Operation
Normal Operating Conditions for F-300 Flow Meter
The F-300 will provide simple flow indication when there is flow in the pipe, giving the user feedback on the status of the water pump. It will give an accurate flow rate and confirm proper operation of pump and filter system. It can assist when setting the speed of variable speed pumps to achieve optimal flow rate. I will also help troubleshoot when flow issues are present.
The reading of the F-300 flow meter is simple. Read the level red float in relation to flow marking on the unit for either schedule 40 or schedule 80 pipe. It may be beneficial to mark the flow meter or locally note whether the pipe is schedule 40 or schedule 80.
To read flow, line up the top of the float with the markings on the flow meter.
There are no adjustments necessary, but if you feel the flow is not accurate, we recommend checking the straight length of pipe requirements, ensuring the meter is proper for the pipe size, and/or removing the flow meter for inspection and cleaning.
