even if the valve was half shut previous to the water meter being fitted it will not change the preasure flow rate yes preasure no
 
The water pressure to the boiler would be the same with the valve open or partially closed. Volume would decrease only.
 
Even if the mains were not fully open the standing pressure would still be the same. But I do agree on the anything can happen thing
 
You say the Boilers always lost pressure but you havent found the leak, Well you've found it now:bucktooth:
 
The new water meter has a non return valve which prevents expansion during heating back down the main. This means when the hot water is preheated and no potable expansion vessell is fitted the rise in pressure can cause a weak joint to leak.

Ravenheaps are terrible, cheap, nasty junk.
