A meter reading nothing, or reading obviously wrong, makes every one of those judgments guesswork. That is the point at which a clouded or clogged unit gets replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting and range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe meter is built for schedule 40 PVC pipe and is constructed to withstand water temperatures up to 200 degrees F. Check the range against your system before ordering, since a meter reading 70 to 240 GPM tells you nothing useful on a pool moving 40. Rola-Chem builds the same size in a vertical mount version, so pick the orientation that lets you actually read the face where the meter will sit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rola-Chem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634279035092,"sku":"ROL-56-6167","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_6c76537c-ab12-451c-9b1a-f951413b2453.jpg?v=1788828041","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/flowmeter-2-1-2-pvc","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
