I installed one of these when we had a 30000+ gallon bill. We weren't full time at that point.

I narrowed down the excess usage in about 2 minutes. Zone 4 of my irrigation had a broken pipe.

The flume gives you minute by minute granularity on water usage.

Since then it has detected a leaking toilet and a hose bib that was left on by a landscaper who filled a buck and didn't close the valve tight.

I highly recommend them, most definitely if you aren't full time.
