Water meters vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and from municipality to municipality. They also vary depending on the size of water pipe that feeds into them and their age. The majority of water meters report water use on a similar scale and we have set the default calibration on your Flowie water sensor accordingly.
However, some water meters report water use a bit differently. This means that in some cases, the water use and costs reported on your Alert Labs dashboard may differ from your actual water use by a factor up to two.
So, to get the most out of your data, we recommend calibrating your Flowie:
1) Take a picture

2) Send us your picture for reading

3) Take a second picture

4) Submit your second picture to us for reading

Based on the readings, your Flowie will be calibrated to provide even more precise data on water use and corresponding costs.
