We are a full time, 2 person household, with what I consider to be very average water use...no excessive showers or laundry. Our potable water consumption seems to average about 3,000 gallons per month, more when we have visitors.

On another thread, one person listed their consumption for 2 persons at about the same 3,000 level.

Is this what you have found to be average? How about a one person household?

The reason for asking is we have the Nova water filtration system and have been figuring on doing filter replacement annually, but, we now learn the filters are supposed to be replaced at 26K gallons...which is a little over 2,000 gallons a month. This spurred a discussion on what is average consumption.

We just had our filters replaced after 1 year and Bob's son said the first filter was among the dirtiest he has seen.
