OK - same boat as Tom here. Over 30K gallons per month.
1> There is no leak on mine - meter not moving except when water is running through.
2> 6 zones set for just over 3 hours total X 2 per week.
3> The measured gallons per minute from zone 1 for example was 16.8 gpm. If you do the math that is just under 2 gpm on each head in the zone. If you look up the rating on the head that is what it is supposed to be.
So my question is this: Do those of you that say you have a much smaller bill actually do the math on comparing your lot and number of sprinkler heads to Tom's (and mine) or are you just guessing since your bill is lower?
If someone who has a smaller bill please count the number of actual sprinkler heads and report it to us that would be very useful in determining if we have some other weird issue. Thanks.
My neighbor with a similar size grass area (large cul-de-sac type with 6 full zones) has the same numbers and the same bill.
