DESCRIPTION

FlowVis® is a revolutionary, patented solution for accurate and 

reliable fl ow rate measurement in fresh water applications 

such as swimming pools, spas, fountains, water features, and 

solar systems.

Using a design that is based on ‘mass fl ow’ principles, the 

FlowVis® provides many benefi ts that include:

•  Ease of installation without the need to have 15x of 

straight pipe

•  Installation fl exibility that allows orientation in any 

position, e.g., horizontal, vertical or even upside-down

•  Long life without sticking fl oats or paddle wheels
•  Combined Flow Meter and Check Valve in all models 

except FV-C-S, FV-C-Saline, FV-3, FV-L-DN80, FV-4 and 

FV-L-DN100.

CONCEPT

As fl ow increases, the check valve or safety fl apper moves 

forward toward its fully open position. The fl apper’s angular 

position is directly related to fl ow rate through the valve body 

/ Tee. A calibrated scale on the valve’s lid provides a highly 

accurate reading of the fl ow rate.
