One of my customers keeps a bag of old 50p just for the meter and swaps them back for reuse when he empties it. Won't pay for it to be replaced or rewired. Well it works so don't fix it.

Are you sure it’s 14 Units per pound, not 14p per Unit?
Oops again the coin Meter is calibrated for 14 units per £1 coinAre you sure it’s 14 Units per pound, not 14p per Unit?
Sorry not getting this now, please help, 2 flats one up one down, each flat has owne CU but you have a coin meter that is to feed power to a water heater to someone else’s flat, would like to no why this setup is
as i said earlier, you can calibrate it, take 2 minutes.
or you explain to tenant and charge him the extra.
yes, common practise in the 60's when people had "lodgers", or houses split on the cheap. one customer I had complained she did not use 50p worth of hot water for her bath, so if she had her bath first, the other tenant benefitted. wanted me to put in a 10p meter so she could just pay 30p. very determined she was.
new meters yes, but not retrospective., as with many of the regulations - might not even be considered "Code C3 Improvement recommended"All landlord metering is should be MID Approved. It doesn't sound like this coin meter meets MID approval.
Google MID Approved Meters.
or see the gov guidance
