Calculation of water consumption

About the water consumption calculator

An online water consumption calculator will help you calculate how much water is consumed in a house, apartment, office or construction site. Suitable for cost estimation, plumbing design, pump selection and resource conservation planning.

The water usage calculator uses standard water usage rates for different usage scenarios. The calculation is based on the number of residents/employees, type of premises and takes into account losses and leaks. Formula: Daily consumption = Number of people × Consumption rate (l/person/day) × (1 + Losses%). Monthly consumption = Daily consumption × 30 days. Annual consumption = Daily consumption × 365 days. The calculator automatically calculates the cost of water based on hot and cold water tariffs.

How to calculate the rate of water consumption per person per day?

The water consumption rate depends on the type of premises: apartment - 200 l/person/day, private house - 250 l/person/day, office - 80 l/person/day, construction - 500-1000 l/day per site. The calculator automatically uses standard rates depending on the selected scenario.

How to calculate water consumption for an apartment building?

To calculate the water consumption of an apartment building, multiply the consumption rate per person (200 l/day) by the number of residents in all apartments. For example, a house with 100 apartments for 3 people: 200 × 3 × 100 = 60,000 l/day = 60 m³/day. The calculator helps calculate consumption for individual apartments and summarize the results.

How to calculate water consumption using a meter?

To calculate water consumption on the meter, record the readings at the beginning and end of the period. The difference will show consumption. For example, the beginning of the month: 100 m³, the end of the month: 118 m³. Consumption: 118 - 100 = 18 m³ per month. The calculator helps you check whether the actual consumption meets the standards.

How to calculate the cost of hot and cold water separately?

The calculator automatically calculates separately hot and cold water based on established tariffs. Typically, hot water makes up 30-40% of the total consumption, cold water - 60-70%. Enter your hot and cold water rates and the calculator will show the cost of each category and the total amount.

How to convert liters to cubic meters to calculate water?

To convert liters to cubic meters, divide the number of liters by 1000. For example, 25,000 l = 25 m³. The calculator automatically shows consumption in both liters and cubic meters. Formula: Volume (m³) = Volume (l) / 1000.

How to calculate the daily water consumption for a family?

To calculate the daily water consumption for a family, multiply the consumption rate per person (200-250 l/day) by the number of family members. For example, a family of 4 people: 200 × 4 = 800 l/day. Taking into account losses (5-10%): 800 × 1.05 = 840 l/day. The calculator automatically calculates daily, monthly and annual consumption.

How to calculate water consumption for a bath or sauna?

To calculate the water consumption for a bath, consider: washing one person - 50-100 l, filling a pool - 500-2000 l, steaming - 200-500 l. For a family of 4, once a week: (100 + 1000 + 300) = 1,400 l × 4 times a month = 5,600 l/month. The calculator helps you include additional costs into your overall calculation.

How to calculate water consumption for watering a garden?

To calculate water consumption for irrigation, use a rate of 5-10 liters per m², depending on the type of plant. For example, a garden of 100 m²: 100 × 7 l/m² = 700 l per watering. When watering 2 times a week: 700 × 2 × 4 = 5,600 l/month. The calculator allows you to add irrigation costs to your total consumption.

How to calculate water supply for a manufacturing enterprise?

To calculate the water supply of an enterprise, take into account technological needs (production), household and drinking needs (employees), and fire-fighting water supply. The norms for office employees are 80-100 l/person/day. For production processes, use specific standards. The calculator helps calculate basic consumption for water supply planning.

How to calculate water consumption for a swimming pool?

To calculate water consumption for a pool, consider: initial filling (pool volume), evaporation replenishment (2-5% of volume per week), filter washing (300-500 liters once a week). For example, a 20 m³ pool: filling 20,000 l, refill 20,000 × 0.03 × 4 = 2,400 l/month, rinsing 500 × 4 = 2,000 l/month. Total: 24,400 l/month.

How to calculate water consumption for a washing machine?

Water consumption for a washing machine depends on the energy efficiency class: class A+++ - 40-50 liters per cycle, class A - 50-60 liters. With 3 washes per week: 50 × 3 × 4 = 600 l/month. For a family of 4 people with 2 washes per week: 50 × 2 × 4 = 400 l/month. The calculator takes into account washing costs in total consumption.

How to calculate water consumption for a dishwasher?

Water consumption for a dishwasher: class A+++ - 6-8 liters per cycle, class A - 10-12 liters. With daily use: 8 × 30 = 240 l/month. For comparison: manual dishwashing requires 20-40 liters at a time. The dishwasher saves up to 75% water. The calculator helps estimate savings when using equipment.

How to calculate water consumption for shower and bath?

Shower water consumption: 30-50 liters in 5 minutes (regular nozzle), 15-25 liters in 5 minutes (economical nozzle). Bath water consumption: 150-200 liters per bath. With a daily shower: 40 × 30 = 1,200 l/month. With a bath once a week: 175 × 4 = 700 l/month. The calculator takes into account the cost of hygiene needs in total consumption.

How to calculate water consumption for a toilet?

Water consumption for the toilet depends on the type of tank: old tank - 9-12 liters per flush, new dual-mode - 3-6 liters per flush (small mode), 6-9 liters per flush (full mode). With average use 5 times a day: old tank 10 × 5 × 30 = 1,500 l/month, new tank 5 × 5 × 30 = 750 l/month. Save up to 50%. The calculator takes into account toilet consumption in total consumption.

How to calculate water consumption for a heating system?

To calculate water consumption for a heating system, consider: initial filling of the system (system volume), make-up for losses (1-3% of volume per month). For example, heating system 200 l: filling 200 l, make-up 200 × 0.02 × 12 = 48 l/year. The calculator helps calculate water consumption for various life support systems.

How to calculate water consumption for a car wash?

To calculate water consumption for a car wash: car wash - 50-100 l, truck wash - 150-300 l, bus wash - 200-400 l. When washing 2 times a month: passenger car 75 × 2 = 150 l/month. Car wash with 100 cars per day: 75 × 100 × 30 = 225,000 l/month = 225 m³/month. The calculator helps calculate consumption for commercial properties.

How to calculate water consumption for a fire extinguishing system?

To calculate the water consumption for the fire extinguishing system, use the following standards: internal fire water supply - 2.5 l/s per jet, external fire extinguishing - 5-40 l/s depending on the category of the building. The calculation is made in case of fire, and not for daily consumption. The calculator helps to calculate the main costs; for fire extinguishing, contact specialists.

How to calculate water consumption for a well or well?

To calculate water consumption for a well or well, determine the flow rate of the source (l/hour or m³/hour) and planned consumption. For example, well flow rate is 1.5 m³/hour = 36 m³/day. When a family of 4 people consumes × 250 l/day = 1 m³/day, the well will provide consumption with a reserve. The calculator helps determine the required flow rate of the water supply source.

How to calculate water flow for a pumping station?

To calculate water consumption for a pumping station, determine the maximum consumption per unit of time. For example, a house for 5 people: 5 × 250 l/day = 1,250 l/day = 1.25 m³/day. Maximum hourly flow: 1.25 / 24 × 2 (unevenness coefficient) = 0.1 m³/hour. Select a pump with a capacity of at least 0.1 m³/hour. The calculator helps determine the required pump performance.
