Alphacool 17356 Eisfluegel Flow Indicator Blue 6-11mm - acryl Water Cooling Monitoring

I spend my Saturdays docenting at the International Printing Museum, in Carson, California. We are a working museum, able to use, demonstrate, and teach classes on most of our collection.A Ludlow Typograph is a hand-set linecasting system. And the mold is water-cooled. And even the newest Ludlows are some 50 years old. I was experiencing problems with clogging in the cooling system, and resolved to add a filter (an ordinary automobile fuel filter) and a flow indicator.The first flow indicator I installed (also purchased on Amazon) was a bit problematic, but it did the job for several years. Having achieved proof-of-concept with that first one, I decided to replace it with a better one, and this is the model I chose. It seems to be less restrictive on coolant flow than the first one, and much easier to see.

It works great for what I need it for and the price was right

It's nice to have this installed inline on my water cooled spindle so that I can verify that the water is flowing.

I use this item to provide a visual indication of water flow for cooling my desktop laser cutter. These things are massively overpriced as a group. I doubt that they cost half as much to make as a happy meal toy but this one appeared to be the best value out of many on the market. Shipping was quick and installation was easy. It provides the required visual indication of water flow.

I bought one of these for my enema kit. If the wheel stops spinning, then I'm full or I've got a kink in the tubing. Very useful item of enemas. You always know when you're flowing and when you're not.

The media could not be loaded. seems to be of great quality. we will see if it holds up through the test of time! thanks 👍😎

I hear about people saying they use something once and then it broke this is that case

So I use this for a somewhat stranger purpose than most intend to, but if you're also a bit strange and want a flow indicator for your enema bag, then this is perfect.This fits all of my 5/16" and 1/4" tubing without issue. I just snipped some tubing about 4" down from where the tube connects to the bag and put it in-between. Doesn't seem to slow down flow much too. The barbs on it are also three separate sizes, so you can just notch it into whichever that fits your tubing.It may not move at first if it's not filled with water initially, but it takes seconds for that to happen, and it's never been an issue while in use.I strongly recommend this for anyone using enema bags, especially opaque bags and bags larger than 2-quarts. It helps so much if you're using longer nozzles too, where you might not realize the flow stopped because the tip is pressing into stool or the colon wall, or even indicate if the bag isn't high enough.
