Flow indicator

The only thing I don’t like about them is they don’t seem to have a very long useful life. The wheel can lock up and I have had problems with wheel becoming so cloudy you cannot see through it.

@Silver_Bullet that would be a problem with our water. The hoses and bag need occasional cleaning from "build up". A flow meter is not made to take apart and clean so that would be our issue in the future.

Try soaking them in vinegar to remove the minerals for a day to remove the deposits.

Don't throw your flow indicator out. Clean it! (as mike45 mentioned)

I noticed my flow indicator wasn't spinning so I assumed the nozzle was plugged. So I a clamped off the hose and gave it a couple pinches to try and clear it. That's when I noticed the bag was half empty. After tapping the indicator a few times it started spinning. I later examined the indicator and noticed a build up of presumably baking soda ( which I always use in my enemas). I tried cleaning it with a bleach solution and plain hot water. Neither worked. So I tried white wine vinegar. I put about a cup in my clear 4 qt bag and opened the clamp to just fill the flow indicator and let it sit for about 15 minutes. When I came back I noticed that the white "caked" substance had broken up so I opened the clamped and allowed more vinegar to flow. After doing this a few times my flow indicator looked like new and worked great. I also put a qt. of warm water mixed with 1 cup of vinegar and laid the bag flat with the opening facing up in the sink and let it sit for a couple hours. Bag looked brand new with no film build up. Try it!

I make a slurry of Ivory soap and keep it in a Tupperware cup. One time, a small glob of thick soap got stuck in the flow indicator. A real pain to break free. Hot water finally worked. Love my wheels.

My new flowmeter just arrived, trying it right now, will report back. How can I share a video

I sometime use one, but it just irks me that they are more expensive than they need to be.

They should be about half the price that they are asking.

I like the look of this one:

Thank you @wutdis for suggesting that it can work with 5/16" hose, I think that's the same as 8mm.

Now I just need to figure out what I can tell my wife it's for without telling her what it's really for 😉

@denise

Flow indicators are $11 to $14 at SiliconeNozzles.com

I am at a complete loss to see how that can help show electrolyte fill levels.

@moliere It appears it is intended for golf cart battery maintenance. In order to maintain electrolyte levels, you have to occasional add water to the battery I’m guessing it simply shows that water is moving from whatever resovoir or system their using to get water into the battery. Apparently, it’s not good to over or under fill the battery. Not clear to me either how a flow indicator helps or is needed to do that other than letting you know water is going from point A to point B. Maybe with the system they use it stops flowing when the battery is full, then the indicator would stop

I would be a bit wary of cheap (or no so) flow indicators from Amazon. None of them are advertised as safe with foods. It means that they are made of plastics that can contain potentially harmful contaminants. And in case of plastic products from China, it is almost given. This is not something I would ignore. Most use water about 100F and that increases rate chemicals are released from plastics. Apparently significant increase begins already at 77F. Additionally any solution containing fats or oils, like soaps, make it worse, too.

I guess if there's a float valve it could work, but seems silly. Just take a look at the cells when you have the tops off (like you do with car, tractor, etc. cells...) to see when they're full or look to see when the water level stops dropping if you're talking something that has a cut off. In any case you don't really have to add much water to a lead acid battery under most circumstances.

Now it will do a good job showing the progress of filling your sub (or yourself), but again you would want to couple it with an absolute volume indicator such as a bag or can 😉

It’s a product, looking for a market. But it would work well inline an enema hose.

Would recommend the one from Silicon Nozzles. Had one from OHN which didn’t work at all.

I think flow indicators for enemas purposes are just a gimmick, introduced by some porn producers to show that the water is actually flowing and enema is real, and differentiate then from many fakes where either bag is empty or clamp is never released.

For personal use I can feel that water is filling me and feel the rate without a need for flow indicator. And as @moliere noted, the bag is ultimate volume indicator and flow is just measuring volume change over time. In D/s situations when sub cannot see the bag, they can feel the flow anyway.

Amazon, bought a couple. I inserted them an 8nch or so under the enema bag, ii can reduce the flow and make it last. If the hose gets k8nked or clogged I know it.

Hi, have been using the Silicone Nozzles ones for years.

Only time I have had problems, is when flushing bag and hose with boiling water to clean them out as general maintenance.

Killed the flow indicator !

Use a vinegar solution for better results as someone else also suggested.

S/N also have a great Roller Clamp as well..

I don't have one and its certainly not a necessity, but its a neat visual! In an activity where just setting up the kit is enough to create an anticipatory erection it seem like a reasonable investment. After all, most every enema taken by us zityzens is for sexual pleasure, not need. If a $20 buck items adds some sexual heat to your rig, it doesn't really have to add value in a mechanical or economical sense.

The less expensive was on Aliexpress https://en.zity.biz/gallery/image/253306
