Most digital meters have a sensor that detects changes in magnetic field fir the meter.

I find it funny that cities in the states get FREE electric/water but we the people ARE CHARGED outrageous amounts of currency. These companies DO NOT shut the city street lights/public buildings off so why not funnel my tax money to pay for my usage AKA FREE TO ME THE TAX PAYER.

How about plastic metal water readers?

That is a tiny magnet. You probably need a bigger round one from China. It still doesn't seem to work with some meters without a visible metal shell. The magnet to be attracted and held is at the bottom of the meter away from the face plate, and the magnetic force has to reach there stronger than the other magnet that turns it.

Cool! Thanks for the hack!

Where do u get the magnetic from

Sir what process for meter reading digit up/ down

Haha!! I have no idea how this video came to my feed but I like it. So many worked up people. Keep doing you man. These agencies have so much money I doubt you stealing will make any difference. The nice guy always finishes last 👍 thanks for sharing.

Good to know, gonna try that next summer when I fill up my pool

What is the cost if this magnet

Thanks I’m going to try this next week when they finish my pool

It didn’t work for my digital meter

I need some help with a tampered meter and main shut off water valve broken😢.water damage to house

Will this work in Philly

are you selling those magnets?

Just steal it, right I see so simple..🤣❤️

A brother how do u turn the water on if it’s off

Thank you!!!!

Was this a plastic meter

Any updates?

How do you hack a kamstrup water meter too..

Mines not digital

Where it will get

so sad, water companies, do compensate their lost via "Generation Loss" where they burden it to us consumers.

depending on the tech in the meter u set off the tamper alarm and yea getting caught up could result in some fines especially after posting the vid on youtube lol but hey filled up an above ground pool for free

does this work with smart meters im in the uk they just came and fitted 1

Thanks

Love you, lol.

What time of magnet should i use?

its work for honeywell elster 150 ???

Commit a crime, film it, and then post it for others to see. Genius.

im surprised this works, usually the coupling magnets are buried deep in the center of the meter and it would take a tremendous magnetic field to affect them

The utility isn't eating your theft. Your neighbors are paying for it

Would this work to all electric meters ??? Mine is French one and it’s new but I’ll try and will let u all know

Why is your meter just sitting there exposed in the bushes? It’s supposed to be in a meter box.

I work for a water company and now we will receive an alert when the meter is read. For us, we will pull your meter and apply some penalties. It’s easier to just pay your bill and be honest.

I work for the water department where for the county that I live in if we catch something like this it is a tamper fee for stealing water which is about 60 dollars

How to trick the non digital meter??

Please where can I get that kind of magnet you have?

Water should be free

Does this work on any water metre

Since when have I been subbed

Here in philippines. I know that they changed the gear into plastic. So that it wont be attracted to magnets

Konark water meter

That's called steeling

Not sure about RG3 meter in particular and this electronic register but magnets do not make a difference in static flowmeters...The magenetic may look like its stopping the counting but the magnetic only affects the screen display. Internally it keeps counting...Additionally, this magnetic he using is very small and typically takes a much larger one to truly stop the internal magnetic if the meter has one and that only works on mechanical type meters. Not to mention the potential for fines and violating law if caught..Yes, some do get caught...Then the water provider just cuts off your water.

Will this work with analog meters

Thanks for your vedio how can I find same magnets?

Hey dude, did you know that these meters have magnet sensor? All of them have it. You are screwed now LOL. They will know exactly how much time magnet was attached. Of course it depends if they are smart and how they prepare bills, but 10000% meter collects such data. Then they can count the teoretical amount of water you could use with the maximum flow over that time, or simply tell you to pay the amount of water that is missing on their main meter. Have a nice day

Does this work on all water meters

This dude is on another level. Genius!

This doesn't work with the new meters, already tried.

Is it work?

They will see this and prosecute you, don't do it

Lol but can't they tell in real-time that you haven't used any water in 29 days (assuming you take it off for a few days per month) and that the usage is abnormally low (for an advanced meter)? Even if you put it on as a brand new resident on day 1, using 1/30th of the gallons that most residents in the area use would be pretty suspicious. I think it would only work on old water meters that don't detect magnets, and don't tell how much water is used earlier than the month like in real-time or shorter intervals than monthly. And you would have to do it so that your water usage is maybe half or so from the start and not extremely less than the average resident. But I suppose you could argue if you just bought the property that you didn't know there was a magnet on it and that the previous owner must have put it on. But they could take a look at the usage from the previous owner to see if that seems like it is true. I suppose they would also not know who did it, like the husband or the wife, but they would assume someone in the household did at some point and could probably just charge the household extra. How much would be hard to determine.

most water providers are moving towards non-mechanical meters anyways, so this so called "hack" wont matter as the new meters are non affected by this type of tampering.

Man, really thank you! I love matha fuqas like you!! We gotta buck this messed up system we are forced to live in any way we can!

good luck

I tried with an N52 magnet and it did not work. Why didn't it work?

not working

Have people gone to jail for doing this if they get caught?

Imagine if all people starting doing this, the municipality would lose millions of litres which would eventually bankrupt them to provide water to all the rest of people that are not crooks. This is why they raise prices of water to compensate the millions they lose already, why aid it. If you want a pool pay for your water or rain harvest rather. Rain harvesting doesn't get you arrested

How to "steal". Not "free".

Home Depot has small very strong magnets...don't ask me the price.

So then just resort to thievery. This person should be arrested.

Hi effective dn po ba yan sa Velocity water meter?? Thank you.

Orale

This is a great example about how not to upload a video. Spend a few extra seconds and plan a little. Tons of pointless footage. No explanation of what type of magnet, meter etc. Crikey.

Water is free nature tells us so

Isn't this stealing? It is stealing from all share holders of the water company.

Theft of service is a crime and meters will let the water dept know if it is tampered with.

Your such a crook.. my hero

If you get caught it can be a federal offense... All public and private utilities are governed by Homeland security....

Arwesoms video I pooped Alof

This is theft ….

Thief!

It’s so sad you can’t afford water and you have to put a magnet on it ☹️

Common thief!

So this is called theft - but whatever

This is stealing and you make a video?

Thief

The magnet didn't stop the meter
