Water Watchdog is a precision electronic
flow-measuring device that accurately tracks the consumption of water used
from your tank regardless of size/shape/material or number.
There are two Water Watchdog models. The basic flow meter (Model BF-15) is
an all mechanical device that must be located where it can be easily read.
Model BFR-15 offers greater flexibility since it includes a remote counter
that can be located anywhere on board. It is powered by a lithium battery
and requires no connection to your electrical system. Battery life is in
excess of 2 years.
Below is a typical installation. The unit is placed as close as possible
to the outlet of your water pressurizing pump. The unit measures the amount
of water that flows from the pump throughout your system regardless of number
of tanks it is drawing from or number of outlets that are being supplied.
Your specific installation will require fittings based on your specific
plumbing materials (copper, plastic, rubber, etc.) but normally can be purchased
at a local hardware store. Specific instructions are shipped with each unit.
In normal operation, once all of your tanks are full you simply press a
reset button on the remote counter, (Model BFR-15 only), so that the
reading is zero. As water is drawn out of the tank (or tanks) the counter
will indicate the number of gallons (or liters) used since the last
fill-up. With Model BF-15, a written record of the meter reading should be
kept at each fill-up. To determine water usage, simply subtract the
reading taken at fill-up from the present reading.
Water Watchdog is covered by a limited one-year warranty. |
