![]() ![]() We just didn't want customers to expect a bit too much.Īnyway, this looks like a great forum. ![]() Unfortunately, people don't know how stable the flow is until after meter is installed. If you have a system that actually stays above the 0.5gpm all the time, it is still quite accurate. Since flow actually fluctuates in a real system we had a couple users with a drip zone running at 0.6 but would clearly dip below the 0.5 threshold making the meter bounce between 0.0 and 0.6. The statement about totalization was added because even thought it actually is roughly 10% accurate between 0.5 and 0.9, it can't read below 0.5. If you guys ever have any product suggestions, don't hesitate to reach out.Ī quick comment on the 0.5gpm to 0.9gpm note that is referenced in this thread. I just wanted to let you know that we are looking to add wireless for next season. I'm from Everydrop and just wanted to say that I am glad that you have had good experiences with our flowmeter (The Rachio version and our own). Just a bummed that such a slick product is now off the market. If you know what you are doing as a professional you should know when this meter should or shouldn't be installed, know where and how to install it, and understand systems well enough to properly set it up. It would have been great if it could have at least remained a Pro only product. Unfortunately, since Rachio's wireless protocol for their meter was developed internally, there likely won't be another product that comes out with that same wireless capability.īased on experience, I can see how these could be troublesome installs for non-professionals. Ones that are completely independent from Rachio. The company that made these is working on some new products it looks like. For whatever reason, that business relationship now appears to be over. Sounds like the meter was being made by another company that was private labeling it for Rachio. Well, it’s great to see ideas to solve my problem and the desire to solve the problem, too.Looking into things a bit more, this may be a mix between install issues and business issues. I view those as exceptions and the flow when not running would need to be enabled or disabled and installs with these exceptions would have to disable the warning or live with false positives Regarding hoses on line and pool fills, etc. This solution might result in low flow messages, but if it was at a known time then that could be a comfort that the system checked and things seem to be OK. by Rachio on the backend or manually open a solenoid on a zone to create just enough flow to be measured for the calibration. Or would a minimum flow value need to be shoved into this zone someway - e.g. The zone shutdown wouldn’t help, but at least there would be notification. Then schedule this zone for after the other zones run and if there is a leak that is over the minimum detection level (.5 GPM right?), then it might trigger the high flow alert. only 7 out of 8 or 15 out of 16 zones in use) could that zone be configured on a schedule and calibrated - with no water actually flowing through meter. Hope this - would the following solve the problem?
