Does anybody know where to find the reclaimed water meter so I can check it when everything‘s off to make sure that I don’t have a leak. Or does this seem about right? Also my personal water usage seems high 2700 gallons a month for just one person so I would like to check that meter too.
I’d you have popups the amount of water per minute/hours can be measured and calculated. If you have large amount of runoff (running down street) might consider reducing run time some? IMO 45 mins two time week run time not that far off.
