Measuring Water Supply

The most common method is to measure the amount of water supplied from a hose bib on the property. Simply place a bucket (generally a 5-gallon bucket) such that it will catch all the water from the hose bib while it is running.

Enter the size of your bucket or container in gallons, as you turn the spigot on (all the way open), press the start button, and when the container is full press the stop button.
