TOM Aquarium Flow Meter (measures 50gph to 250gph flow rate)

This item is a must have for fish guys installing UV, Ozone, plumbing and wet and dry filters. without this, there is noway to tell the water flow rate at all.

We recently installed a UV sterilizer in our 135 gallon saltwater tank. In order to be effective in controlling algae/parasites, the flow through it has to be within a certain range. This flow meter has held out tremendously! We have it installed inline and we have a valve so we can adjust the flow to where it needs to be.

Not many options out there for monitoring water flow(GPM)on aquarium filters....this little gem is worth it's weight in gold.

Very inexpensive yet works as advertised.

3/4" hose barb fittings on each end or if you remove these adapters you have 3/4" MPT (male pipe thread) to add your own fittings.

I transitioned to 1/2" hose barbs due to my tubing sizing from my Marineland C-220 canister filter that feeds this flow meter.

These are vital for monitoring flow rate for UV sterilizers......that's what I'm doing.

By adding a simple valve to the output you can control the flow rate to exactly what you need.

I rate this item top notch for it price and performance.

Easy to clean out also due to it's screw off cap.

While this does do its job the limited flow rating on it is a big con. The cheap price and good construction make it worth while if its within your desired flow rate.

I don't use this for an aquarium, so my comments might not apply to your situation, I use this with garden hoses and that is the trouble. The fittings are not hose threads, they are pipe threads. The supplied barbs would work to splice into a hose, but they are too big for common 3/4 and 5/8 inch garden hose. I found some smaller barbs with big enough flanges to work with the ring nuts on this thing, so I'm good, but it was a hassle. Accuracy is good enough for my needs.
