Don't think anyone has asked yet;
How old is the house?
Is your house Detached, Semi, Terrace?
Or is it part of any previously redevelopment, like Barn conversion?
If Detached are there any near neighbours?
I think Snowy is alluding to the possibility that a neighbour is using your water
My thoughts were along that way,but the self emptying CWS may give the lie to that theory.
Some years ago, I had a lock up shop. During some renovations, I discover that the detached garage was wired from the flat above. The wire came from the flat, through the shop to our garage
That's fine I welcome your questions to hopefully get to the bottom of this. I had the stoptap off for about 3 hours and there was no movement. When the water company guy came he said if there was a leak he could have seen even the tiniest drip showing on the meter.
To be honest I thought the same at one point as I have a neighbour from he'll who also has the know how to do such a thing due to his job!
Tests suggested so far haven't discovered anything so I think I will have to get someone in to investigate further. I appreciate all the help and suggestions received.
My leak seems more obvious. With my stopcock off the little wheel still turns so my leak is between meter and stopcock. As the distance is some 30m I do not fancy digging up 30m of ground to find it, maybe in summer if we get one!Some meters have a little turbine wheel spinning that shows miniscule water use (that is still significant over time) and easily indicates flow long before a digit will move.
