INSTALLATION & USE
Panel Mount Setup
- Cut appropriate hole in panel for meter body clearance and mount according to Blue & White panel mount specifications
- Apply thread sealant tape to 1/4" male NPT connections and thread into female NPT fittings in your water line, ensuring flow direction matches meter arrow
- Hand-tighten connections plus one full turn with wrench, avoiding over-torque on acrylic body
- Pressurize system gradually and verify flow reading falls within 1-11 GPH operating range for accurate measurement
COMPATIBILITY
Application Range
The F-505E is designed for low-flow applications including reverse osmosis system permeate monitoring, ice machine feed lines, small commercial beverage equipment, and hydroponic nutrient delivery systems. The 1/4" MPT connections match standard compression and push-connect fittings used throughout the water treatment industry. The 1-11 GPH range is ideal for monitoring production rates on residential RO membranes and ensuring consistent flow in precision dosing applications.
🔧 Pro Tip: Install the F-505E on the product water side of your RO system to monitor membrane performance over time. A declining GPH reading indicates membrane fouling or pressure loss before it affects water quality.
