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.

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.
