Reed switch style water meter provides pulsing dry contact signal


Stainless Steel or Plastic Water Meter

The plastic and stainless steel water meter utilizes a reed switch that provides a pulsing dry contact signal. The meter sends a signal to actuate the pump to dose according to the water volume. Both are certified by IAPMO to ANSI/NSF 372, low lead.

Click on technical data for flow rates, specifications and the materials of construction for the plastic or stainless steel water meter. Select the meter size based on the continuous flow rate and not the pipe size.

Low Flow VPD Water Meter Ideal When Water Flow is Minimal

Ideal for early state poultry flock and swine nurseries when water flow is minimal. The 3/4″ vertical positive displacement water meter registers flow rates from 0.1 tp 22 gallons per minute.

The meter has an oscillating piston and doesn’t require power. The meter utilizes a reed switch to provide a pulsing dry contact signal. Although designed for vertical installation, the meter can be installed horizontally or on an incline, as long at the meter stays full of water. The meter has a built-in back flow preventer and is housed in engineered plastic with corrosion resistance liquid-sealed register for easy reading.
