Who This Is For
- You are switching to volume-based feeding because your 1.25 inch main lines deliver inconsistent doses using timers.
- You are upgrading to the DFM-2 because you need real-time data to stop irrigation the moment your target is reached.
What We Found
- The onsite LCD is a life saver when you need to verify flow immediately without pulling out a tablet or phone.
- We suggest this for larger facilities where 1.25 inch lines are the backbone of the irrigation manifold.
What Users Say
- Facilities using this meter report more consistent plant development once they switched to volume based dosing.
- Users tell us they stopped manually measuring runoff because the Aqua-X Pro now handles the target volume perfectly.
TrolMaster DFM-2 1.25" Digital Inline Flow Meter
Managing large-scale greenhouse irrigation requires precision that standard timers simply cannot provide, especially when dealing with 1.25" main lines. The TrolMaster DFM-2 is the high-capacity solution for commercial growers, offering the same meticulous volume-based control as the TrolMaster DFM-1 but scaled for larger pipework. By integrating seamlessly with your TrolMaster Aqua-X Pro system, this digital flow meter eliminates the guesswork of pressure-dependent timing.
This advanced sensor doesn't just measure; it communicates. It monitors nutrient solution flow in real-time, signaling your controller to halt irrigation the moment your plants have received their exact target dose. Beyond current functionality, the DFM-2 features a future-ready architecture designed to support upcoming firmware updates for leak detection and line blockage sensing, ensuring your facility remains at the cutting edge of water management.
Compatibility: TrolMaster Aqua-X Pro System (GCS-1)

FAQs
What is the difference between the DFM-1 and the DFM-2?
The primary difference is pipe size. The DFM-1 is designed for 1" irrigation lines, while the DFM-2 fits 1.25" lines. Both meters share the same functionality — real-time flow measurement, onsite LCD display, and volume-based irrigation control within the Aqua-X Pro system.
Why choose volume-based irrigation over time-based scheduling?
Time-based irrigation assumes consistent pressure. Volume-based scheduling with the DFM-2 removes that assumption, delivering the exact quantity of nutrient solution intended regardless of pressure fluctuations, pump wear, or line resistance changes.
How does feed-by-volume irrigation work?
When connected to the Aqua-X Pro controller, you set a target volume per event. The DFM-2 measures actual flow in real time and signals the controller to close the valve once the desired volume has passed through the line.
Which controllers is the DFM-2 compatible with?
The DFM-2 is designed specifically for the Aqua-X Pro irrigation control system. Always confirm compatibility with your specific GCS-1 configuration via TrolMaster documentation before purchasing.
Can the DFM-2 detect leaks or blockages?
The hardware is built to support leak detection and line blockage sensing, which TrolMaster plans to enable via future firmware updates. This capability is not active in the current firmware release.
How many DFM-2 units can I connect?
The GCS-1 typically supports one digital flow meter per controller set. For operations with multiple independent irrigation mains, each line would require its own dedicated controller and flow meter.
