Sontex Heat Meter for RHI

[tullah]

Amy ideas where to get a competitive price for a Sontex Supercal 531 heat meter for commercial RHI?
Is it possible to have mine checked over?
As it's nearly ten years old, would Ofgem soon be demanding that I replace it anyway?
Thanks in advance.

edit..just come across thread started by Bruce Almighty end of January with lots of answers but need suggestions where to go for new.

I use Stockshed. I am now replacing most of my meters with Kamstrup, the only brand I have found to be reliable. https://stockshed.com/pages/heat-meters-stockshed-uk

Thank you. I'll try them tomorrow.
I rang DMS for a Sontex and over £600 plus vat!

Thanks for the replies.
After all that ours is now whizzing round as usual with the same output per bale as before.
How many years pass before ofgem want the original replaced?

Recalibrated or replaced at 10 yrs

Which means replace!

I have not priced up calibration of a 2", which might be cost effective, but then what do you lose while it is away for calibration?

Sontex are several weeks. Certainly not worth it for me but depends on time of year and usage
