Water Drip Leak Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the amount of water leaking from a faucet (WL) is:

\[ WL = \frac{D/min \times 1440 \times F}{15140} \]

Where:

(WL) is the amount of gallons of water leak per day
(D/min) is the number of water drips recorded per minute of time
(F) is the total number of faucets

What is Water Drip Leak?

Water drip leak refers to the amount of water that leaks from a faucet due to dripping. This can be measured in gallons per day and is calculated based on the number of drips per minute and the total number of faucets. Understanding the water drip leak can help in identifying and fixing leaks to conserve water.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Number of Water Drips per Minute ((D/min)) = 10
Total Number of Faucets ((F)) = 3

Using the formula:

\[ WL = \frac{10 \times 1440 \times 3}{15140} \approx 2.85 \]

The Water Leak ((WL)) is approximately 2.85 gallons per day.
