FAQ: 

What are the flow rates for the FlowSmart All-in-One (YS5008) at different sizes? 

At .5 inches the FlowSmart All-In-One Ultrasonic Water Meter flow rate is 2.5 cubic meters per hour; at .75 inches, its 4 cubic meters per hour; and at 1 inches, its 6.3 cubic meters per hour.

For the YS5008, Is the built-in battery replaceable?

Yes, the built-in high power lithium battery is replaceable, although it requires cutting the seal and opening the case. We carry replacement batteries in our California warehouse.


What are the differences between the FlowSmart Water Meter (YS5007 and YS5006) and the Flow Smart All in One (YS5008)?

The FlowSmart NSF Water Meter (YS5007 and YS5006) is a mechanical water meter that provides readings of water flow but does not have a built-in valve. In contrast, the Flow Smart All in One (YS5008) is an ultrasonic water meter that not only provides readings of water flow but also includes a built-in valve.

For the YS5008, the standard setup position is horizontal. Can the display be faced on the side or at the bottom? Can it be installed both horizontally and vertically?

Yes, the display can be faced on the side or at the button. Yes, the water meter can be installed both horizontally and vertically. However, please note that vertical installation is only possible in an upflow direction, not downflow.

What is the accuracy of the FlowSmart All-in-One (YS5008)?

The accuracy of the YS5008 is 0.1L.

Why does the FlowSmart All-In-One reduce the pipe diameter?

The measurement tube inside the meter is designed this way to ensure accurate ultrasonic measurement of water flow. While this does reduce the internal diameter a little bit, it is necessary for the precise functioning of the meter and it will not affect the water pressure and flow, it is much less affect compared to the mechanical water meters.

If the YS5008 ultrasonic water meter is designed for a maximum pipe size of 1 inch, but my water pipe is 1.25 inches, can I still use the YS5008?

Yes, you can install a 1-inch ultrasonic water meter on a 1.25-inch water pipe. While it may slightly affect the water pressure at the house outlet, it will not impact normal usage, measurement accuracy, or damage the ultrasonic water meter.

What water pressure can the YS5008 handle?

The Ultrasonic Water Meter can handle water pressures up to 230 psi, which is equivalent to 1.6 MPa.

Does the YS5008 have a pressure measurement feature?

No, the Ultrasonic Water Meter does not include a pressure measurement feature. It is designed to measure water flow and consumption but does not measure water pressure.

What is the overall length of the water meter with the spuds?

Does the YS5008 come with a 5V power adapter?

No, the product does not include the 5V power adapter. While the option for an external 5V power supply is available, we did not include the adapter because the built in battery is designed to last more than 10 years and is waterproof. In most cases, customers will not need the external power supply. However, if you prefer using the external power supply, it is an option, and you can purchase the adapter separately.

How frequently are the data sets for 'Today' and 'This Month' refreshed?

They are refreshed every hour at most and the 'Today' dataset is updated real-time. 

For the YS5008, what is the readout update rate for the display and the app?

The device's display updates data in real time. If the device detects water flow, the app will update the data after one or two minutes. If no water flow is detected, the app will update the data every hour.

Why does my daily water consumption shown seem to differ from the consumption displayed on the bar graph?

This discrepancy may occur if your device was disconnected from the hub at some point. When this happens, the hourly data on the bar graph is not recorded, though the water consumption is still tracked locally on the device. Once the connection is restored, the total water consumption is updated, but the hourly consumption data remains missing. 

What is the waterproof rating of the FlowSmart All-in-One? 

The YS5008 is rated IP67.

What is the tolerance scope of the FlowSmart All-in-One YS5008?

At low flow rates, the error is ±3%. At high flow rates, the error is ±1.5%.

Can the valve be installed outside?

The FlowSmart All-In-One has a waterproof rating of IP67. If you plan to install it outdoors, we recommend using a protective box for added safety.

Is the FlowSmart All-in-One (YS5008) lead-free?

Yes, it is made of stainless steel and is lead-free.
