Below you'll find our selection of garden hose water meters as well as the adapters they need to fit to a standard garden hose end. These meters are lightweight and compact for ease of use at the nozzle end of the hose. That makes it convenient to view the display in realtime as you use water.
Many of our standard mechanical water meters can also be used in garden hose applications at the spigot end. Here, however, you must be sure to securely mount the meter in it's proper orientation. Many times that means horizontally with the register facing upwards. For such meters, you could mount them to a sawhorse or as shown below and run a hose from the nearby spigot to the meter. You could also mount the meter directly to the spigot, but if extreme accuracy is required, you may want to use a 45° fitting to make it more horizontal.
