Hello all,

i’m looking into buying 3 flowmeters. I’m from Europe and shipping costs from the US are a bit high. So i am looking for an alternative for the Adafruit flowmeters. What are the specs of a usable meter?

I found these https://www.hobbyelectronica.nl/product/water-flow-sensor/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA1pyCBhCtARIsAHaY_5cXJZTihz-nzFP7pssrVlSlHF0CCamelwutabqAuodkqZXC6IkzLp4aAodEEALw_wcB

They look exactly the same.

Thanks in advance,
Patrick

Ok, i think i get it. It doesn’t matter what kind of meters i use, i need to calibrate them anyway.

Cheers,
Patrick

I went through quite few in my testing before settling on YF-S401:
