Measuring Flow
Measuring flow is just as important as pressure. Flow is the volume of water moving in the pipe over a certain amount of time (measured in Gallons Per Minute [GPM]). A flow meter can be purchased and ran with your system, though not required.
2
Fill Bucket
To measure your flow, bring a 5-gallon bucket to the water source. Place bucket underneath the faucet and turn on the water (avoid frost freeze faucets).
3
Record Time
Record the time it takes to fill up the bucket. If you can fill the bucket in under 45 seconds, then you have the recommended amount of flow.
