AS250U-100RP 1" Hot Water Meter with Pulse Output, Measuring in Gallon + Couplings

The price is great for what you get and so far I am very happy with the purchase. I know that DAE wants to make cash by selling a complete system but for home use it's not such a great deal. However I have been able to interface with an ESP8266 running ESPhome. So far it just works and I get to see my water use in real time and verify by taking a look at the meter directly plus I no longer have to go out to the curb and lift a cover to see what my water usage is on a daily/weekly/whatever else basis. And since this meter does have the ability to be certified if there is ever a discrepancy between my utility bill and what I show to have used I can use it to prove I have not used as much water as I am being charged for. For those interested in using ESPhome with this you will need a 10K pull up resistor installed on one leg of the wire lead for things to work properly then you simply short to ground for the count to work. The code I used for the sensor is included below and should work to get you up and running. - platform: pulse_counter pin: number: GPIO14 inverted: true mode: input: true pullup: true name: "${disp_name} Flow" unit_of_measurement: "gal/min" icon: "mdi:water" update_interval: 15s accuracy_decimals: 0 internal_filter: 400ms count_mode: rising_edge: DISABLE falling_edge: INCREMENT filters: - lambda: return (x); total: name: "Total Water Consumption" unit_of_measurement: "gal" device_class: water state_class: total_increasing accuracy_decimals: 0 icon: "mdi:faucet"

i do a lot of drip irrigation and i need to monitor the water in gallons for infusing fertilizer. these are on the high pressure side going into screen filters and the fertilizer tank is just before the drip emitters. with this meter, i'm able to monitor the water that is going and make sure i'm putting down the right amount. i also use this to know how much water the dogs are getting. it keeps the water in the swimming pool from breaking the bank

Wanted to count US Gallons used in the house without having to go outside and read the underground City meter. My town charges for over consumption. I've been monitoring for 13 years... at the outdoor meter. This does the trick. So simple to install. No real need for the very expensive iPhone capability unless it is important to you. If you wish, the new unit displays to a remote counter through a small 2 conductor wire to wherever you like. It displays ACCURATELY how many gallons have passed through the water meter. The Amazon DAE CO-10 Electronic Pulse Counter or any other Pulse counter will work with this. I already had a tiny EKM Metering remote. It registers the gallons perfectly Really, you do not need to use the remote function. The display at the meter is clear and easy to read. No external power required. Just follow instructions that warn that the unit MUST be installed horizontally with the face up. Thank You DAE for such an amazing meter at a great price.

This meter arrived quickly, and in good shape. It's made of heavy brass (as it should be) and feels like good quality. I've seen a lot of other reviews complaining about the fittings -- and people having difficulty with making good plumbing connections... to which I would say "probably user error". In a former life, I worked as a small water system operator for several years -- and I have experience with this type of water meter. The fittings on this model are standard. You'll want to be sure to use the 2 brass 'adapters' when you install the meter (they aren't 'optional'), and don't forget to put the rubber washers in when you attach them to the meter inlet and outlet ports. After that, you'll have brass male threads pointing in both directions (upstream and downstream) from your new meter -- and these threads are in the nominal size you specified when ordering (mine are 1" male pipe threads or MPT). From here, you will need to purchase the appropriate fittings to connect to your plumbing, with a corresponding female pipe thread (FPT) in the same nominal size. For me, it was a pair of 1" PVC couplings, slip x FPT -- because I was adding the meter into a section of 1" PVC pipe. [Please note: connecting brass or metal MPT into plastic FPT is never recommended, because the plastic fitting can crack as you tighten into it. I did it very carefully.] I have had the meter in service for about a month now (3500 gallons) and everything appears to be working properly. Never did an accuracy test -- but other reviewers have said it's pretty darned accurate, which is good enough for my purposes. Don't overlook the warnings about orientation... I guess this meter MUST be installed horizontally and flat, with the dial facing up. I don't know what happens if you do something different. And I don't want to know. Good luck! :)

Good product

Since I connected this I haven't had to change the filter on my drinking waterline and for the refrigerator and ice maker as often It tells me the exact amount of water that was used

Excellent

Great product. Well built. Easy to install

Bon produit, utile

Bought this one to replace crappy save a drop ones I had before. So far working great, and I have no doubt will last longer than the previous water meters I bought. Shipping was expensive but hopefully pays for its in quality.

Now I can keep track of well water used and know when to change my filters.

Easy to install good quality. Very accurate tested with 5 gallon pail. Would recommend

Very good meter
