Turn off water in basement

[Nilo Joelsson]

Hi,

The technician will be here soon and I need to turn off the water. Is it this one I should turn to shut it off?

It looks like incoming water because it looks like there is a water meter next to it. Carefully feel the red valve. It's expensive to hire a plumber on a public holiday.

Yes, if you manage to close it, the water will only reach the water meter. When the water meter is replaced, it has to be turned off "in the street" at present. Next time this is done, it is advisable / possibly mandatory to install a water meter console that also has a shut-off before the meter.

The shut-off before the meter is on the left.
However, the entire pipe installation has seen its best-before days.

It's about changing the heating system, so it has to be turned off. I'm aware that some pipes in the basement are a bit antique, and that's the next step.

Haha, see it now but didn't see it before

So is it the red faucet that I should turn off?

Yes, but don't fiddle with it on a holiday.

Yes, but don't mess with it on a holiday

My thought is to let the VVSers do it tomorrow.. Even if I'm urged to do it before they arrive.
