Hi,
I have had my machine for about 2 yrs and I have the co2/ar meter that came with it.

For those of you that have the same machine, can you rate this flow meter?

How accurate is this meter and if you were to upgrade what would you get?

sorry don;t have one so no idea what gauge they come with.
i would get one of the flow testers to check the accuracy of the gauge.
a replacement, any decent well known brand, tho i would get a dual outlet version.
tweak it until it breaks

It looks like a cheap generic co2/ar meter you see everywhere. pinchy flow valve seems crude. dual for purge cavity right. i bought a plastic flow with the black base and clear tube to measure flow and though it is in l/m it was less than what the cfm reading said. the inlet on most come out of the left side of meter, but looking for one out the back. Davis? Eastwood? Sparc?

i can't recommend brands as i'm other side of the world and most i have is cheap ones anyway. tho harris is a common good brand here.
however you can certainly get twin outlet with inlet at the back.
