The water meter is an object closely connected to the life of every person. It concerns every user, whether we have to pay extra money in our household expenses, and is deeply linked to our family and personal financial interests.
This is why the job of the meter reader was created. Their primary tasks include recording the data on the water meter, checking the meter itself and its surroundings for any abnormalities, and ensuring the meter's measurement is accurate and aligns with the water price.
In this process, contact with residents and households is unavoidable, and sometimes, unpleasant situations occur. Especially in previous years, meter readers had to visit homes to read the meters. Many people disliked this method of working, and the popular internet meme, "Open the door, checking the water meter," also originated from that period.
At that time, an in-home meter reading required both the reader and the resident to be highly alert and focused, lest an error lead to conflicts, disputes, or financial loss.
However, with the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the introduction and promotion of "meters outside the home," and "one meter per household," the work of meter readers has become less difficult in recent years. They no longer need to knock, visit, and wait for people to open the door; they can complete the reading in a designated location.
Yet, this does not mean the reading environment has significantly improved. On the contrary, the reading environment in many cities and regions remains poor, but this often fails to draw the attention of relevant authorities.
At this point, some people might think, "So what if the work environment is a bit tough? Why complain? My job isn't easy either."
If you think this way, you're dead wrong!
A poor meter-reading environment doesn't just mean the meter reader is working under harsh conditions; more importantly, it means the water meters in every household are placed in an unreasonable environment—one that lacks sufficient protection and suitable conditions! This can easily cause all sorts of problems with the water meter!
Space:This means the meter is in a location that is very narrow, cramped, or suspended. This makes the reading work incredibly difficult, and if the meter breaks down, it becomes much harder to replace or repair.
Environment:The meter's surrounding environment is too damp, difficult to clean, etc. These conditions shorten the meter's service life, leading to early problems that affect usage, such as leakage, being easily stolen, and inaccurate billing or measurement.
Use of Low-Quality Materials:Some developers cut corners to save money by using subpar water meters or compressing the space where the meter is located, causing difficulties for residents in later use.
No matter which of these three situations you encounter, as a resident, you are usually unable to resolve the issue immediately.
Therefore, for both residents and developers, the best approach is to select a smart water meter with better quality that is anti-theft, anti-leak, and has pre-payment functionality, fundamentally solving the problem.
