Drip Calculator
Is one or more of your faucets dripping? Try out the drip calculator to see the
water amount that is being lost.
Drips per Minute

Simply count the number of drips in one minute from the leaky fixture.
Note: 5 drips
per second amounts to a steady stream.
Enter the number of drips per minute into the first

"Bucket and Stopwatch" Method (large/more rapid leaks)
Hold
an eight ounce cup under the dripping fixture and, with a stopwatch, time how long it takes to fill the cup.
