Filters. and water meters
I am using SafeWater Products filters. The company gives a greatdiscount for Bronc. patients. However. I can't trust two months or three months recommendation for when to replace them.. too many variables.
Does anyone know of a meter that can be attached to the sink and or the shower to count the gallons of water going through it?

Singer,
Hello! There are small water-flow meters that can measure the gallons passing through a particular faucet or shower, rather than measuring the whole house.
For the shower-You want an inline digital water-flow meter that installs between the shower arm and shower hose/head. It can display flow and/or cumulative gallons.
Many inexpensive meters are designed for garden hoses, so I would not automatically use one on a shower unless it’s rated for potable water and hot-water temperatures.
For a sink- There are also small inline meters that can be installed on the water supply line going to the faucet. Some are specifically designed for water filtration systems and can totalize gallons.
I am not allowed to endorse any particular company but I read that the DigiFlow 6000R tracks accumulated gallons and is designed for relatively low household flow rates. I hope that this information helps you.
