5. Operating Instructions

The Geevon Water Flow Meter features four measurement modes to suit your needs. Use the single button on the front to navigate and reset values.

5.1. Measurement Modes

• Consumption Mode (SINGLE): Displays the water consumed for a single watering session. This value can be reset for each new use.
• Flow Rate Mode (GAL/Min or L/Min): Shows the real-time water flow rate, indicating how much water is passing through the meter per minute.
• Average Mode (AVG): Calculates and displays the average daily water consumption over a 7-day period.
• Total Mode (TOTAL): Accumulates the total water consumption over time. This value is not easily reset and provides a long-term record of water usage.

5.2. Switching Modes and Resetting

• To Switch Modes: Briefly press the button on the front of the meter. Each press will cycle through the four modes: Consumption, Flow Rate, Average, and Total.
• To Reset Consumption Mode: While in Consumption Mode, press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds until the display resets to zero.
• To Reset Average Mode: While in Average Mode, press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds until the display resets.
• To Reset Total Mode: The Total Mode is designed for cumulative measurement and typically does not have a simple reset function to prevent accidental data loss. Refer to troubleshooting or contact support if a full reset is required.
• To Switch Units (Gallons/Liters): While in Flow Rate Mode, press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds to toggle between Gallons per Minute (GAL/Min) and Liters per Minute (L/Min). This unit change will apply to all measurement modes.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Geevon Water Flow Meter.

• Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the meter with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Filter Screen: The water inlet features a filter screen to prevent debris from entering the meter. Regularly inspect and clean this screen to ensure unobstructed water flow and accurate readings. To clean, disconnect the meter, unscrew the inlet connection, and rinse the screen under running water.
• Battery Replacement: When the display becomes dim or the meter stops functioning, it's time to replace the CR2032 battery. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during freezing temperatures, disconnect the meter from the water source and hose. Drain any remaining water and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent damage.
