I know I am asking for a lot but does anyone have a source for an inexpensive water meter that is resetable so I can meter the water from my HLT going into the MLT.

I'd like to better understand how a $100 unit that still requires deductive arithmetic was a better solution than a visual sight glass for 1/4 of the price? There had to be some kind of reason but it's just not apparent.

Bling Factor is my guess.
I'd think a sight glass installed in the HLT would be cheaper no?
Because I do not like sight glasses plain and simple. I want to go with a meter and that is what I did.
Welcome to brewing done as hard as possible. Most of those meters aren't super accurate. What type of system do you use? Why not pre measure out your strike and sparge water. Then just heat and transfer.
I wasn't calling you an a$$hole for choosing a meter but I was genuinely curious why it was a better solution for you. What does a sight glass NOT do for you? Maybe I want a meter.
Very similar to what I was thinking. Man...you guys like to brew the hard way!
Not sure how it is the hard way? I just turn the pump on when the meter is at the correct value I shut the pump off. I have tested the meter with a graduated 5g bucket and have always been spot on. In the past I would fill the graduated 5g bucket and dump it into the MLT. This has eliminated some lifting.
What would be really cool is if it were electronic and something like the brewtroller could use it to measure liquid amounts.
