Nice, I have a 1.5" return and 3 1.5" drains.
Good point on the debris. I wonder what kind of maintenance these will require to keep them clean and reading the flow right.

Grrrrr..... I just noticed this part " British Standard Parallel Pipe (BSPP) "
Can they be submerged?

Why would they not provide these with NPT or IPT threads? Neptune is an American company, why not start off with providing the sensors with the pipe threads common to North America first and then provide alternate thread types for other markets as the sensors are rolled out in those markets. Makes me wonder if the COR pumps will come with an offshore thread type... |

Neptune Systems FMM/FMK
From what I understand the sensor itself has BSPP threads (standard worldwide except US) and if you order from BRS they will include unions which adapt the BSPP thread to PVC slip. Essentially makes the threading irrelevant. I assume the flow sensor itself is manufactured by an overseas company hence the BSPP threads.

I would also assume the US is their largest market.

FWIW, the ETM Vectra has the same BSPP 'problem'.

It also has the problem of not being Apex controllable. Why I went with a Waveline Apex ready version. I would have totally went with an L1 if it was.

Interesting. I can't find DKH monitoring in any of the features lists for this module. How are they measuring it?

They licensed that gizmo at MACNA with a name I cannot recall from the guy who's name I also cannot recall .... clear? At the show it was connected to a BNC pH port.

I heard they bought it. But is it in actual production now? I don't recall seeing it the last time I looked at their product catalogue

I didnt even think of this till you mentioned it. I was all about the solenoid, main return, and such but that would be a great backup to know the flow...
Darn now I might need to buy this but then I have to rejig my control cabinet to fit it...

Looks like its not good for drip flow monitoring. 3gph minimum required

I need just the BSPP adaptors.
Can anyone point me to a source to purchase? Looking to go from a G 1-1/4 thread to 1-1/4" USA.
