To replace, unscrew the battery compartment cover, remove the old battery, insert a new CR2032 battery with the correct polarity, and securely reattach the cover.

Filter Maintenance

The water meter is equipped with an internal filter mesh to prevent sand and stones from entering and causing clogs. Periodically inspect and clean the filter to maintain optimal performance. To access the filter, carefully unscrew the inlet connector.
