DAE MJ-200c 2 in NTEP IP68 NSF61 Water Meter - Durable Outdoor Meter

In this review of the DAE MJ-200c 2 in water meter, the bottom line is straightforward: it is a solid choice for property managers and contractors who need a dependable, accurate potable water meter for outdoor or pit installation. The reviewer found the meter's NTEP accuracy and NSF61/372 certifications immediately reassuring for billing and compliance, while the IP68 rating and horizontal inline dial orientation make it practical for standard installations. Factory calibration certificates and compatibility with remote reading accessories are the main reasons to consider this meter.

Key Features

• Horizontal inline mount: Designed with the dial facing upwards for conventional installations, making reading and maintenance straightforward.
• NTEP approved accuracy: National NTEP approval and Utah Water Research Lab repeatability testing ensure trustworthy measurement for billing purposes.
• NSF61 and NSF372 certified: Materials meet potable water safety and lead free plumbing standards required by the US Safe Drinking Water Act.
• IP68 rating: Robust protection for outdoor and pit use, suitable where moisture and immersion resistance are needed.
• Remote reading ready: Works with DAE CO-10, AMR130 or multi-meter AMR and the CC2030 gateway for cloud metering and alerts.
• Flow range and accuracy: Accurate to +/-1.5% across normal flow with safe max 160 GPM and recommended continuous 80 GPM for most residential and light commercial needs.

Who It's For

The DAE MJ-200c is aimed at landlords, municipal contractors, and commercial property operators who need a reliable potable water meter with certified accuracy and remote read options. It suits installations where the meter can be mounted horizontally with the dial facing up and where NSF certification and NTEP approval are required for billing and compliance.

Those who need a meter that can be installed vertically in any orientation should look at the alternative PD-200 model; similarly, buyers who require integrated electronic counters or gateways included out of the box should budget for CO-10 or AMR accessories, which are sold separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build quality and reliable accuracy at higher GPM, reflecting customer praise for performance and value.
• Certifications (NTEP, NSF61, NSF372) make it suitable for potable water billing and regulatory acceptance.
• IP68 protection and pit/outdoor suitability provide installation flexibility for external locations.
• Flexible remote reading options with CC2030 gateway, AMR and CO-10 integration for cloud monitoring and alerts.

Cons

• Designed primarily for horizontal inline installation with the dial up; vertical installations require a different DAE model.
• Remote reading hardware is convenient but must be purchased separately, adding to overall cost for cloud metering.
