3/4" Water Meter - Stainless Steel, Pulse Output

Item was easy to install and works as advertised. Very high quality construction.

I purchased this meter because it offered the ability to give real-time information on water usage. I installed it downstream from the water company meter and ran a ~15' cat5 ethernet cable to my irrigation controller box and wired it to a Raspberry Pi (with a couple of 4.7K resistors inline to protect the Pi from shorts). A simple python script monitors the water meter and logs usage. Other scripts provide hourly alarm reports and daily reports on water usage. Regarding accuracy, this meter agrees to within about 2% of the Sensus iPerl meter that the water company uses. In terms of usefulness, the meter immediately pointed out a slow leak which turned out to be a slowly-running toilet (warped flapper) that I hadn't been told about. It also informed me that my drip irrigation system probably has some leaks in it, based on the amount of water used when it runs.

measurement of water flow is not accurate. Measurement is so off that I can not tell how much was used. It defeats the purpose of sub metering

Got meter faster than I was told, the installation instructions were clear , installed it easy and works great. would buy another if I need one.

The meter appears to work, and the stainless-steel body is a very solid feature. The dials frequent shutter and stall as they rotate which gives the impression of imminent failure, but the pulse is repeatable, which is all I need for the installed application. You can clearly hear the turbine wheel’s rotation, so I do not know how long this unit will last. In the end, it is a $100.00 meter so my expectation is not that it would be NASA quality, but only time will tell if the notations above are indicative of a very short lifecycle.
