The faucet is dripping. Will the water meter at home work? Unexpectedly, some people want to save water bills
Have you ever encountered dripping faucets at home?
Sometimes the faucet in our home is broken. If it is not closed tightly, there will be dripping problems, but some people do it deliberately.
So why would someone do this on purpose?
Some friends think that when the faucet is dripping, the water meter at home does not move, and they think that if we collect the water dripping from the faucet bit by bit, we can save water bills.
(Regardless of whether this behavior can save water bills, it is an unethical behavior. I advise everyone not to follow it.)
If the faucet is dripping, will the water meter at home run? Unexpectedly, some people want to save water bills through this!
Do you think that this way you can pluck wool and save water bills? In fact, they are all wrong.
l Old-fashioned mechanical water meters will not be accounted for when water drips
The reason why some people want to use this method to achieve the purpose of saving water bills is because some old-fashioned mechanical water meters will indeed not be accounted for when water drips from the faucet. It's free.
Because this kind of mechanical water meter rotates through the gear inside the water meter, the response is relatively slow. If the water flow is very small, it cannot drive the gear to rotate, which means that the water meter will not move and billing will not occur. problem.
It is precisely because some old-fashioned mechanical water meters do not charge when the faucet is dripping, so some friends think that doing so can save water bills.
But in fact, this approach no longer works.
l The new water meter will be billed even if it drips
The old mechanical water meter does have inaccurate billing, and now the vast majority of water companies have chosen to replace the old mechanical water meter with the current one New water meter.
The sensitivity of the new water meter is much higher than that of the mechanical water meter.
Most residential buildings now use new water meters. This new type of water meter does not bill through gears, but drives the billing blades to rotate through the water flow, thereby driving the pointer parameters.
So even a drop of water can drive the pointer of the water meter to rotate.
Maybe when the faucet is dripping a little, the water meter pointer changes very little, and we may not notice it, but it does not mean that there is no accounting, all the water flow will be accumulated little by little.
Therefore, if you want to save water bills by dripping water from the faucet, it will not work at all, and this approach is not very ethical, so I advise you not to have such little thoughts.
l Possible hidden dangers of dripping faucets
If the faucets in our home are constantly dripping, there will also be some hidden dangers, which are likely to affect our normal use, so when encountering this kind of problem, everyone still needs to deal with it in time deal with.
First of all, if the faucet at home is dripping all the time, it may cause damage to the faucet itself, causing the faucet to be unable to function normally.
If the faucet in our home keeps dripping, it will be difficult to completely tighten the faucet after a long time, because the faucet has been damaged, and even if we tighten it hard, there will still be a problem of continuous dripping.
If the faucet keeps dripping when we are not at home, then the water can only be wasted in vain, but it will consume more water bills.
Therefore, if the faucet in your home is dripping or cannot be tightened, you must replace it in time and do not ignore it.
Secondly, water dripping from the faucet for a long time may also cause damage to the furniture and floors at home, affecting our lives.
If the faucet in our home keeps dripping and we don’t pay attention, then over time it is likely that the water in the pool will overflow, which may affect the furniture and floors in our home, and may even slow down the water. It slowly seeps into the neighbors' homes downstairs and has a certain impact on their lives.
Even if we use some tools to catch the water from the faucet, the constant dripping sound will have a certain impact on our lives, especially when sleeping at night. If the faucet at home keeps dripping, it will also cause People find it extremely annoying.
Summary:
In summary, if you want to achieve the purpose of saving water bills by dripping water from the faucet, it will definitely not work. This approach not only does not save water bills, but may also damage the home. Faucets have an impact on our lives.
Therefore, if the faucet in your home is malfunctioning and dripping continuously, you must seize the time to repair or replace the faucet with a new one.
