user15655: I'm searching for a good water flow meter to add to my home controller project with Arduino. I have been searching in several pages and I only found some devices that work for low flow.  I need to control the water usage in my home and I thought to add a flow meter at the point where the water enters my home, and view the data with Arduino.
Do you have experience with any flow meter with good quality? 

user10437: I've used an arduino with an irrigation flow meter. 
I think I'm getting accurate results, but I haven't checked against a bill. It can handle high flow, and the sensors will attach to any size pvc line. The sensor are a bit expensive, however. $150 for the sensor and $35 for the T junction that it plugs into. 
However, as you are living in an apartment, you'll probably need a non-invasive sensor. Perhaps an acoustic one.
