Kinks in supply hose may reduce water fl ow and cause injury or death to persons dependant on
water fl ow. When the SHO-FLOW is attached directly to a fi xed supply, it is recommended that an
outlet elbow be used to minimize risk of hoseline kinks.
Turbulence can cause inaccurate readings. Installing the fl ow meter adjacent to turbulence
causing plumbing like elbows, partially gated valves, eductors, and fl at adapters is not
recommended. The best accuracy is assured when the fl ow meter is paired between two sections
of straight hose.
Reverse installation will result in incorrect readings and will damage the device over time. Always
ensure the FLOW arrows on the device point in the direction of fl ow.
