1 / 6Hunter HC100FLOW 1-Inch Irrigation Flow Meter
The Hunter HC100FLOW is a 1-inch irrigation flow meter designed to work with Hydrawise-enabled Hunter controllers. It reports system water use through the controller and can support flow alerts, so it suits irrigation setups where remote monitoring matters, but it depends on a compatible controller and Hydrawise software.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Water-use tracking and flow-rate reporting can help monitor irrigation without visiting the site.
- Configurable flow alerts can help flag possible leaks, broken spray heads, valve issues, or wiring damage.
- Customer feedback specifically mentions easy installation and water totals for a lawn.
Cons
- Requires a compatible Hydrawise-enabled Hunter controller and the Hydrawise monitoring features to use its reporting and alerts.
- The listing provides no stated flow range or accuracy figure, so buyers needing those specifications cannot assess them from the supplied details.
