![]() If I ever sell my house and move I will be taking my Rachio 3 controller and wireless flow meter with me. ![]() Why prevent millions of Rachio 3 customers or future customers from having a a wireless flow meter that would work perfect for them, like Me? I couldn’t be happier with my Rachio Wireless Flow Meter. No company has one product that works perfectly for everyone. But I am sure there are millions of people like me who are on city water and have a simple basic set up, like mine, that would love to have a wireless flow meter. Our flow meters are designed to meet with relevant regulatory discharge and MCERTS requirements. I know well pumps and other anomalies can cause a problem with the flow meter. A SIRIS clamp on ultrasonic flow meter carry MCERTS accreditation so you can be confident that the data provided is reliable and accurate and will provide accurate and reliable long-term flow measurement. My system consists of a double check valve back flow preventer, my wireless flow meter and a 4 zone /valve manifold. Like I said I have a basic irrigation system. For 1-inch or ¾-inch copper or PVC pipe, you will need 17 inches of straight pipe between the backflow preventer and valve box. ![]() The system must have a ¾-inch or 1-inch pipe made of either copper, PVC, PEX, or SDR-9 poly. Include instructions or diagrams showing which type of system and install it is designed for. The flow meter is not rated for potable water and must be installed after the backflow preventer. I would like to suggest that Rachio bring back the wireless flow meter with a disclaimer saying that it is intended to be used only on standard/basic homeowner irrigation systems and not intended for commercial, non standard or complicated systems. Rachio said they discontinued the wireless flow meter because that there are so many different types of irrigation systems and installations that too many people were having issues with the flow meters not working properly because of the many different types of installations. I have a basic 4 zone system and the flow meter is preforming flawlessly as designed. The install and set up went smooth just like the instructions said. I just installed my wireless flow meter last month and it works great.
