1. A water flow measuring device comprising:
- a) a main body provided with a water flow sensor through which water can flow when demand therefor is made by a water supply apparatus;
b) data collecting circuitry suitable to collect data generated by said water flow sensor;
wherein said water flow sensor is provided with a plugging element coupled with a spring constricting element, which is suitable to block the flow of water therethrough when the water pressure at the inlet of said sensor is smaller than the mechanical pressure applied by said spring constricting element.
