Pool & Spa Flow Meters

Keep your pool or spa running perfectly with our high-quality pool flow meters. These tools make it easy to monitor water circulation, helping you maintain a clean, balanced, and energy-efficient system all year round.

Why Pool Flow Meters Matter

A flow meter for pool systems helps you measure how much water moves through your pump and filter. This lets you quickly detect issues like clogged filters or poor circulation - saving you time, energy, and costly repairs.

Easy to Read and Use

Our pool flow meters are designed for everyday convenience. With clear displays and simple installation, you can instantly check your pool’s performance and make adjustments whenever needed.

Improve Efficiency and Save Energy

When your pool’s flow rate is properly balanced, your pump and heater work more efficiently. This not only extends their lifespan but also helps lower your energy bills.

Built for Durability

Each pool flow meter is made from tough, corrosion-resistant materials that can handle constant water flow, chemical exposure, and outdoor conditions—ensuring long-lasting accuracy.

Ideal for Any Pool or Spa

From small backyard pools to large commercial spas, we offer flow meters for pool systems of all sizes. No matter your setup, you’ll find the perfect fit to keep your water flowing just right.

Frequently Asked Questions

For accurate readings, a flow meter for a pool should be installed on the pressure side of the system (after the filter), and ideally after any heater or chemical feed system so that debris or chemical distortion is minimized. Avoid placing it right at the suction side or immediately after injectors where flow may be turbulent.

Your pool flow meter should show a consistent and reasonable value for gallons per minute (GPM) or litres per minute (L/min) based on your system’s design. Typical metrics: the value should reflect that the pump is circulating all (or a defined fraction) of your pool’s volume within the targeted turnover time. For example, the standard minimum flow rate in some regulations is 36 gpm for residential pools during filtration. Consult your system specification or installer for the precise target.

Flow rate depends on your pool’s volume, plumbing diameter, and desired turnover time. A common guideline: divide the pool’s volume by the turnover time (e.g., all water turned over every 6 hours) to estimate minimum flow. Also consider maximum allowable flow based on pipe size - e.g., a 1½″ pipe often maxes ~45 GPM; a 2″ pipe ~80 GPM.

A digital pool flow meter offers more precision and easier monitoring (readings on a display, often in real-time), which is especially beneficial for larger commercial systems or when automated control/monitoring is required. Analog models still work but may require manual reading and larger clearances for accurate measurement.

Yes. We offer flow meters sized and rated for both residential pools and commercial pool systems. The key is selecting a model with the correct pipe connection size, flow range (GPM/LPM), and environmental/housing rating for your setup.

Regular inspection is advisable - check for debris build-up or fouling, verify the straight-run pipe requirements are still met (especially after plumbing changes), and ensure the sensor or float is operating freely. Annual calibration or verification is a good practice for high-use or commercial setups.

Many meters require a section of straight pipe before and after the installed device to ensure laminar flow. For example: some require ~15” of straight run upstream and ~6” downstream for accurate reading. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific flow meter model.
