Nka gikoresho cyingenzi cyo gupima ikoreshwa ryamazi, imikorere ikwiye no gufata neza metero zamazi bigira ingaruka kuburyo butaziguye amakuru yukoresha amazi hamwe nigihe ubuzima bwigikoresho. Kumenya uburyo busanzwe bwo gukoresha metero y'amazi ntibifasha gusa kunoza imikorere yimicungire yamazi ahubwo binarinda amakosa yo gupima no kwangiza ibikoresho biterwa no gukoresha nabi.
Imetero y'amazi isanzwe ishyirwa kumpera yumuyoboro. Mugihe ukoresheje metero yamazi kunshuro yambere, abayikoresha bagomba kubanza kwemeza ko metero yerekanwe neza, hamwe numwambi uhuza nicyerekezo cyamazi. Mbere yo gukoresha metero nshya y'amazi, banza ugenzure umwanda cyangwa ibibyimba. Nibiba ngombwa, fungura gahoro gahoro hejuru ya valve kugirango wemerere amazi gutembera mumiyoboro kugeza urushinge rwa metero cyangwa kwerekana imibare ihagaze neza. Mugihe cyo gukoresha burimunsi, abakoresha bagomba kwandika amazi bakoresheje metero basoma. Kuri metero y'amazi yubukanishi, soma imibare yumukara (igice cyuzuye) hamwe nicyerekezo gitukura (igice cya cumi) kuri terefone; kuri metero y'amazi ya elegitoronike, soma imibare kuri ecran ya LCD. Birasabwa gusoma ikoreshwa ryamazi mugihe cyamasaha - kugirango ubone amakuru yukuri.
Niba gukoresha amazi bigomba guhagarikwa (urugero, kubivugurura cyangwa kubura umwanya munini), funga valve igenzura imbere ya metero yamazi kugirango wirinde ko imiyoboro itemba itera metero kuzunguruka. Mugihe wongeye gukora metero, fungura buhoro buhoro valve urebe niba ikora mubisanzwe. Gusa ongera ukoreshe amazi asanzwe nyuma yo kwemeza ko ntakidasanzwe. Mu gihe c'itumba, metero zamazi zigomba gukingirwa, nko kuzizinga hamwe no kuvoma amazi asigaye mu miyoboro, kugirango wirinde gukonja no guturika.
Mugihe cyo kubungabunga bisanzwe, abakoresha bagomba kwirinda gutondekanya ibintu biremereye cyangwa inzitizi zikikije metero y'amazi kugirango bahumeke neza kandi basome metero byoroshye. Buri gihe ugenzure metero ikora. Niba icyerekezo gihindagurika bidasanzwe, imibare iranyeganyega, cyangwa igahagarika kugenda na gato, irashobora kwerekana uburyo bwimbere bwananiranye cyangwa umuyoboro ufunze. Menyesha umutekinisiye ubishoboye ako kanya kugirango akosorwe. Birabujijwe gusenya cyangwa guhindura metero y'amazi, cyangwa gukoresha ibintu bikomeye bya rukuruzi kugirango bibangamire gupima, birabujijwe rwose. Ibikorwa nkibi ntabwo bigira ingaruka kuri metero gusa ahubwo birashobora no kurenga kumabwiriza abigenga.
Gukora neza no gufata neza metero zamazi ntabwo birengera uburenganzira bwamazi gusa ahubwo binatanga inkunga yizewe yishami rishinzwe gucunga amazi. Gucunga neza ibikoresho bya metero yamazi birashobora kunoza neza imikoreshereze yumutungo wamazi no kugera ku micungire y’amazi meza kandi meza.
