FAQs

What does 'Class B R80' mean?

Class B R80 is a European standard for the accuracy class of water meters. It indicates a specific level of precision for measuring water flow rates under defined conditions.

Is this meter suitable for main water supply lines?

This meter is designed as a secondary meter for residential applications, often used for sub-metering specific outlets or for tracking non-essential water usage. It may not be intended as a primary meter for the entire household's main supply, depending on local regulations.

What is the expected lifespan of the Primaflow Water Meter?

Built with durable materials, the meter is designed for long-term use in residential settings. However, lifespan can vary based on water quality and usage intensity. Regular checks are recommended.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Standard plumbing tools, such as pipe wrenches and appropriate fittings, are typically required. Professional installation by a plumber is recommended to ensure proper fit and prevent leaks.

Can this meter be used outdoors?

The meter is designed for residential plumbing and can be installed in various locations, including outdoor spigots, provided it is protected from extreme weather conditions and physical damage.

How do I read the meter?

The meter typically features a dial or digital display that shows the cumulative volume of water that has passed through it. Read the numbers from left to right to get the total measurement.

Troubleshooting

Meter is not rotating or showing flow.

Verify that the water supply is fully open and that there are no blockages or airlocks in the line.

Inconsistent or inaccurate readings.

Ensure the meter is installed in the correct orientation and that there are no significant vibrations or external forces affecting it. Check for debris within the meter's impeller mechanism if accessible and safe to do so.

Turn off the water supply and re-tighten or replace the fittings and seals. Ensure thread sealant or tape is used correctly.
