Water meters are what takes a reading of what water consumption your property has used which you then get billed on.

With the ever-increasing costs of utilities we recommend you know where your water meter is, if you had a larger water bill than last or suspect you have a leak.

You can easily ensure all plumbing fixtures taps/toilets etc. are off at night and take a photo of your water meter reading and again the next morning to see if the reading has increased.

This simple procedure could save you money on paying a plumber when there is no leak, or identify when you have a leak and need it sorted before it causes excess damage.
