse movements shown in the film).

Adamcyn · Answer

The counter showed consumption of 1.12 l (+ 12%) Measure at least 5 liters.

kierbedz4 · Answer

The ball valve before the meter is not subject to discussion but behind the ball valve should just be mounted check valve that will work only when you draw water when there is no intake the valve will not allow any movements of the water meter tip.
