3. Operating Instructions
The Geevon Water Flow Meter features a single button for all operations. The LCD display will automatically sleep if there is no operation or water flow for 1 minute.
Measurement Modes:
The device offers four distinct measurement modes:
- Single Water Usage (Consumption Mode): Displays the water consumed during a single watering session.
- Real-time Water Flow Rate (Flow Mode): Shows the current rate of water flow (e.g., gallons per minute or liters per minute).
- 7-Day Average Water Consumption (Average Mode): Calculates and displays the average daily water consumption over the last seven days.
- Total Water Consumption (Total Mode): Accumulates and displays the total water consumed since the last reset.

Button Functions:
- Short Press: Switches between the four measurement modes (Consumption → Flow → Average → Total).
- Long Press (in Flow Mode): Switches the units between gallons (GAL) and liters (L).
- Long Press (in other modes - Consumption, Average, Total): Resets the displayed data for that specific mode.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your water flow meter.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
