Very informative. ..I read my meter because I often get estimated bills and if you read your own meter you know how much water you use and get correct bills...

"Good value"? Water is god given, fair enough paying for the delivery system but nothing more tbh. Helpful video!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I turned my stopcock off when we went on holiday recently. When I turned it back on I have developed a dripping leak. Great tip about isolating the meter. Got plumber coming today. Hopefully he can fit a lever isolating valve under the sink as I don't have great dexterity in my hands.

Very clear and easy to understand. Thank you.

Excellent video. The only thing (perhaps) you could have mentioned was the 'spinny thing' that shows if you have water flowing at that moment. It's a useful indicator.

Great video, helped me out with a outrageous bill. Turns out had a leak

it is good that you mentioned, to turn off the water supply when you go away, for awhile, especially in the winter, I went to a ground floor maisonette, and there was water coming through the ceiling from above, the water had frozen, and then when it melted, it had burst the water supply pipe above, but the people upstairs had gone away on holiday, so I could not access it, to turn the water supply off. it would have been good to turn the water off, and drained the stored water,,,, or left the heating on, just at 5 degrees, to protect the water, and the people down stairs, who lost thier ceiling etc. I wish my ground water level was high constantly, and my home would not be subsiding, and cracking up. thanks for your straight forward info.

Nice one thank you for showing me!

Very useful video

Nicely done sir.

You think that there isn't much to reading a meter but then you realise there's stuff you didn't know. Thanks

Great video sir thank you👍

I take a photo of my meter once a month so I have evidence of the readings; it only takes a minute and prevents misreadings etc. Someone I know had a leak which just flowed into the WC bowl in the spare loo. The meter reading was estimated for months and they got a real shock when they got the bill based on an actual reading. The water company were not interested!

Thanks Vince 👌🏻

Thank you : )

🔦= Torch🤣😃🤷🏿First time hearing That....Great Vid though

So if I turned off the water from valve outside my path at the meter (external valve) could the meter reading ever increase with that valve turned off completely? Many thanks x

great

How do we manage the water which condenses on the lens of the meter

If you had a leak would the white “cog” below the “8” be turning?

Thanku thanku I really appreciate for your effort however I got a question I am with themes water 2017 got a bill of 240 didn't even used a single of water I spoke to them they overfed me to pay 122 OK find paid. Now they sent me 420 for a whole Yr. I am staying with mum all day and night and my sister house I do flash toilet may be once a month. No shower no washing machine. No heating or boiler nothing at all. I buy water to drink But my water meter keep going around number is changing every week is ds how it should be there isn't any leak inside the house and my meter is based under sink

Vince, I live in a block of flats and I've noticed my water bill for this year has shot through the roof. I want to take a meter reading, but there are 8 meters outside my property and the serial numbers are illegible on all of them, so I've no idea which is mine and Wessex Water have been fuck all help. Have you got any suggestions as to how I can figure out which one's mine? Cheers!

At 5:13 Did you turn the stop cock counter clockwise to shut off the water ?

God I thought my meter was bit tricky to access (it's quite deep down)...I lucked out with no flooding on top of it

Hi. can u open the lid of this...mine is so scratched I cant see the reading

I actually photograph the meter reading to make sure I've got evidence and it can't be misread.

are you still selling the cables ,mr telephone site keeps sayin on hols back soon.?

I have a digital water meter. There are NO red numbers (they are all black). The numbers are 000001,653 So do I just write down all the numbers that are BEFORE the comma, like this 000001 ??

GREATdont forget to put all numbers left to right not including the red dials but including the zeros or you might get charged for 58000 cube

Your reading should be entered as 00580 not 580

My place isn't metered yet I wonder if Id save money or not..I just get a standard bill of £31.67 a month regardless of how much or little I use.

I don't use water in the house but. Why my meter number keep changing going up and bill going uo

My stopcock, is always in in something wet too.

It is the most crap meter placement ever, i have the same and i spent a day try to find it

Not a good idea to use a sponge to take dirty water out. My occupation is a meter reader and sometimes their can be needles down there discarded by addicts and also water born diseases. Only use a pump to pump water out.

Its not good value, since you have to accept the water they supply you whether you can afford it or not, as they will not turn off your supply and in the uk you have absolutely no alternative, but to just keep paying regardless of whether you are happy with your supplier or not. I might add the boss of thames water earns in excess of 1million a year. and it rises annually along with your bill.

I got stam in Glasgow I told water 💧 company wave thay told me I have to pay water company ( 150 pounds for her to fixing

My pavement water meter is full of earth and an ant nest with eggs! I am with Northumbrian Water, what should I do❓🤷
