Water Saving Drip Gauge
Our Water Saving 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 because Drops Turn Into Gallons and Gallons Turn Into Dollars.
If a leak has a continuous flow It wastes the following number of gallons in 1 day and 1 year:
- 5 drops in 30 seconds 0.8 gallons per day and 292 gallons per year.
- 10 drops in 30 seconds 1.6 gallons per day and 584 gallons per year.
- 15 drops in 30 seconds 2.4 gallons per day and 876 gallons per year.
- 20 drops in 30 seconds 3.2 gallons per day and 1,168 gallons per year.
- 30 drops in 30 seconds 4.8 gallons per day and 1,752 gallons per year.
- 35 drops in 30 seconds 5.6 gallons per day and 2,044 gallons per year.
- 40 drops in 30 seconds 6.4 gallons per day and 2,336 gallons per year.
- 45 drops in 30 seconds 7.2 gallons per day and 2,628 gallons per year.
- 55 drops in 30 seconds 8.8 gallons per day and 3,212 gallons per year.
- 60 drops in 30 seconds 9.6 gallons per day and 3,504 gallons per year.
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.
