I visited my local surplus store and found 2 good items.They had plastic cylindrical flow meters about 12 inches long and 1 inch diam.1 to 15 gph water. They also had a themometer which was a flow-throughstyle made for water. Has a alcohol /glass element. Has water inlet on one end and output on other. and its a panel mount style !The flow meter can be dia assy'd in case I have to adjust the scale. It has a brass"pea" which levitates in the conical bore. I can make a new one to change the scaleif I need to ! Cool! Tim
