Hydrawise 3/4 Inch Flow Meter

After using this with the Hydrawise controller for a year now- should be part of every system for any water use conscious consumer-Enables a capability of "miles per gallon" efficiency evaluation to your irrigation system. If MPG is not part of your consideration in auto purchases, this meter is not for you.

Please see my review of the Hydrawise 12-zone irrigation controller for more information about the complete system.Once installed in front of your valves it's a simple two wire connection to the Hydrawise controller to get it up and running. After that a variety of water-usage reports are available such as: total water used, flow rates and water usage by zone. This is very handy for monitoring for potential leaks or broken emitters/sprinklers/pipes in your system. It really takes irrigation control to the next level.Reporting is available via your phone or computer. Pretty awesome.Update: 2016-05I love that I can get a gallons-used reading after every watering. This year when turning the system back on after the winter rains I noticed that one zone was using a bit more water than normal. Turns out the critters had chewed through the 1/8" drip lines in a couple of places. I fixed those, and things are back to normal.I noticed that the item is currently unavailable. Hopefully, Amazon will stock it in the future. It's pretty handy.

Great for adding more information about your water usage per zone for your hydrawise controller. Maximum flow rate of 21 Gallons per minute. 3.4 inch connectors. Install in line before your valves.
