I know this is 6yrs ago but I really wanna help my dad out it’s super hot and he’s giving up he used the liquid Algae and it’s supposed to spread and he’ll have to clean the filter but he say it comes back the next day again
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.
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.
I was wondering about that. I live in NY and they attached a plastic meter wired onto my metal meter inside my house (not the one outside). My water bill is a few hundred dollars per month!!! What do are they thinking with the economy the way it is. I'm at my witts.
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.
News today water companies gave £1.8 Billion to shareholders meanwhile dumping millions of gallons of sewerage into our rivers and onto our beaches. Now because it is main news these same companies are going to fix the dumping and charge customers even more to cover the expenses. How much do you think the water companies will be giving to shareholders next year ? This is sanctioned daylight robbery !!
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
I love how this govt drone says "IF" we catch something. Lets me know they have to actually drive out and find something wrong. Easy to work around that.
@@4kgamingerikchannel661 Snow? In a place based off of Miami? Wha- what? And second, rain doesn't effect performance. It's purely cosmetic. Third, Support has been shut down since June 2020. If this is a troll, it's a really shitty troll and you need to try harder.
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
@@timostimostimostimos don't agree because it takes funds to process the millions of litres consumed by us. It should be priced well but it's a business transaction in the end. Someone cleans it and gets it to you and should be compensated for their actions. If you want free water go to the nearest river and collect it. If you were being charged to collect water water from a local river I would stand by your statement as no one has played a part in getting that water to your tap, so you don't have to walk to a river.
Not yet it doesn't. But just wait for it. Corporations looking to find ways to continue their growth are coming up with novel ways to wring money out of people. Privatization of water resources has already started for ground water. I won't be surprised when they start grabbing up rights to the rain before it reaches the ground.
Not to mention what's being put into the water for it to be classed as so-called "clean" water.. I may be of a rugged nature, but I prefer dirt mixed with some deer piss n shit in my drinking water rather than the manmade byproducts of whom specialist make out to be beneficial.. even with rotten teeth and a few missing your smile is and always will be beautiful regardless, it's the prospect of expressing that smile in your later years is what is more of my concern.. peace, love & prosperity to all.. (Don't get me started on the electricity buzz..)
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
Yes...we/I designed in a hall effect sensor just for this reason. It sends a flag to the server or the drive-by system. That said, I'm not sure what the utility would do IF they have that option turned on.
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.
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.
Bury a very strong Neodymium magnet near the device (it would be detectable) or use a switched electromagnetic coil to stop it when ever you want. Like when you fill a swimming pool!
Ah yes stealing water you fucking genius, but you do realize that people who have to work all day involved with water bills and meter reading lose money because of what you stole, and yet the purpose of this is because of a water bill thinking they steal money from you so that's kinda hypocritical, also that shit won't work because they will find out once they see that you haven't been using water for the past few months and then you'll have to back pay for all the water you stole which if that's not enough to make you stop being a dick it's also a fucking crime
