Gallons Per Minute Garden Hose

[Dulmage]

I am looking for a flow meter that will tell me the gallons per minute of water going through a garden hose. Do you know of an affordable one? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money on this.

There are several made by companies like Orbit that will measure gallons. You can use one of those with a stopwatch to determine GPM.

Lowes, Home Depot and Amazon carry these types of meters - some cost less than $20

Just search for "hose bib water flow meter"

I would think more pressure more water per min???

Only to an extent.

It also depends on the source supply. If you have a pump that can deliver 15 GPM at 30 PSI it will deliver more water than a pump that will supply 10 GPM at 50 PSI



I do irrigation so I deal with supply and demand of water on a daily basis
