DAE AS250U-100P 1" Water Meter with Pulse Output, Measuring in Gallon + Coupling

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.

If you have to measure the water from the branch off main meter , this work really well

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"

Excellent

Had a plumber easily install this water meter for me in California for an ADU rental unit. It was exactly what I needed and its of high quality. The seller shipped it to me so fast and they provided all installation instructions. I highly recommend it. Thank you!

The DAE AS200U-75P has proven to be an invaluable tool for monitoring and determining the optimal time to change my whole house water filter. With its user-friendly interface and reliable performance, this device simplifies the process of tracking the condition of the filter. By providing accurate measurements and clear indications, it helps me ensure that my water filtration system is operating at its best and that I'm getting clean and safe water throughout my home. Since it is my first set of filters, I have to see what happens at around 10K gallons of water. I can better gauge on when my next change should be.

I have purchased both a cold water and hot water version of this pulse meter. I am happy with both but there is a caveat. The meters do not come with a back-flow preventer. This is essential otherwise as water sloshes back and forth through this meter due to pressure changes it will continue to generate pulses even when there is no net flow. The difficulty is easily avoided by installing their $5 back flow preventer that can be purchased on Amazon. It would be nice if they would make this clear in their web material for the pulse meter. https://www.amazon.com/DAE-NRVAS-75-Non-Return-Valve-AS200U-75P-AS200U-75RP/dp/B0C582TKQ1/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1FN9UOIKMR2L1&keywords=dae+nrvas-75&qid=1687010393&sprefix=dae+nrvas-75%2Caps%2C126&sr=8-1 Of course other kinds of check valves in the line would also solve this problem. I found Tech Support at DAE to be very responsive and helpful.

Failed within two weeks of installation. A complete waste.
