    Around £15 and pretty accurate, just used this to check 52000 litres fill.
    That’s what I have been using and it fails all the time

    Yes a water meter.... didn't realise there was a difference until you pointed out out.

    Mine only records volume but I guess a flow meter records litres per minute etc, is that right?

    I use mine to get money off water Bill so they deduct the reading from the main water meter reading and reduce the drainage charges accordingly as partial water changes go over the garden as opposed to the drain.

    they seem to be ok if you running a hose at full pelt, but no good for trickle in trickle out.

    Better of using the water meters off eBay.

    Thanks everyone I think I may have found the reason my Gardena is failing looks like there was carbon in it from my water filter

    Going to give it a good clean and then put some fine mesh on the outlet
