Not so long ago appeared in our water utilities know-how - non-magnetic seal on the water meter. Recently, water utility employees go home, check the counters and at the same time anti-magnetic paste filling.
By itself, anti-magnetic seal looks like a bag that is glued to the counter. This bag is a certain compound that reacts to magnetic radiation - in particular the magnet itself. If the seal to the non-magnetic magnet to bring close, the reaction takes place and the seal appears drawing or just a spot, thus making it clear that a counter is probably illegal manipulation.
It so happened that the turn and to me. Water Utility employee came to me, is a miracle pasted seal on the counter, warned that under no circumstances case, do not use any magnets at the counter, or drawing on the seal will be spread and I will write fine.
It took about half a year, I started to notice that the picture on the seal began to gradually fade. I was very surprised, because I do not use magnets. After a month and a half comes from water utility controller, which would verify the meter readings. I came in and immediately drew attention to the seal. I said so and so, I will be an act of non-magnetic seal damage caused by the magnets.
Following the results of the conversation it this act and not made. To convey the full flavor of our conversation in a few words will not work. I said everything that I think about it, a water canal and all of these innovations with their anti-magnetic seals.
I will highlight just a few questions that I asked her, in response to that, it was just an excuse or even incomprehensible silence:
1. On what basis it was installed anti-magnetic seal?
2. Which documents, and how the contract was written that I should be responsible for the label (non-magnetic seal) you stuck me here?
3. What supporting documents have that installed it to me you or your staff, where my signature where your signature? When, what number?
The fact is that on the arrival of their staff, I seal found no documents did not give nobody never would sign. If you think so, I generally could disrupt the seal and throw it, and where is the proof that it was there at all? Absurd complete.
Next, I asked her: "If you set me the seal, and it responds to a magnet, it means, in fact - it is the meter? Where, then, the documents on this device, its life? When he checked on the performance? "
As I expected, the controller did not have any documents, certificates, and the more of these seals. All they were given - it is very filling, walk, glue the, and then we will understand.
I am available to her I explained that to the seal did not touch, do not use magnets. It took about half a year, and it flowed. Controller after some time has passed to be frank and admit that the non-magnetic seal is really poor quality. He said that there was a case when the seal is intensified and flowed in her bag, which was lying mobile phone. After these words, I was stunned. The seal also has to respond to the strong magnetic radiation, because the phone and I could affect it, as often highlighted counter, which would see the evidence.
After much debate and discussions, the controller has agreed to remove the old seal and glue the new one. The old seal, as I understand it, she's just about to throw it away. I asked her a question: "Is the seal is not accountable, unless they have no room?" The answer was the same blank stare.
To seek further the already I did not, with the act of the issue resolved. But if you think this is possible and seal itself off and throw away, and then buy a new one and paste. Some utter nonsense.
Never forget about their rights, try to always stand up for them, if you see that you are treated like the minimum illegally. I will never support the scams that are twisted meter readings and water utilities are deceiving, but this mess with these anti-magnetic seals have already gone too far.
Yeah, just thought, all this crazy house with these innovations or only with us!?
