Water Meter Antifreeze Guide

respected user:

Hello! Thank you for using the SH-METERS water meter. Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme cold weather in recent years, large-scale freezing, freezing, and cracking of surface water pipes, water tanks, and water meters have occurred, which has brought a lot of inconvenience and annoyance to the lives and work of users. Therefore, before the freezing weather arrives, we should plan ahead and protect the vulnerable parts of the water supply system in advance. Here, the customer service center of Jingda reminds customers and construction management units to prepare the tables according to the local environment, The exposed pipe sections and water meters behind the meter are well protected against frost.

The specific antifreeze measures are roughly as follows for your reference:

  Water meter antifreeze method 1:

       a: The water supply pipes and water meter facilities that are exposed outdoors or indoors next to the external wall are thickened and packed with heat insulation materials; where the meter box is ventilated, use old cotton fabrics to plug the gaps to prevent the water meter from freezing. .

   b: If the water supply facility cannot be used normally due to freezing, first wrap the faucet with a towel, etc., and then gradually spray warm water to the water pipe along the faucet to slowly thaw the water, and never use fire to grill. The gap of the water meter well is best sealed with a seal, and tightly closed to prevent cold air from entering the well.

   c: The door or window directly facing the meter well box should always be closed to prevent cold wind from blowing into the meter well or meter box.

  Water meter antifreeze method 2: For the buried surface, the overall insulation treatment of the front, back and body of the meter should be done, and yellow sand and other thermal insulation materials should be laid on the manhole cover.

  Water meter antifreeze method 3: For long-term unused or temporarily unused water meters, close the valve in front of the water meters before cold air arrives, and try to drain the water behind the water meter pipes to prevent freezing.

  Water meter antifreeze method 4: The faucet can be opened to drip water at night to promote the flow of water in the pipe and prevent freezing.

  Water meter antifreeze method 5: For uninhabited buildings or units, especially the main water inlet pipe next to the north wall, it is recommended to close the main valve and try to empty the pipe body water after entering the valve to ensure that the pipe body and water meter freeze and crack.

In addition, some water meters do not leak for the time being due to freezing due to freezing, and will start to leak after thawing when the temperature rises. Therefore, in areas where frozen and damaged water meters occur in the winter, after the temperature rises, investigation should be done in time to prevent leakage Cause loss.
