Description of company/ product

(less than 100 words)

As water meters are installed throughout the UK, there will be temptation for certain individuals to tamper with water meters as a means or reducing the cost of both household and commercial water bills.  As the knowledge of how easy it is to tamper with water meters increases, theft of water will no doubt also increase rapidly unless protective measures are put into place.   

The Meter Guard is easy to install and provides a visual deterrent to protect the installed water meter against tampering.
