Flow Meters & Flow Sensors

A flow meter measures the volume of water passing through your irrigation system, helping you monitor usage, detect leaks, and ensure efficient water management.

Flow meters benefit homeowners, landscapers, facility managers, and irrigation professionals who want to optimise water use, prevent wastage, and maintain system performance.

Not all irrigation controllers support flow meter integration, but most of the premium offerings do & it’s an outstanding upgrade. Always check your controller’s specifications or consult our team for compatibility advice.

Flow meters are typically installed on the main supply line, upstream of valves. There are considerations for straight-line flow in installation & ensure you use ‘Shielded’ communications cable for wiring to you controller. Follow manufacturer instructions for correct orientation and wiring requirements.

Flow meter integration enables real-time leak detection, accurate water usage tracking, and automated system shutdown in case of abnormal flow, protecting your property and saving water.

Yes, flow meters can alert you to unexpected increases in water usage, which often indicate leaks, broken pipes, or malfunctioning valves in your irrigation system.

All flow meters are backed by manufacturer warranties and SunshowerOnline’s expert support for product selection, installation, troubleshooting, and ongoing care.
