    The E-Flow uses highly accurate and reliable radar planar microwave technology to capture the true velocity and depth of flow zero contact with the flow. With the simple software to configure your E-Flow you can record and measure flow in any channel shape, whilst sending measure flow, level, and velocity seamlessly over the 4G network to view in realtime on the cloud platform.
