It installs into the top of a horizontal run and gives a direct reading of what is actually passing through the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy a flowmeter earns its place\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost equipment pads are judged by a pressure gauge, which really only reports how loaded the filter is. Flow rate is the number that everything else is specified against: pool turnover, the minimum flow a heater needs before it will fire safely, the dosing a chlorinator is rated for, and the point at which a pump is being asked to push more than its plumbing can take. A flowmeter puts that number in front of you every time you walk the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting and range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is scaled 25 to 60 GPM, which is the working band for a 1.5 inch line. Pick the mount and pipe size to match the run you are installing into, and give the meter a straight length of pipe ahead of it so the reading settles. Rola-Chem makes matching meters in larger sizes and in side and vertical mount styles for other parts of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe o-ring and the black caplug are available separately, so a leaking or damaged meter does not always mean a new meter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rola-Chem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634375831764,"sku":"ROL-56-6164","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_caf50fd6-f175-4d57-be9b-82d84f949db0.jpg?v=1788828735","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/flowmeter-1-5-pvc","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
