How to maintain smart water meters after installation to extend their service life?

Smart water meters are an indispensable piece of equipment in modern family life. Owning a smart water meter not only makes our lives more convenient and smooth, but also brings us many invisible benefits that are not directly observable.

For instance, before the advent of smart water meters, to reconcile the water consumption data for every household, meter readers had to visit each home individually to read the meter. Although this practice was common, the meter reader's visit was not always a pleasant experience for users.

On the one hand, manual verification of numbers is prone to errors, so some users are always uneasy, fearing the meter reader might make a mistake.

On the other hand, such an operation process has low security, as some unscrupulous individuals might take advantage of the meter reader's identity to commit crimes, and most people do not know how to distinguish a genuine meter reader from a fake one.

The problems mentioned above were immediately solved when the smart water meter came into being, because a smart water meter does not require a dedicated person to read it; it can directly transmit the user's water consumption data remotely to the water supply agency. This not only makes data acquisition fast, accurate, and precise, but also possesses characteristics that manual meter reading cannot: timeliness, clarity, ease of viewing, and high security.

Because of these advantages, smart water meters were instantly sought after by the vast majority of users upon their release. So, for such a useful smart water meter, how should we maintain and care for it during daily use?

1. Keep away from corrosive substances: In particular, prevent these substances from seeping into the interior of the smart water meter, as once they seep in, they can easily cause irreparable damage to the internal electronic components.

2. Avoid bumps, scratches, and collisions: It is best to prevent these situations, as scratches, bumps, or collisions can easily cause damage, cracks, or deformation to the outer casing of the smart water meter. This indirectly exposes internal components to the external environment, increasing the risk of corrosion to the meter and affecting its accuracy and daily use.

3. Timely clear the filter screen of debris: After a period of use, the filter screen in front of the water meter should be regularly checked. If debris is found, it should be promptly cleaned to prevent the debris on the screen from altering the speed and direction of the water flow, which would affect the accuracy of the water meter.
