EVM430-FR6047: Abnormal water readings

Part Number: EVM430-FR6047

Hello,

I am using a custom board with the MSP430 for water metering paired with an mcu for data transmission. The two communicate with I2C protocol based on the Design Center protocol. The issue I have is that the measurements from the msp sometimes get extremely high (positive or negative) for a long period of time while no such flow exists. Below I have a graph with the logged values of a day.

The second picture is a magnified version of the first high from the previous graph. As you can see there is repetition to it.

The MSP430 has this version of the code : MSP430FR6047EVM_USS_Water_02_40_00_00 and the things that I have disabled the LCD screen and the buttons and I have added a function that takes the VFR and divides it by 3600 to measure the liters passed by the second, accumulates this values over the period of a minute and then the mcu requests a measurement update from the msp. The value is sent and then I reset it to start the new cycle. I use the command of user parameter 6 to make this transaction. 

I have not been able to replicate this issue and debug it. Any indication as to where I might have made a mistake or what the cause of this may be would be welcome. 

Thank you for your time.
