jim r Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 can anyone tell me where to get a water meter that will fit in line with a garden hose please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 They're easy to find Jim. In front of just about every house is a small blue plastic lid, this covers a water meter, but you'll need wet-weather gear a shovel and a sharp spade or if you can take your time, a spanner. Oh!! and a fairly fast car with no number plates is fairly useful too. Your water dept of the council might sell you one Seriously tho, what do you need it for?? I have several methods, but before expounding on them I'd need to know the reason to see if they are usable in your case. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Jim, turn your hose on full and fill up a container of a known quantity, and time it If it takes 20 seconds to fill a 10 lte bucket and the drum takes 15 minutes, that means your drum is 450 lts, (hope I got that correct.) You could also take a reading of your meter on the roadside before and after, but that gives the cubic metres used. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Wow that would be an awesome tank, I have aspirations of getting a really long tank like that one day. Discus in it is even better. Don't fill it with salt or other large cichlids big no no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
