DAE VM-50P 1/2” Positive Displacement Water Meter with Pulse Output, Measuring in Gallon + Couplings

Happy i was able to mount in a ceiling with the dial facing down, a unique feature from most meters. Working great for my pool pond and flower gardens to save a lot on sewage charges.Very easy to install

This product is well made yet inexpensive, if you need to easily know how much water you are using. The digits are clear and easy to read, and it seems to be very accurate. The product information isn't quite accurate, but it worked well for our purpose. Because it has a check valve, water can't flow through it both ways. With the digits upright (black cover to the top), water can enter at the bottom and exit at the top, which was perfect for us. I am assuming that the meter could be used horizontally, but vertically seems best. Just remember that the water exits at the end where the black cover and digits are.

After dealing with two separate incidents which involved failed in-house plumbing ($$), I wanted a way to see whether my system was tight. The county water meter is inaccessible and most common meters utilize a rotating vane which is not a good choice for low flows. This meter is a positive displacement design and resolves 0.1 gallon increments which is good for this purpose. Working pressure is up to 230 psi. It took some installation work but now I can see whether any overnight 'continuous-use', i.e. leaks exist.

It was easy to install inline with a water hose. Had to order a couple of fittings, but otherwise is working flawlessly. Every application is different and may require a different fitting, so it would be impossible for the vendor to include them all.

I have a three unit building. One of my tenants was abusing the water. In my area you cannot have but one water service to a building.By installing these in expensive, but extremely effective water meters I was able to figure out which tenant was abusing the water, And I raised his rent accordingly

Looks and feels like it's built to last the lifetime of the house. It works perfectly, I don't know what else to say...

I have an inground pool. I have an Automatic Top-off System installed on it so I wanted to keep track of the amount of water being put in it each week. Once I establish an average amount then I can have a general idea as to what is normal and what is excessive. This will help decide if I may have a leak somewhere and get it repaired promptly. I couldn't use a horizontal type or one that was an vertical upflow only. This one although mounted upside down still allowed me to see the counter.

Bought two. Work well, but both have now failed at the plastic threaded fittings due to movement of attached hoses as users used the hoses. Started with leaks, eventually could not tighten further, added metal adapter to replace reducer from meter to hose fitting, but that threaded connection right at the meter body has now failed as threads were damaged. Brass fittings would have prevented the problem.Recommend only if mounted in a rigid pipe line, or rigid supports are added at both ends of meter.

Easy to install easy to read , can install in any position

This water flow meter seems to be well built and works great. Just wish I could get one in metric. (pulse per liter)
