We have 8 units on one water meter. Can these be placed on each unit so we know how much water each tenant is charged

I suppose in theory, yes. But this is not a rugged device and it has garden hose connections. You would have to convert from hose threads to pipe threads and then plumb in this device. But I don't think it will hold up over time. And, I believe it has a battery, so if the battery runs out, you will lose the reading. And, you would have to constantly replace batteries. This device is really intended for short term use by irrigation system designers to determine flow rates. I would look for a better solution if I were you.

I have to imagine there would be a better way to achieve that. First, I don't think this product is of high enough quality to handle constant pressure, it's really just a hose hook up. Second, as a tenant I would reset mine as soon as I found it.

Should be able to buy a 5/8" meter from a major plumbing supply house for under $40 each. Ask for a plastic body unit. This will last many years, designed to be underground, water proof, etc.

I believe you could however I recommend that you put a washer machine screen the kind used on the inlet hose on a washer machine. on the inlet side of the meter to keep any debris such as dogs logs frogs getting caught in the turbine that spins and counts the gallons of water.

No. These devices will break within a month and are not meant for accurate water measurement.

No. Only one zone will be active at a time (it's a water pressure issue really). You can set them all at the same time, but they'll end up running back to back.

I don't know but if you visit their website they list the ones that correspond to each unit

I don't see why not. I would put them on different time delays for a power failure so they both wouldn't try to call you at the same time. I assume you want two units for temperature monitoring.

I have no idea--it may be listed on a sticker attached to the base unit. But I am not sure.

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure.You can contact their website with questions.I believe they make a meter also.

You can either purchase one unit by itself for a certain price or purchase a 2 count which will represent two of these units or you can purchase four of the units. The size of unit does not change just the number of these that you wish to purchase for different areas of your home. I hope this helps!

It really will not give you flow ***RATE*** (e.g. gallons used per hour), unless you TIME your usage. It simply provide the gallons (or liters, depending on your selection) that flow THROUGH it, including cumulative. It not necessarily provide usage DETECTION unless you continuously check the cumulative amounts to see if they are different. It's truly (and simply!) a water METER. Hope this helps! I'm REALLY liking mine for my RV. I know how much water I put in my tank, or use when connected to "City Water".

I do not recall how many units you can use, but it is definitely many. (with auto-transfer/zero-passing) Unless this place is made of steel and concrete however, you will likely need very few. The building I have them in is brick and steel. 1 unit covers nearly the whole first floor and some of the second. They are very strong.

I thought the same thing but for the price I would just order another unit if I needed more than one. There are 31 so you would not need every month. Don't really know the answer unless you keep the original box so you could try to contact the manufacturer.

If you have some way of connecting them. It is an individual unit. I would not recommend it.

YES, I can answer this question. You should fill water station to 'water level that is indicated'. You should check periodically depending on the thirst of your pet (s).

Only one water outlet will work at a time. You have to dial in which one you want to work. (1 or 2)

For water, you could use this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Web-Based-Water-Metering-with-ioBridge/

I doubt if it will work as each unit only has 4 addresses, ie: 1 thru 4. So if you want to have 8 stations, you'll have 2 of each address

Late response to old question, but if anyone is still interested in also monitoring water and/or gas metering, check out Brultech and in particular their GEM product.

If the units are placed next to each other does it display the air temperature..? If not then the unit is faulty or it is not set up correctly.
