Newer homes often have a digital water meter, which looks like a small screen showing numbers, like a calculator or a weather station. Some even have a little radio antenna that sends your usage data to the water company without anyone reading it by hand. Cool, right? It’s like your meter is sending a secret text message.
Digital meters are easier to read—just glance and see the number. But they still have that sly leak detector feature, often shown as a blinking icon or a moving arrow. Why do they hide leaks so cleverly? Probably to keep you curious.
