Rola-Chem builds these to work with schedule 40 PVC pipe and to be compatible with practically every existing flowmeter, so replacing an older unit does not usually mean replumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe meter is rated for water temperatures up to 200 degrees F, well past anything a pool circulates, which is what lets it live on heated commercial systems without the body going soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy flow readings matter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurnover rate, heater performance, chemical feed and filter backwash all depend on knowing the real flow rather than the flow the pump was rated for on paper. A meter that has clouded or clogged tells you nothing useful, and a system running blind is one where a partially blocked filter goes unnoticed for weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rola-Chem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633666044116,"sku":"ROL-56-6170","price":176.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_729b216d-b989-4e23-95a7-7a187a1ee490.jpg?v=1788808429","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/flowmeter-6-pvc","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
