The following points need to be paid special attention to during the operation of smart water meters:

1. Freezing problem: the normal working environment temperature of the smart water meter is usually not lower than minus 40 degrees, but during the transportation process, the water meter may encounter lower temperatures, so the impact of this extreme low temperature environment must be taken into account when designing the water meter. In addition, the smart water meter should also have anti-disassembly function, once someone tries to disassemble the water meter, the system should immediately automatically close the valve and stop the water supply to prevent illegal use or destruction.

2. Water attack: If someone deliberately adds a small amount of water to the booth of the water meter, causing the booth to be damp, which may increase the power consumption of the water meter, and even cause the water meter to be damaged. This behavior will seriously affect the normal operation of water meters and measurement accuracy.

3. Magnetic attack: The use of magnets to interfere with the sampling part and transmission part of the water meter is a common means of stealing water. In this way, criminals can make the water meter can not accurately measure the water consumption, or reduce the measurement, so as to achieve the purpose of illegally saving water bills. At present, there are also often some illegal vendors on the market to sell so-called “water stealers”, these devices will pose a serious threat to the normal work of smart water meters.

In order to ensure the normal operation and metering accuracy of smart water meters, we can take the following solutions:

First of all, anti-freezing measures must be taken, especially in areas with low winter temperatures. If the smart water meter fails due to low temperature, it may lead to inaccurate data, and then it can not understand the real water use situation in a timely manner, affecting daily life and water resource management.

Secondly, if the user needs to go out for a long time and no one is at home, it is recommended to close the valve of the smart water meter before leaving. When closing the valve, it is necessary to ensure that the upper and lower valves are closed, which can effectively avoid damage to the water meter caused by not using water for a long time. In addition, if the equipment is damaged due to the failure to close the valve, the related maintenance costs usually need to be borne by the user.

In short, although the smart water meter has brought convenience to our lives, it also needs our careful care and appropriate protective measures during use to ensure its long-term stable operation.
