ATL Water Flow Measurement Kit
ATL Water Flow Measurement Kit: Arduino Flow Meter to Track Daily Water Usage
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
At home or in the lab, every drop counts. This kit turns a tap into a data source, letting you measure water flow rate, total volume dispensed, and daily consumption—all displayed in real time on a crisp OLED screen. Perfect for ATL classrooms, science fairs, or any young engineer who wants to understand how sensor data can promote water conservation.
What You'll Build
You’ll construct a working flow meter around the YF-S201 sensor and Arduino Nano. Attach the included hosepipe to a standard tap, and as water flows, the sensor pulses are translated into litres per minute and total litres. The OLED constantly updates, and a simple calculation shows daily water usage based on the flow pattern. By the end, you’ll have a functional tool to monitor your own household’s tap water consumption.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a hall-effect water flow sensor with an Arduino Nano
- Convert pulse signals into flow rate and cumulative volume using code
- Drive a 0.96-inch OLED to display real-time sensor readings
- Extrapolate short-term flow data into daily water consumption estimates

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for ATL Tinkering Lab students in classes 6–10, but also a great pick for CBSE/ICSE project work on water conservation, smart city hackathons at the junior level, and any parent or educator who wants to demonstrate practical sensor integration. Beginners will feel at home—no prior soldering or coding experience is required.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion on the QR code guides you step‑by‑step, and you can reach our support team directly on WhatsApp for human help the same day.
Can this kit measure water flow from any tap?
Yes, the YF-S201 works with standard ½‑inch threaded taps and the included hosepipe connects directly. For non‑standard taps, a simple adapter (not supplied) may be needed.
What is the maximum flow rate it can handle?
The YF‑S201 measures up to 30 litres per minute, which covers most residential taps. The sensor is not designed for high‑pressure industrial lines.
Does the kit include code to calculate daily consumption?
Yes. The pre‑written Arduino sketch calculates both instantaneous flow rate and total volume, and includes a commented section that you can modify to estimate daily usage based on your data.
