best flow meter for your buck?

[cjf12]

Bought all used equipment and slowly everyone of them is showing me its weakness. Makes ya wish you just bought new to a degree.
Anyway. My flow meter quit on me and I believe it is just the meter part and not the digital display. But I cant find just the meter.
What brand are most of your ro's running? Mine is just a 1/2 meter on a 4" membrane.
Lot of cheap ones on ebay. But are they just that cheap?

I'm in the process of building a ro and I ordered a few off eBay. I'm also curious if they are any good. I guess we'll see once I get it up and running for next season

I ended up getting hydronix pfm 055. Found 3 for 50 bucks on ebay as well. We will see. Im hoping i can use them horizontally instead of vertically.

Be careful with that. There are small passages in there that can block up with any contamination. If it is on your feed line to the float box, smoke ensues. You don't need to ask how I know!

You can put a strainer upstream and clean it regularly.
