    How to fix a Tuthill SOTERA 825 Measuring Instruments meter that won't turn on?
    • R
      Robert MendozaAug 18, 2025
      If your Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter won't turn on, the issue might be dead batteries. Try replacing them. Alternatively, the electronics module could be damaged or contaminated, in which case you should replace the electronics module and gaskets.

    What to do if fluid flows but Tuthill SOTERA 825 meter won't count?
    • M
      Michael HarrisAug 20, 2025
      If fluid is flowing, but your Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter isn't counting, it could be due to a sticking meter disk. Try cleaning out the meter chamber. It may also be caused by a damaged driver or magnet, requiring you to repair or replace the chamber assembly. In some cases, it signifies a meter failure, which means you'll need to repair or replace the meter.

    Why is my Tuthill Measuring Instruments leaking fluid at the inlet/outlet port?
    • D
      deatonAug 23, 2025
      If you're experiencing fluid leaks at the inlet/outlet port of your Tuthill Measuring Instruments, it might be due to the absence of a thread sealant. Try adding Teflon pipe tape to the joint. Another potential cause is a cross-threaded port, which would require replacing the body.

    Why does my Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter read high?
    • M
      Matthew HuntAug 26, 2025
      If your Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter reads high, there could be air in the system. Prime the system and fix any suction leaks at the pump. Another cause might be the wrong calibration factor; in that case, use a higher calibration factor.

    Why is my Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter not consistent?
    • B
      Brandon MoonAug 28, 2025
      If your Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter is inconsistent, it could be due to air in the system. Make sure to prime the system and fix any suction leaks at the pump. Particulates in the fluid can also cause inconsistencies, so try putting a screen in front of the meter. Finally, a worn or damaged chamber might be the culprit, so cleaning the chamber is advisable.

    What to do if Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter reads low by more than 10%?
    • M
      Michael TerryAug 30, 2025
      If your Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter reads low by more than 10%, the meter chamber might be worn. Try to recalibrate the meter with water. Alternatively, the chamber could be partially plugged, so clean the chamber. In the case of a damaged or very worn chamber, replace the chamber and recalibrate the meter.

    Why does my Tuthill SOTERA 825 Measuring Instruments meter read low by 10% or less?
    • M
      Mr. Jonathon JohnsonSep 4, 2025
      If your Tuthill Measuring Instruments meter reads low by 10% or less, the wrong calibration factor is likely the cause. Use a lower calibration factor to correct this.
