Manually Enter Flow Rates
The Estimated GPM (gallons per minute) field of the zone details panel is visible when you do not have a flow sensor installed/enabled. Cyber-Rain defaults this
value to 1.50. The feature allows Cyber-Rain to report water savings and usage in gallons in the Usage Grid and Usage Summary Report panels on the Stats page.
The flow rate of each zone can be estimated using the local utility’s water meter using the methodology below.
Most utility water meters in the United States use the hundreds of cubic feet (CCF) unit for reporting water use. The user can
confirm this at the water meter, or with the water agency. There are 748 gallons of water in 1 CCF.
Remember to turn off all other sources of water flow at the site prior to measuring manual flow rates. This includes both
outdoor and indoor watering, such as toilets or clothes washers. Otherwise, your flow estimates will not be accurate.
