Calculating Your Bill

The two black digits measure water in tenths. These digits are not recorded to determine your monthly charges. They will appear on your bill as zeros. (00)

The triangle is referred to as your leak indicator. If all water is turned off in the property, The dial should not be turning. If the dial is turning, there may be a leak on the property.

Record the previous months reading
