Go ahead and get ugly with me. I enjoy a challenge!

I'd like to be within +/- 250 gph for accuracy, but I'm not going to lose sleep over a mistake. I just like to know what's going on with my system.

What I want to do is install an orifice plate or turbine flowmeter but that would be a bit extreme
