The compact design of pygmy meters - the bucket wheel is just 3/4 inch by 2 inches in diameter - allows measurement of shallower and lower velocity flows. The pygmy meter provides reliable measurements of flows down to 0.05 feet per second at depths as shallow as 3 inches. Except for the absence of a five revolution click, these models operate identically to the larger Price type meters in both headphone and digital models.

Pygmy meters are rod suspended only.
