dwyer meter problem

[powdertang05]

ok im having a problem with my new dwyer meter i dont know if im doing something wrong or what but i got the 100-20 L/min air meter and i put a JG on the top hole and ive tried it on 7 pumps so far and the ball doesnt move or moves little below 10 lPM oct 1000, mod oct 1000, oct 2000, mod oct 2000, oct 3000, mod oct 3000, ehiem 1262 and every time its nothing. btw this is my first dwyer meter so maybe im just a newb on this.

Is it 20-100 lpm? None of those pumps will pull more than about 10lpm. Even the eheim will only pull about 14.

you serious i know that the oct 1k or the oct 2k wont but the oct 3k and the modded people were getting 20 or more some were saying 45 lpm ok so i didnt get the wrong meter i just got to high of one so i would have gotten a 50 or less dang it ill have to call dwyer to see if they will exchange it. btw yes its a 20-100 L/min

The octopus 3K can get in the 45-50scfh range, with serious tweaking. Stock it pulls about 15scfh.


2.1scfh = 1 lpm.


So your meter is in the 45-210 schf range. A needlewheel dart pulls about 100 scfh.

Don't feel bad ... I did the same thing. I bought a 0-100 though. Even that was too big for the pumps I am playing with.

[powdertang05]

were u able to return it?

Luckily I got a great deal on eBay and was actually able to make money off of the sale :)

I ended up buying an RMA 22 Airflow Meter 2-25 lpm
