Frequently Asked Questions

What does FLM-001 track?

FLM-001 tracks water usage from a standard garden hose connection. You can view single-session usage, total cumulative usage, real-time flow rate, and a 7-day daily average from the meter display.

Where should I install it?

Install the flow meter between your outdoor faucet and your hose, sprinkler, timer, RV tank fill line, pool fill hose, or other compatible garden-hose setup. Follow the flow direction arrow on the housing so water enters the correct side.

Does it fit my outdoor faucet?

Yes. FLM-001 fits standard 3/4" US garden hose faucets and garden hose thread connections. It installs by hand-tightening, with no tools required.

How accurate is the meter?

FLM-001 measures water flow with ±5% accuracy when used within the supported pressure and flow range. For best readings, keep the inlet filter clean, make sure connections are tight, and avoid very low-flow applications below the stated operating range.

What pressure and flow rate does it support?

The meter supports 0–116 PSI water pressure and a 0.5–12 GPM flow rate. Most residential outdoor faucets fall within this range.

Does the screen turn on automatically?

Yes. The display wakes automatically when water starts flowing and goes to sleep after about 1 minute without flow, so you can leave it installed for normal watering.

What battery does it use?

FLM-001 uses a CR2032 coin cell battery. The battery is pre-installed and supports up to 3 years of standby time or about 1 year of daily use. A low battery indicator lets you know when it is time to replace it.

Can I use it with a hose timer, sprinkler, pool, or RV?

Yes. It is designed for garden watering, lawn sprinklers, hose timers, RV tanks, pools, hot tubs, rain barrels, and leak checks. If you are using a timer, place the meter between the faucet and the timer so it measures all water flowing through the system.

How do I maintain it?

The built-in inlet filter helps block sand and debris before it reaches the sensor. Periodically remove and rinse the filter, especially if you notice reduced flow or inconsistent readings. Before freezing weather, disconnect the meter, drain any water, and store it indoors.

Can I use it for indoor plumbing or hot water?

No. FLM-001 is designed for outdoor cold-water garden hose connections. It is not intended for indoor plumbing lines, hot water, or permanent pressurized plumbing installations.

Where can I find setup help or customer support?

Visit the FLM-001 support center for setup, display, battery, cleaning, and troubleshooting articles.
