Flowmeter Operation and Maintenance 

The flowmeter reads out directly in U.S. Gallons per Minute of water. The following is the way in 
which a flow rate reading is obtained. 

This supersedes the manufacturer’s instructions for flow 

rate readings.

   

To initiate a flow rate reading, depress and release the button on the face of the flow meter. 
A numeric indication will appear in about one minute. However, allow approximately two 
more minutes for the flow meter indication to stabilize before taking a reading. The flow 
meter will turn off automatically after a period of time.  

The flow meter readout is powered by two AAA alkaline batteries.  The only normal maintenance is 
to replace the batteries as required. 

The following is additional flow meter information, provided by the flowmeter manufacturer, GPI.
