A flip-screen meter for hose routes
The RAINPOINT Water Flow Meter with Brass Inlet and Outlet adds a screen-based reading point to a garden hose route. The display can flip, which helps the reading face the person filling, watering, or checking the route.
The meter can read gallons or liters during container filling, sprinkler sessions, hose-nozzle watering, and garden station checks.
Useful for repeatable watering notes
A measured route becomes clearer when the number is written beside the place. A gardener can record a patio container fill, a lawn patch sprinkler run, or a bed-edge watering pass with a water-use number and a run time.
Those notes work nicely with catch cups and rain gauges. The meter shows what moved through the hose, while cups and gauges show what collected in a spot.
Treat it like a small faucet-side instrument
Set the display direction before turning on the water. Check both threaded ends during the first pass, then keep the screen visible until the session is done.
Drain and store the meter after use. A dry storage spot near timers, splitters, pressure gauges, and notebook supplies keeps the tool ready for the next watering check.
