What happens when the water meter is installed backwards?

The consequence of installing the water meter backwards is that the water consumption value does not match the actual situation.

The consequence of installing the water meter backwards is that the water consumption value is inconsistent with the actual use situation, which may lead users to overcharge water charges or waste water resources. If it is identified by the water department as changing the water meter privately, it will face punishment. When installing the water meter, ensure that the direction on the water meter shell is consistent with the direction of water flow in the pipeline to avoid the problem of inaccurate reading caused by installation errors. When installing the water meter, you should choose a location that is convenient for reading, maintenance and replacement, so as to avoid exposure or cold wind erosion. The dial of the water meter should be installed upward, and cannot be tilted, so as to ensure that the water meter can accurately read the water flow.
