The very next morning after the order, the master came to check the meter.
He looked at him sadly and refused to believe it.
I recently told you that they now ask for 2-3 times more for the verification of water meters than last year, and how difficult it is to find a verification office that has the right to do verification, which has a relatively low price and a more or less adequate arrival time masters (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1230781.html ).
I ordered a check at the "EconomMontazhServis" office for 900 rubles. When ordering, they asked what model of the meter I had, I looked at what was written on the passport, and answered: Zenner-vodopribor SGI-15AM "Alekseevsky".
To my surprise, the master came the next morning, took a notebook out of his bag, cheerfully went to the toilet, looked on the counter and sadly said that I had a counter "Alekseevsky", but they do not believe such by an unknown to him reason. Without much hope in his voice, the master suggested replacing the meter for 2000 rubles and left, having received my refusal. I don’t know if the master had any calibration equipment with him, except for a notebook. If there was, it was very compact - the master had only a small men's bag.
Thank you for the comments on my first post! From them, I learned that old hot water meters have an intertesting interval of four years, and new ones - six years. And I also learned that it seems that you can buy a new meter (in Leroy they are from 450 rubles), replace it yourself and call a master from the management company for free to seal it.
I called my management company, my aunt "on the other end of the line" categorically said that an independent replacement of the meter is prohibited and they accept documents on commissioning of meters only from accredited organizations.
Just in case, I wrote an e-mail to the management company:
"I ran out of hot water meter MPI. The called inspector refused to verify - they do not believe the model of the Alekseevsky meter.
I want to buy and replace the meter myself. How is the old meter unsealed and the new one sealed? "
Got an answer:
"You need to contact our employee by phone 8-499-180 - ** - **".
I called the indicated phone number and they answered that yes, you can change the meter yourself and they will come to unseal and seal.
In the commentary to the first post, they wrote a very important thing: Before you replace the meter yourself, you need to get from the management company "Act to carry out work on changing the accounting equipment ", confirming the integrity of the seals and the body of the device being replaced at the time of its withdrawal.
Today, on other matters, I ended up in Leroy and bought a meter for 451 rubles (unexpectedly, the site shows what exactly is the store has counters Gerrida and Equatel at this price, but in fact, the store sells Chelyabinsk counters instead of them Aqueduct).
Now I will try to get the act and replace the counter.
I thought that since I couldn't believe it, I should try to replace the meter in order not only to save money, but also to extend the verification period from 4 to 6 years.
I will report that all of this will come out.
