Signature Required on Most Deliveries
Most of Fondriest’s shipments contain valuable equipment. If you will not be at the shipping address to accept delivery of your product, consider shipping the item to an address where someone you trust will be available to sign for your package, or accept your package if a signature is not required for the delivery.
Once your order has prepared for shipment or has shipped, we are unable to change the shipping address. Title and risk of loss to all products will pass to you on delivery. If you are willing to assume the risks of delivering your order without a signature, you may authorize Fondriest to arrange for a delivery that does not require anyone to be at the delivery address.
Undeliverable Packages
Occasionally, packages are returned to Fondriest as undeliverable. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to Fondriest, please contact us to make arrangements for reshipment.
Failed Delivery Attempts
Most of Fondriest carriers make three attempts to deliver a package. After three delivery attempts, the carrier will return the package to Fondriest.
Order Processing
The estimated shipment date on your order is based on product availability, payment processing time, and warehouse processing time and does not include transit time. We do not begin payment processing until Fondriest receives all of the information that is needed and full payment or a full authorization, in the case of credit card or rental orders.
Fondriest will begin payment processing for orders placed on weekends or holidays on the next business day. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
Your order for in-stock items that are eligible for same-day shipping must be received before your local time of 2:00 p.m., pending payment processing, for there to be adequate remaining time in the day for your order to be dispatched.
Product Availability
Fondriest makes every effort to ship your product according to the estimated lead times. The estimated lead times are in business days (Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays). Although Fondriest makes every effort to ship your order according to the lead time provided, shipping dates may change due to changes in supply. If the lead time changes, Fondriest will contact you via email and provide a revised shipping estimate.
Fondriest makes every effort to supply the products you order, but there may be occasions when Fondriest confirms orders and later learns that it cannot supply the products, either at all or in the quantities ordered. Although rare, these occasions can include when Fondriest learns that the products are no longer being manufactured or they otherwise become unavailable, when Fondriest cannot source components for the configuration you ordered, or when there was a pricing error at the Fondriest Online Store.
In those circumstances, Fondriest will inform you and, if you are interested, Fondriest may suggest alternative products that may meet your needs. If you do not wish to order alternative products, Fondriest will cancel your order for products that cannot be supplied and for any other products that you no longer wish to order as a result, and will issue a refund.

Key Features
- Calculates discharge automatically based on USGS and ISO methods
- Velocity graphed in real-time on the meter's color display for trending
- Electromagnetic sensor head has no moving parts and never requires calibration
Overview
The OTT MF pro saves time and resources in the field by automatically calculating discharge (based on USGS and ISO methods) and graphing velocity data in real-time, allowing trends to be visualized quickly. The rod-mounted meter with color-display captures all data, allowing measurements to be taken by one person and eliminating the need for handwritten calculations or post-measurement data correction.
Ideal for Low-Flow Environments
A small, detachable electromagnetic sensor is ideal for use in low-flow environments by eliminating the need for minimum velocity requirements. Measurements are taken directly at the sensor head rather than from a sample volume farther away. The electromagnetic sensor has no moving parts, is virtually maintenance-free, and requires no calibration, unlike mechanical meters.
Unimpeded by Organic Matter
Electromagnetic sensors are preferred for use in conditions with large amounts of organic matter as their magnetic inductive measurement principle is not affected by organic matter in the sampling area like acoustic or mechanical meters. The OTT MF Pro is lightweight and water-resistant, featuring a full-color display that is easily readable, even in bright sunlight.
Real-time Velocity
Velocity is graphed in real-time on the meter's color display, allowing trends to be visualized quickly.
Maintenance-Free
The electromagnetic sensor head has no moving parts and never requires calibration, making it virtually maintenance-free.
Versatile Applications
The sensor's magnetic inductive measurement principle makes the OTT MF pro ideal for use in low-flow conditions and environments heavy in organic matter, unlike mechanical or acoustic meters.
User-Friendly Handheld
A lightweight, water-resistant handheld features a full-color display that is easily readable even in bright sunlight.

Questions & Answers
Does the wading rod or velocity sensor come with the water flow meter?
No, the wading rod and velocity sensor are sold separately.
What is good about electromagnetic vs mechanical meters?
Electromagnetic sensors generally require less maintenance, do not require calibration and have no moving parts.
Does my Flow Meter store data?
The OTT MF pro Flow Meter stores up to 10 profiles (metering sites) with 32 vertical profiles per site. Data can be downloaded to a PC via a simple USB connection.
How long will my battery last?
The OTT MF pro Flow meter has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that has approximately 18 hours of battery life.
Is the MF pro flow meter waterproof?
Yes, the OTT MF pro flow meter has an IP rating of IP67, protecting the meter against short periods of immersion in water.
What is the warranty on the MF pro?
The MF pro flow meter and sensors are covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
What is the purpose of the optional depth sensor?
During a discharge measurement, a typical user will read the water depth from wading rod markings. With a the integrated depth sensor, water depth can be measured automatically, reducing human error in the field and providing increased accuracy.
Is the Marsh McBirney Flo-Mate, Model 2000 portable flow meter comparable to the OTT MF pro flow meter?
Yes. The MF pro and the Marsh McBirney Flo-Mate, Model 2000 are both current meters that use electromagnetic sensors with no moving parts. They measure within the same range of 0 m/s to 6 m/s.

Monitoring Northern Idaho Watersheds Helps Keep Them Wild and Pristine
Northern Idaho is a land sparse with people, but bountiful with lakes, forests, and mountains. Up in the Northern Rocky Mountains, countless streams and rivers slice through the landscape, cascading from peaks to the tranquil valleys below. This region of Idaho contains an immense amount of public land and wilderness, more than anywhere else in the state. With no major population centers, many watersheds remain relatively pristine, but others are impacted by human activities, including forestry, agriculture, and recreation. The state of Idaho, federal agencies, and dedicated citizen groups work together to monitor and understand the characteristics of their nearly unspoiled home.
Research and Conservation: Understanding the “Outsized Influence” of Intermittent Streams
It’s a chilly winter's day in northwest Arkansas, and several University of Arkansas students trudge to an intermittent stream frozen over with a layer of ice. They bring normal water quality sampling equipment with them, and something else: a sledgehammer to break through the ice. The cracks ring out across the streambed, and eventually, they can access the water rushing beneath. They measure a host of parameters, from dissolved oxygen to water temperature, before packing up and heading to another site. They have 20 sites to sample from, and one day to collect them. Hopefully, they won’t have to use the sledgehammer on all of them. The streams they’re sampling from are unique, as only a few months ago, they were dry.
When we think of a river’s movements, we often think of its current. But rivers move in other ways too, ways that can have profound consequences to those living around them. If a river’s centerline shifts, especially if it shifts a lot, the impact can be huge, and devastating to human populations that depend on the river as a place to fish, farm, and settle. The Ganges River in India, for example, supports 650 million people who have their homes, families, and livestock gathered at its banks. As the river changes in the future due to the impact of climate and anthropogenic factors, it is of critical importance for the population living by the Ganges—or any other major river--to know what the changes will be to best prepare for a potentially radically different future.
