When you review these flow counters, please be aware of the minimum flow rate and the viewing angle of the display.  The one on Amazon listed below has only an 8 degree angle, thus the display is not readable unless it is at eye level.

The issue with these flow counters is that if you don’t totally fill your water tank in order to reset the volume, you won’t know where you are at in terms of actual volume in the tank.

eg if you have a water maker, you may decide to quit making water before it’s full.

So, the only good solution is a way to accurately measure how much water you actually have in the water tank.

We have the factory installed Tank Tender. It works quite well despite its mechanical simplicity.
