We have this one

Cheers mate, do you know what 'pulse output' is needed as it has options 'no pulse or 1 pulse/10 litre' ? Also i take it i'll need some flexi fittings or something to connect to tap?

No worries.
Pulse-no idea, but I haven't got it.
I connected it up, didn't turn the water on, took a picture of it with a time/date stamp (electronically on iPhone) showing it at 0.
Then take a picture once a month on the same date showing water usage.

I assume you're metering to lower your water bill. This will leave a trail of proof to the water company. Had mine fitted for 6 monthsish but not got the rebate yet.

Ok cool i'll go for no pulse then. I'd like to put my water bill into my tax returns, well this was my first thought, do you mean a rebate from the water board?

Make sure you protect it from frost as in my experience they are prone to damage.

Yeah. It's not a rebate as such.
It's a credit to my account cause even though I pay direct debit-I don't actually pay as I use.
Bills are generated every 6 months and they estimate a lot.
Still-got £100 credited for a £30 pump so can't be bad
