Track the water added to top up the pool separately from what the cover test explains, resident home near Sweetwater, TX.

A pool that gets topped up from a hose every few days hides a leak inside its evaporation number; without a separate log of exactly how much water goes in at each top-up, a fixture or valve leak can run for a whole season looking like normal evaporation.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

photo of the meter reading before and after each top-up + the running log + comparison note against the evaporation baseline

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Read the hose-bib or home water meter dial before starting any top-up, from a standing position at the meter or spigot, never at the pool's edge.
2. 2. Fill the pool to its marked line using the hose, then read the meter again and log the gallons used for that top-up with the date.
3. 3. Compare the season's top-up log against the bucket-comparison number from the evaporation rung; if top-ups are consistently running ahead of what evaporation alone should explain, flag it in the log as a possible fixture or valve leak.
4. 4. Note in the log that a flagged possible leak is a job for a licensed pool-leak-detection professional, never diagnosed by opening or testing equipment at this rung, and record the log entry with a photo of the meter reading.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Photo of the meter or hose-bib reading before the top-up
• Photo of the meter reading after the top-up with gallons logged
• The running log compared against the cover-test evaporation number
• Confirmation that no pool equipment panel, valve, or pipe was opened or tested at this rung

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
