Now power monitoring is SUPER useful… I don’t care how much the washer uses, but I have an alert that notifies the house when the cycle is complete. Knowing that the lawn got 571 gallons of water this month isn’t useful!! Measuring the amount you water your lawn isn’t the indicator - the grass is… you then know it’s super green so you cut the minutes of watering. Even the month of Feb will be 10% lower just because of the fewer days. A guest staying over, random car washes, not watering your yard because it rained…. water at night when it is coolest (less evap), consider a split phase watering schedule where you give half the water 30minutes apart - and most important, don't water the concrete!! For showers, move to a lower flow shower head and reduce the minutes in the shower.Īm I just missing something that others are seeing/wanting?īut a meter isn’t a leak detector…. The biggest uses will be the lawn sprinkler and shower. measure the water won't change what you use!! (This will also save you electricity since a HE washer will leave the clothes dryer, giving less work for your dryer to do!!) you can just look them up and see where you fall on the scale!! If you have a 20year old top load washer that isn't "HE" (high efficiency) then go replace it. All you can do is go buy more water efficient devices. You're going to wash your hands, you're going to wash your clothes, you're going to drink water, you're going to flush the toilet, you're going to run the dishwasher, you're going to let the icemaker run, etc. I've tried asking a few times and am looking to understand what good measuring the water would do? This question gets asked a few times a week between this sub and smarthome.
