RAINPOINT Water Meter, 4 Measure Modes for Outdoor Garden Hose

I attached this water-flow meter to my garden hose the day it arrived, and I’m genuinely impressed by how much it’s changed my watering routine. **Installation** Twist-on simple. No leaks, no fuss—took under a minute. **Functionality** This meter does exactly what it promises, and then some. The real-time flow rate display, total volume tracking, and ability to reset between uses make it incredibly versatile—perfect for everything from watering plants to filling pools or monitoring RV usage. The controls are intuitive, and switching modes is seamless. It’s a smart tool that takes the guesswork out of water management. **Accuracy & Readout** The digital display is bright even in full sun, and the readings match my home’s meter almost exactly. Switching between gallons, liters, and total volume makes it easy to track usage for different beds. **Build Quality** Sturdy ABS housing and rubberized seals feel ready for Colorado summers and the occasional drop onto concrete. After two weeks of daily use it still looks brand-new. **Water-Saving Benefits** Seeing precise flow numbers has helped me cut watering time by about 25%. That’s real savings on the bill and a big eco win. **Bonus Features** • The screen auto-shuts after a few minutes to save battery. • Fits perfectly with my existing quick-connect set. **Bottom Line** If you care about healthy plants *and* responsible water use, this little gadget punches way above its price. Highly functional, dependable, and worth every penny.

I have 4 of these things in my 4 raised bed gardens , had 2 and worked really well so I got 2 more now I have one for each bed. You can defiantly save a lot of water and know how much your watering with these water meters. You can go to the GPM screen and look at the flow how many gals. you want to water and how large a area for a give amount of time. If you want 1" of water so if your area is 10' x 25' = 250 sq. ft. . It take .623 gal. to equal 1" of water per sq. ft.. So you take 250 x .623 = 155.75 min / 60 = 2.60 hrs. to get 1" of water on that size of area., and it tells you how many gals. you put out. I have regulators on so I can adjust the flow, If you want to have a more soaking watering you can dial back your pressure but increase your time and you can get the same amount of water. The rain don't hurt them at all there on my gardens and so far no water got inside of the unit, No leaking fittings so far they fell like a good meter, I like that you can flip the screen over so you can read it. The reverse flow would be handy to do which I didn't need to but I can see where ti would come in handy.

Works awesome, wish i'd bought one sooner to keep up with how much water I was putting in my RV fresh water tank.

Works great. Love that it stores how many gallons last used and the flow rate. That you can flip the display is extremely helpful too. Absolutely worth it to have!

Seems very solid and well built, better than expected. Larger than expected, think tennis ball, but small enough to keep on a boat or RV. Accuracy stated at +-5%, higher than I prefer, but in this price range that's typical. Mine tested to be less than 2% high at 3 gal/min. Wish it had a calibration feature in the software to adjust accuracy, but knowing my unit is within 1 gal at 50 gals measured is useful. Display rotating 180* is easy, so is measuring flow in both directions and conveniently labeled. 3 modes are selectable, Last mode resets itself at 30 secs if water stops, Total 1 and 2 are reset manually. Can't assess durability yet, but chose brass inlet/outlet to prevent damage to threads from periodic use. Instructions are also better than most, but still a few translation errors that cloud intent. Powers off automatically and takes a button cell CR2032. Probably 5 stars if it hold up, despite noted minor shortcomings.
