Fitted today.
Very simple job
Measures litres used
So when I fill the tank I reset and it then it counts down the litres.
I now know a full freshwater tank gives me 88 litres!

I like that Martin.

Wonder if they do similar with a round flush fit control unit - I'll look around as I have a hole to fill in my galley where my heater control was.

Thanks for the link - A great idea, I was going to make one (I even have the flow sensor), but at that price, its not worth it....

 
That is a nice solution :)

An alternative is the Mopeka Sensor if you can access the bottom of the water tank, which you can then monitor via a Smartphone App, a Fixed Display (extra cost option) or if you have a Victron Cerbo GX type installation, see it on the consolidated display.
The Mopeka would be more expensive (especially if you wanted the display) but when I got mine, I got a double pack with display on a deal on Amazon.com, sold the display on, so it worked well to monitor the Water and the LPG.
 
We have a 120 litre freshwater tank, and, when I look at the tank, if the level is on or just over the 'lip' where the narrow section starts, we have around 30-40 litres ... As long as I close the 'drain tank to 20 litres level' valve and close the frost stat button [forgot to for last week's trip to New Lanark ...], we have enough water for an overnight at least. Gratis, and the 35 steps for the inspection go towards my 6,000 step count ... :ROFLMAO:

I see that CBE do a tank level display which would be a better fit in my galley, but it only shows as thirds of a tank so not as precise as Martin's solution.

The other thing with those is you need a tank that has a top filler :) Would be little use in the typical Autotrail Motorhome where the large filler is on the bottom and no access to the top of the tank at all.

Very true, would be easy to do on my van but it's too vague for me - 1/3ish, 2/3ish, fullish.
 
Its a very simple and effective solution.
I would perhaps mention that it counts down litres though, not up
