BWT Water Meter 1000

Keep track of your water filter’s lifespan with the BWT Water Meter 1000. Designed for precision monitoring, this smart water meter measures water flow, tracks filter usage, and alerts you when it’s time for a replacement, ensuring consistent water quality and optimal machine performance.

Smart Monitoring for Maximum Efficiency

Managing water filter capacity can be challenging without accurate tracking. The BWT WM1000 solves this by using a turbine flow sensor to measure water usage and display real-time data on an easy-to-read LCD. It allows programmable monitoring based on time and volume, ensuring filters are changed at the right time for uninterrupted performance.

How It Works

• Install Batteries: Insert the two included AAA batteries.
• Set Capacity & Timing: Use the reset and display buttons to program filter life in liters (up to 99,500 L) and days (up to 720 days).
• Monitor Usage: The LCD tracks remaining filter capacity, elapsed time, and flow rate.
• Receive Alerts: Audible alarms sound when the filter is near capacity or requires replacement.
• Reset After Replacement: Press the reset button after changing the filter to maintain accurate tracking.
