I bought something similar, but I'm still waiting to recieve it, it's fairly accurate, and simple to use also this kind of flow meter isn't to big of a flow killer.
Look at McmasterCarr for those. All those non mechanical flow meters are very expensive.
That one looks to only go up to 100GPH? The pump I plan on using is rated 1,100GPH+. Will be one of the one's on this site. http://www.aquatictech.com/pumps.html

After getting the pump installed it should be able to put more than 100GPH through the system. I have been serching and serching for flow meters and I found quite a few of them and they all seem pretty close to 2.5% to 3% accuracy. I am not opposed to paying $300, but for that price it better be better than a $40 one. Also not opossed to a paddle wheel one as the pump should easily handle the extra flow restriction. If I have to I will get a spendy one but if I don't then I will not.
