FlowVis

®

retrofi t model

FlowVis

®

 is a revolutionary, patented 

solution for accurate and reliable fl ow 

and velocity rate measurement in fresh 

water applications such as swimming 

pools, spas, fountains, water features, 

irrigation systems, ground water 

applications, well water and solar 

systems. A FlowVis

®

model also exists 

for Flotation Tanks and where the 

Specifi c Gravity has been raised to 1.25 

by adding Epsom Salts.

Using a design that is based on ‘mass 

fl ow’ principles, FlowVis

®

 fl ow meters 

provide many benefi ts that include:
• 

Ease of installation with zero to 

minimal 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 for models FV-15, FV-2, FV-

25, FV-C, all retrofi t models, and 

all metric and DN equivalents

• 

User upgradeable to include 

Digital functionality (FV-D)
