There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However, after the first year, I started to notice problems with one not measuring flow rate anymore, even though the battery was fine and the screen still lit up. The numbers just didn't increase.
Then the other one started acting flaky, and neither one of them was recording flow, yet both still had power. (Update: that second one seems to be working again, for now, so I will put it back in the "flaky" category, not the "broken" category. The other one doesn't seem to want to play along, though.)
Update #2: I am bumping this back up to five stars, because when I removed the one that wasn't working, I noticed that there was something caught in the tiny impeller blade that measures the flow, and once I cleared that out, it started working again just fine.
It's not a very complex mechanism, it just has this tiny fan blade inside of it, and once it was clear, I could blow air through it and see the numbers increase. So, I once again recommend these, both are working, and if you run into any troubles, take it off and make sure you can spin the little fan inside. 👍
6/14/18 *Update* DO NOT BUY....JUNK. Literally used 2 times...Once for testing to make sure it was accurate and it was. However, there was some water leaking into the battery compartment that I dried out and then stored in original packaging. The second time I used the water meter water was leaking from below the digital screen where it attaches to the meter body. When I say leaking water, I mean shooting at least 6 -9 pinhole size streams in ALL directions & major water in the battery compartment. I am outside of Amazon's return policy time limit. I will call the company because there is a 6-month warranty from date of purchase. AGAIN...SAVE YOUR MONEY
6/15/18 *Update* Again, DO NOT BUY this water meter!! Called P3 International and spoke to customer No-Service. The gentleman was very rude and acted like he was annoyed. I was told to send an email to tech support along with my receipt asking for a replacement. After receiving an RMA #, I would then have to send THEIR DEFECTIVE product back to them...with no reimbursement for the shipping. When I asked to clarify the returning process, the Customer No-Service only became ruder a then hung up without saying a word. Annoyed, I then called Amazon to complain about the product, the company and customer service that they were working with. Amazon apologized and graciously gave me a one-time replacement of the product and offered to pay for the return shipping back to Amazon. Sadly, I have low hopes that this new replacement low-quality product will hold up either. PLEASE SAVE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND SPEND IT ON QUALITY PRODUCTS FROM A GOOD COMPANY (NOT P3 International, IMO) WHO RESPECTS IT'S CUSTOMERS.
I love the one that works, though!
