I bought a WM100 water meter last year, and it worked great. This year though, I'm getting false readings. I've watched it as the meter spins and it spins fine from say 0-5 on the dial, but slows down from say 6-10. It's gotten plenty of sap through it, so it should be good and flushed out at this point. Is there a way to take them apart and clean them or something?
From talking to the company I bought it from, they've had issues from other maple producers using a couple of their other meters and when they're sent back to the manufacturer, they tell them it's because of the sugar...chances are this won't be covered under warranty.
I'd rather not buy another meter, but do need one that reads accurately. Fortunately, when buying sap, it gives me readings in my favor :)
