You need a pressure gauge with an adapter to thread it onto a hose bib. Then you need to find an outdoor hose bib that is fed from as close to the water meter as possible. That's where the gauge goes. You have your static pressure measured, then you open some faucets in the house. Record the reading on the outdoor pressure gauge and them get a flow reading from the meter. The very newest meters might have an electronic display of the flow. Older meters require you to use a wristwatch and note the meter readings at the start and finish of the time interval.As far as the flow and pressure testing you are referring to. You're suggesting I measure how much water passes through the meter while running water in the house? Should I just open a couple of the sinks around the house and see how much water passes during a minute?
