The simple-to-install HC Flow Meter allows customers to monitor flow rates and system hydraulics with Hydrawise-enabled controllers. When connected to the Hydrawise platform, the HC Flow Meter provides a convenient option to detect, monitor, and report critical flow zone data and total system flows. When hardscape materials get in the way, add flow monitoring to Hydrawise smart irrigation systems quickly and easily with the Wireless HC Flow Meter.
By including an HC flow meter as part of a Hydrawise system installation, customers add an additional layer of landscape protection. This ensures their investment is monitored, their plants are healthy, and their outdoor living space remains in excellent condition. For contractors, a flow meter is a great way to build their businesses through increased offerings and top-level customer service, as problems can be addressed immediately before landscape degradation occurs.
The HC flow meter connects to Hydrawise-enabled controllers, allowing for:
Features:
Optional wireless communication kit available for use with any HC Flow Meter:
Important: For accuracy of recorded flow meter data it is suggested for best practice to have the flow meter connected to the main line that connects to the irrigation system and not the main line of the entire water supply as this can cause confusion when reading flow data. For example if your flow meter is connected to the main line of you entire water supply even when you open a tap, flush the toilet or have a shower. The flow data will be recorded under your flow measurements, however will appear as flow data ”while a zone was not active“ so please keep this in mind when installing your flow meter off your main water supply which isn’t exclusive to your irrigation system.

Easy to install flow meter, integrated easily with Pro-HC controller, solid construction. Hardest bit was sourcing shielded cable.
The flow meter was easier to install on my garden bore than I imagined. I included a telescopic pipe section so I didn’t have to be too precise with the pipe lengths. The brass unions are very solid and allow for easy fitting or removal of the flow meter from the pipework.
The electric connections are only temporary. It would be nice if the flow meter included a small waterproof junction box where the flexible metal wire protector could be properly terminated. I plan to purchase a small waterproof box from Altronics to make a tidier and watertight connection.
The flow meter readings as recorded by the Hydrawise controller are very useful. Having recently taken over a large 9,000 sq.m garden with 14 reticulation zones, it is good to be able to compare the flow across all the zones, some of which have spare capacity so we can add more sprinklers to fill in current dry areas.
