A totalization meter system for a water treatment device, the device having an
inlet aperture and an outlet aperture, and a channel for channeling water between
the inlet and outlet apertures. A flow reactive device is positioned in the channel
and is exposed to the flowing water, and a signal generating member is positioned
on the flow reactive device. A switch is positioned proximately to the flow reactive
device, and is sensitive to the proximity of the signal generating member. The
switch is able to communicate electric signals indicative of the motion of the
signal generating member. A resettable processor having a performance threshold
programmed therein and an output device is included. The microcontroller is in
electrical communication with the switch for receiving electrical signals from
the switch. The switch is capable of sensing the characteristics of the flow reactive
device and communicates electrical signals representative of the characteristics
to the microcontroller. The microcontroller interprets the signals as a first performance
data. The microcontroller compares the first performance data against the respective
performance threshold in the microcontroller to determine if the performance threshold
has been surpassed, and if surpassed actuates the output device.
