How To Read the Water Meter

Reading a water meter is similar to reading an automobile odometer. Most meters have a seven-digit number on the face called the readout (see picture below). This shows the total of gallons used since the meter was installed. When water passes through the meter, all of the numbers revolve except the last one on the right which is fixed at zero. The large sweep hand registers for this last increment - revolving one time for every ten gallons used. If you have a meter that reads in cubic feet, one revolution of sweep hand is equal to 7.78 gallons . Also the last number is not fixed in place.

To calculate your water use, pick a starting point at which to read your meter; record the reading and date. After filling what is is you want to measure, read your meter again. Subtract the first reading from the second to find out how much water was used, for example:

  • Second Reading = 1256240
  • First Reading = 1255190
  • Water Used = 1050 gallons

Question
Can you tell me if this can be used to measure volume of water flowing through a hose over extended period of time? I have a soaker hose to water the foundation and I want to measure how much water is getting used? Can I hook this up at the spigot and then hook the hose to the other end and get a reading over time? I plan on leaving it hooked up.

Answer:
Yes you should be able to use the water meter for that purpose.  It is a simply gauge that measures the water as it passes by.
