Water Flow & Pressure

Level tells you how much water you have; flow and pressure tell you what it’s doing. The OGLAS Water Flow & Pressure sensor sits inline and watches the things that go wrong between the source and the tap.

What it does

• Measures flow rate — litres per minute through a line, totalised over time so you know exactly how much moved.
• Measures line pressure — at the pump or anywhere on the line.
• Catches leaks — flow when nothing should be running is a burst pipe or a stuck valve, and it raises an alert straight away.
• Catches blockages and a tiring pump — pressure climbing or falling outside its normal band points to a filter, a kink, or a pump losing its prime.

Hardware

An inline flow meter (pulse or analog) and a pressure transducer, read by an OGLAS node and reported to your hub. Runs from the same supply as a nearby pump, or battery + solar for a remote line.

Pairs well with

• Water Pump — pressure and flow confirm the pump is doing real work, and trigger dry-run shutdown.
• Tank level — flow into the tank should match the level rising; a mismatch is a leak.
• Smart Switch — shut a line down automatically when flow says “leak”.
