The ShoFlow 1.5″ Self-Powered Bluetooth Flow Meter is a water-driven flow measurement device designed to accurately monitor flow rates in firefighting systems, training scenarios, and equipment testing. Using an internal turbine, the meter generates its own power to transmit real-time flow data via Bluetooth to a smart device, eliminating the need for external batteries or power sources.
Features
- Turbine Power Generation: Uses a water-driven turbine to generate power for continuous operation without batteries
- Debris Handling: Passes debris up to 1 inch in diameter to maintain reliability in real-world conditions
- Low Friction Loss: Engineered to maintain efficient water flow with minimal resistance
Smart Connectivity & Data
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Sends real-time flow data directly to Apple and Android devices
- Mobile App Integration: Works with the free ShoFlow app for monitoring and analytics
- Remote Viewing: Allows crews to share and view flow data remotely for improved coordination
Measurement Accuracy & Performance
- High Accuracy: Delivers readings within ±2.5% for dependable results
- Flow Range Capability: Designed for flow rates between 50–300 GPM (180–1100 LPM)
- Performance Optimization: Helps set pump discharge pressures and evaluate system output
Installation & Design
- Flexible Compatibility: Works with 1.5 inch and 2.5 inch systems across multiple applications
- Rugged Construction: Built to withstand operating pressures up to 300 PSI
- Lightweight Build: Easy to transport, handle, and install in the field
App Tools & Calibration
- Integrated Calculators: Includes tools for flow, PDP, and nozzle reaction calculations
- Easy Calibration: Enables quick calibration using the app and a hand-held pitot
- Multi-Language Support: App is available in seven languages for broader usability
How is it used
The flow meter is installed inline with hoses, nozzles, or monitors in a firefighting water system. As water flows through the unit, the internal turbine generates power and measures flow rate, transmitting the data via Bluetooth to a connected smart device for real-time monitoring and analysis.
Intended for
Firefighters, training personnel, and equipment evaluators who require accurate flow measurement for water delivery systems, pump pressure setup, and performance verification.
Maintenance Information
Regularly inspect the meter for debris or buildup that could impact turbine movement. Verify calibration periodically using the app and a hand-held pitot to maintain measurement accuracy.
Storage Information
Store in a clean, dry environment when not in use. Ensure the unit is free of water and debris before storage to preserve internal components and maintain performance.
