Hello everyone,

we have a huge house but only a small utility room. Now we really want to have a free wall downstairs for shelves or a work surface. However, in the execution planning, a water meter suddenly appeared on the wall, which bothers me a lot. Our architect says you can't include it in the row of appliances above.

What is your assessment? Couldn't it also be placed behind the washing machine? Or are there regulations regarding accessibility or something similar?

Regards, Redsonic

Well, there is usually a rotary valve before the meter, one behind the meter - the meter may need to be replaced at some point... Then it also has to be readable without having to rearrange everything extensively each time... So you should be able to get to the meter easily. And of course, it depends on the local water supplier what regulations they have about it.

For example, our local water supplier says the following:


    [*]The network connection must be easily accessible both outside and inside the building. It must not be built over or planted with large or expensive plants outside the building, nor walled in or blocked inside the building.

Our connection is between the heating and the wall. It was not approved by the waterworks. The installers reluctantly had to set the meter much higher so that the part can be replaced with a wrench even after years. If you feel like moving your washing machine twice a year... I wouldn't! However, I also made sure to have a free wall. So there is still quite a bit of coordination involved when installing the equipment on site. Regards

This is how it looks for us, the folding ruler is about 22cm long. Maybe one would also like to rinse through the filter...
