HyQuest Solutions’ Redback is a cup-type current meter for the measurement of water flow in open and closed waters to a fine degree of accuracy and repeatability. This is due to its advanced contact switching system and interchangeable bucket system that provides trouble free operation.
The Redback is made to be used in the most extreme environments and ensures reliable field service for many years.
The current meter is supplied in a user-friendly kit, allowing the operator to measure water flow using a simple traditional method.
