Brian,
The RM and VF series are quite economical and you can get various accuracies depending on models/features, or even do the NIST thing, but I wouldn't go that far.
I believe Ted had a VF series at esshup's gig when you guy's were playing around with it. I may have scolded someone here for not holding it in proper attitude
I have the RM series with the needle valve for air and a couple of the VF for clean water. Gotta find them tho, but they are in a box someplace. (recently moved and boxes all over)
Nice thing about using a flowmeter, as well as a pressure gauge is you can get an indication of declining performance. This is what is was when everything is new, now pressure and flow are changing and then you can then trace the system back and find out why. Neat little preventative maintenance or potential failure tools.
Nothing fancy on this rig. Intex pools should be here either this Friday or next Monday.
Basically have about 1200 sq-ft in the basement to work with. Working on a floor layout in Autocad on how everything is going to fit and how I'm gonna run the electrical and plumbing.
Bought 4 stock tanks earlier this year, (have 6) but don't think I'll be using them for anything significant. Probably only use the 2 rubbermaid's, and want to use a 3' x 8' oval tank and create a little stream type tank and possibly get some creek chubs. Baitfish are a bunch of fun!, but don't think I can get that one down the basement, well, without some demolition.
There are limitations of what I can get down there in one piece. Petco had a sale on 40G breeder tanks, so I got 4 of them. I built a 1 piece stand for all 4 to the maximum size I could get down there, and with care I cleared everything by 1/4". Reason I did that is I had to redesign my rectangular tanks to a 2 piece assembly to get them down stairs. I made the wood stand quite heavy, but it's still quite a bit lighter than the steel sections and just didn't want to get anything stuck.
Waiting on word for some YP from Ohio.
