Why There Is Idle Operation In the Water Meter?

Why there is idle operation in the water meter?

Unreasonable pipeline laying method

After eliminating the above items, the problem has not been resolved. It is recommended to observe whether the pipeline has flipped up and down, there are too many bends, and there are local π - shaped laying, as well as whether the water resistance pressure is low or unstable. Firstly, solve the problem of water pressure; Secondly, correct unreasonable pipeline laying methods; Then carry out air bleeding, and the problem of water meter idling will generally be solved.

Is there a secondary water supply facility available?

When encountering large areas and multiple households idling, it is necessary to check whether there are secondary water supply facilities in the community and whether there are sudden fluctuations in water pressure.

If there is a secondary water supply facility, first disconnect it, especially close the inlet valve of the reservoir, and observe the changes in water pressure and idle operation of the pipeline network. If the water pressure is stable and the idle operation stops, it is necessary to refer to the community pipeline diagram to see if the design is standardized, whether the laying complies with relevant technical regulations, and whether the water storage time meets the requirements. After checking and rectifying each item, the idle operation problem will generally be solved.

If the secondary water supply facility continues to idle after being disconnected, it is necessary to perform air release treatment on the fire hydrant in the community until the accumulated gas is eliminated and the idle operation stops.

For this phenomenon of "water meter idle charging", the OR automatic exhaust valve can be used to solve the problem. By installing the OR automatic exhaust valve at the highest point of the system, the problem can be solved. If the user does not frequently reside at home and the air in the pipeline cannot be eliminated in a timely manner, it will cause the water meter to swing forward and backward, resulting in idle operation. In this case, the owner can negotiate with the local water company to install a one-way valve. After installing a new water meter, if it is not in use or has not entered the household, the valve in front of the water meter should be closed to prevent losses caused by damage to the meter or downstream pipelines.

So some people may ask, who will bear the cost of the water meter idling?

Is the water meter sealed with lead?

If the lead seal of the water meter is passively sealed, in this case, the water meter will idle, and the losses will usually be borne by the owner themselves; If the lead seal of the water meter has not been passively sealed and the water meter is idling, the owner can first report to the property or water company, and the property or water company will compensate the owner for this part of the loss according to relevant regulations.
