"I'm really sorry but it appears these small usage amounts are coming from pressure fluctuations.
When the triangle on your meter fluctuates back and forth, it implies that there are pressure fluctuations in the system. And when this happens, water flows back and forth across your water meter. We can filter some of that out. However, when the fluctuations get big enough, we have a hard time distinguishing between real water use and these disturbances. "

I'm in SoCal. And our water company has a tiered rate based on what their definition of "average household" use. Depending on how much water you use over the average, the difference is significant and get charged penalty fees..
I am also interested to know this answer if anyone has any input

I get a water bill every 3 months that is usually around $95, ie around $30 per month.
For a family of 4, with 3 full baths, and running lawn sprinklers daily all summer and washing 2 cars weekly..... I don't see how anybody would not notice if they had a leak that caused their usage to go up times 20X in a month.
Not buying that a leaky toilet would result in $600 water bill.
I haven't paired this with a automatic shut off yet but plan to in the future. I'm a little hesitant with the Dome because my valve is fairly stiff, and the in line systems are significantly more expensive and require plumbing work.
I've the same issue with stuff valve plus ppvc which technically should not have anything attached to it like the Dome. So I went with econet tools bulldog valve robot. It attaches to the valve only and surprised how well it works tbh. The only trick was lining up the pivot points (valve and robot) since it's outside in a box in the ground was a bit of PIA because tight space to try and work in but definitely worth it. I used a lot of smartthings leak sensors but they are kind of flaky prob should've gone with z wave sensors. I'm monitoring them with a ST smart app so I know when offline at least which happens more than I like but could be my orbi mesh router.
I was going to add a flume too but they claim not to be compatible with my meter. The guy from the city told me they are going to start using a system with online access and alerts/notifications for changes in usage pattern (leaks). Just going to wait on that although he did tell me some people were able to get the flume working on the supposedly incompatible meters. Followed up with flume and they said no promises on that.
Helped me figure out what is going on with the running meter and how much water is being used.
For the price point, nothing compares.
I think I have faulty equipment, as a friend nearby has one and it works well.
I have an old passive meter in my basement where the line comes in, but this isn't the one the water company uses. Their meter is in a pit somewhere out near the street. I'm not sure if this one is a remnant from before they added the outdoor meter or if the previous owners had it to do their own monitoring, but I left it installed because it makes it easy to track the replacement intervals for my filter system.
If I can install this on the meter inside, that would be great. I have concerns about the other options that need to be plumbed in not because I can't do the work but because they're of unknown quality. If this is piggybacking on a big old brass meter that's been there for years, that's great.

Prices can vary a lot from city to city, but it is hard to believe that a single toilet running for 2 weeks could cost more than I would pay for 25 years worth of water use for my entire family. I don't think people realize the insane amount of water someone would have to use to get a $1,000 bill.
