Our Drip Gauge can help you figure out how much water is really being wasted and why you should quickly do something about it.

The amount of water dripping slowly from a faucet is difficult to measure. Not only do drop sizes vary, but terms like "slow drip" vary from person to person. Still, as long as a faucet is leaking, it’s wasting water. And that waste will add up. Water Waste Adds Up: Drops Turn Into Gallons If a leak has a continuous flow of:

It wastes the following number of gallons in:  

1 Day 1 Year 5 drops in 30 seconds 0.8 292 10 drops in 30 seconds 1.6 584 15 drops in 30 seconds 2.4 876 20 drops in 30 seconds 3.2 1,168 25 drops in 30 seconds 4 1,460 30 drops in 30 seconds 4.8 1,752 35 drops in 30 seconds 5.6 2,044 40 drops in 30 seconds 6.4 2,336 45 drops in 30 seconds 7.2 2,628 50 drops in 30 seconds 8 2,920 55 drops in 30 seconds 8.8 3,212 60 drops in 30 seconds 9.6 3,504   

Our Drip Gauge is even more accurate with Metric readings. Simply place the small, cylindrical cup under a drip, then calculate how many gallons of water are wasted daily. Measurements and instructions for calculations are printed on the gauge. The cup measures 7/8” by 2 ½” These make great giveaways.
