DigiFlow 8000T Water Flow Meter

Stopped counting water flow just after a year of use. The plastic fittings are also prone to leaking and took quite of bit of work to stop leaking, finally used some pipe dope to help.

Saves the question about how much the filter is actually filtering. I discovered that either 3M is not correctly representing the number of gallons it's filters will treat or my city water is so bad I must be filtering a lot of stuff out of the water. My 2000 gallon filter shuts down after 400-500 gallons. I am tracking this new filter with the DigiFlow and when I speak to 3M next time instead of getting blown off by customer service I'll have actual data. I plan on putting a larger model on my whole house system this summer.

Our first one stopped working after a few days. Returned it and they sent a new one. The second one stopped working after a few days. Didn't want to deal with it anymore because we ended up spending more on the plumber than the product is worth.

I needed a lot of teflon tape to prevent leaking but it may have had to do with the fittings. Using to measure flow so I know when to replace water filter cartridges.

It works well.
