I am looking for an inexpensive and lightweight water
meter to measure ballast. Any suggestions?

The last time I crewed a Nationals, we tried one of those cheapie
plastic hose meters like you get at a nursery or garden shop. It was
inaccurate to the point of uselessness. Then we bought a water utility
meter like the one between your house and the water main - basically
what Paul Remde sells. It was no cheaper than Paul's price and it took
us a couple days to find and obtain it. Were I to do it again I'd just
order whatever Paul or Tim sells and be done with it.
