How Professional Plumbers Handle Water Meter Setups

water meter

A water meter measures how much water you use in a given period. The water company notes the meter reading and charges you for that usage. This makes a water meter an important part of your plumbing system. Every property needs to install a water meter before water is made available.

Consumers always fear being overcharged for their water use. This fear is misplaced if you have installed a good quality water meter that calculates the consumed quantity of water accurately. At SPS Plumbers Inner West, we provide high-grade Water meter setups services and can handle the job quickly and efficiently.

Water Meters: Some Facts

Do you know that different types of water meters are available in the market? Just as their operating systems differ, so do their prices. You can always choose a water meter that suits your needs in terms of water consumption and budget. Water companies install standard meters during plumbing installation. We help to install a standard meter for you and can also provide an upgrade that suits your requirements.

Our expert plumbers explain in detail the advantages and disadvantages of different water meters to help you make the right choice. It is important to know that water meters require regular maintenance to function efficiently. A consumer is responsible for the regular maintenance of the installed water meter. If the water meter stalls or shows incorrect readings due to the lack of regular maintenance, its replacement is your responsibility.

The Meter Installation Process

As a rule, we follow the guidelines laid down by the company for water meter setups. It ensures that the installation is according to the standard decided by the water company and the system works without any faults. Here are the meter installation steps we follow:

  • Your home plumbing system joins the main at the boundary wall of your property. The meter will be installed within 1 meter of the boundary wall.
  • Our expert plumbers ensure that a meter is fitted at the right angle with the mains.
  • At least 150mm of ground clearance supports the meter. It won’t be placed higher than the standard 300mm.

  • We also explain the maintenance procedure in detail to help you maintain the water meter properly.
