Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Diivoo Water Flow Meter:
- Battery Installation: The device requires 1 Lithium Metal CR2032 battery (included). Open the battery compartment and insert the battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Connect to Water Source: Attach the water flow meter to your garden hose or faucet. Ensure the connection is secure and the flow direction arrow on the meter aligns with the water flow. The meter is designed for standard 3/4-inch hose threads.
- Use Teflon Tape: To prevent leakage, it is recommended to use Teflon tape on the threads of your water source before attaching the meter.
- Install Filter: Ensure the filter is properly installed in the inlet to prevent impurities and dirt from affecting the meter's performance.

Operating Modes
The Diivoo Water Flow Meter offers four distinct measurement modes:
- Flow Mode: Measures real-time water flow rate (e.g., L/min or Gal/min).
- Consumption Mode: Displays single water consumption for a specific task.
- AVG Mode: Shows the average daily water consumption over the last 7 days.
- Total Mode: Tracks total water consumption up to 99999L.
Switching Modes: Press the control button once to cycle through the four measurement modes.
Toggling Units (Gallons/Liters): In Auto Mode (Real-time flow rate), press and hold the button for 3 seconds to switch between gallons and liters.
Resetting Data: In any mode other than Totalize mode, press and hold the button for 3 seconds to reset the displayed data for that specific mode.
Automatic Hibernation: The LCD display will automatically turn off if there is no operation or water flow for 1 minute to conserve battery life.

Maintenance
To ensure the continued optimal performance of your Diivoo Water Flow Meter, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Filter Cleaning: Periodically check and clean the filter located at the inlet to prevent blockages from impurities and dirt. A clogged filter can lead to inaccurate readings or reduced water flow.
- Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or the device stops responding, replace the CR2032 battery. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for instructions.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during freezing temperatures, disconnect the meter from the water source and store it in a dry, protected area.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your water flow meter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Leakage: Ensure Teflon tape is properly installed on the threads and all connections are securely tightened.
- Inaccurate Readings: Check if the filter is clean and unclogged. Perform manual calibration if necessary.
- No Display/No Response: Check the battery and replace it if needed. Ensure the meter is correctly installed and water is flowing through it.
