In combination, a sampling meter resetter, the sampling meter resetter having a body with an access port, a pressure transmitter mounted to the access port, and a water meter mounted to the sampling meter resetter, the water meter comprising an AMI or an AMR remote reading system, the pressure transmitter communicating with the AMI or AMR remote reading system.
In combination, a sampling meter resetter, the sampling meter resetter having a body with an access port, a sampling valve mounted to the access port,the sampling valve comprising a valve body biased into engagement with a valve seat, and a pressure transmitter mounted to the sampling valve, the pressure transmitter comprising an adapter sized and constructed to move the valve body away from the valve seat when the pressure transmitter is mounted to the sampling valve.
In combination,
- a subterranean sampling valve attached to a subterranean water system, the subterranean sampling valve comprising a spring-loaded valve,
- a water condition transmitter attached to the spring-loaded valve and holding the spring-loaded valve open, and
- an enclosure enclosing the subterranean sampling valve and the pressurc water condition-transmitter.
In combination, a sampling meter resetter, the sampling meter resetter having a body with an inlet and an outlet, a water meter connected between the inlet and the outlet of the body, an access port in the body, a pressure transmitter mounted to the access port, a power source electrically attached to the pressure transmitter, and a signal transmitter electrically attached to the pressure transmitter.
