Direct Answer: This scorecard screens a commercial or industrial facility against seven conditions linked to water meter over-registration: booster pumps and cycling PRVs, equipment that pulls water in sudden bursts (cooling tower makeup, CIP and wash systems, process fills), shifts and sharp daily peaks, bills rising faster than activity, growth since the service and meter were sized, metered water that won't reconcile, and sewer billed from the water reading. The more conditions present, the more likely part of your water and sewer bill is volume your facility never received. It's a screening, not a diagnosis; a free bill review confirms it.

Common Questions
What does the scorecard check?
It screens a facility against seven conditions linked to water meter over-registration: booster pumps or a cycling PRV, equipment that pulls water in sudden bursts, shifts and sharp daily peaks, bills rising faster than activity, growth since the service and meter were sized, metered water that doesn’t reconcile, and sewer billed from the water reading.
What causes a water meter to over-register?
During high-demand periods, water moves through the meter at high velocity and pressure inside the meter drops. Dissolved gas comes out of solution and vapor forms, and that gas and vapor take up space the meter counts as water. It’s not your meter. It’s your pipes.
My score was high. What should I do next?
Run the 24-Hour Savings Calculator, which opens with your facility type already selected, or request a free savings analysis. We review your bills, meter size, pipe size, pressure, and PRV configuration and project your savings range. Documented installations show up to a 30% reduction in water and sewer costs.
My score was low. Could my meter still be over-registering?
Yes. The scorecard checks the most common visible signs, but over-registration can occur where conditions are hidden in the piping or happen only at peak times. A quick calculator estimate or a free bill review confirms it either way.
Is the scorecard a diagnosis?
No. It’s a screening tool. Only a review of your bills, meter configuration, pressure, PRV location, and flow conditions can confirm over-registration. The FCD corrects what your meter records; it doesn’t reduce the water your facility uses. It carries a 6-month money-back guarantee, no questions asked (installation is non-refundable).
