Blue-White F-30200P Flowmeter (2″ PVC, 20–120 GPM)
The Blue-White F-30200P is an industry-standard pitot-tube flowmeter designed for 2″ pool and spa plumbing systems. It provides a reliable, real-time reading of water flow (in gallons per minute or liters per minute), helping pool owners and service professionals verify circulation rates, filter turnover, and ensure adequate flow for heaters, chlorinators, and other equipment.
Key Features
- Measures flow in 2″ PVC systems — 20 to 120 GPM on Schedule 40 piping (slightly lower on Schedule 80).
- Clear, one-piece acrylic body with easy-to-read, dual GPM/LPM scale printed on both sides.
- Pitot-tube sensor design for accurate flow measurement in closed-pipe systems.
- Includes stainless-steel mounting clamps and a gasket for straightforward installation on existing plumbing.
- Compact and durable construction — suitable for outdoor pool equipment pads, indoor equipment rooms, or commercial systems.

Why Use F-30200P
Installing the F-30200P flowmeter gives pool owners and service professionals a simple, visual way to monitor system flow. Whether you’re balancing turnover rates, checking for pump or filter problems, verifying flow for heaters or salt systems, or ensuring adequate circulation after maintenance — this flowmeter helps confirm your system is operating as expected. Its durable build and easy install make it a practical, low-maintenance addition to any pool or spa plumbing setup.
Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Mount on a straight section of 2″ PVC or copper pipe — avoid elbows or fittings near the meter for accurate readings.
- Drill a pitot-tube hole at the 12 o’clock position (top of horizontal pipe) or appropriate mounting point for vertical runs; deburr hole edges before inserting the pitot tube.
- Use the provided stainless-steel clamps and gasket for a secure, leak-resistant install; tighten clamps incrementally and evenly.
- Install downstream of filters (after filtration) when possible — debris upstream can affect flow readings or damage the floating sensor.
- Periodically inspect the flowmeter for cracks or chemical wear, especially if exposed to high chlorine or saltwater systems.
