Droplet Showing Incorrect Usage (Too High or Too Low)

If your water usage readings seem unusually high or low, Droplet may need a slight adjustment or recalibration. This can happen occasionally based on how the device is installed or how your plumbing system behaves.


πŸ”Ž Common Causes of Inaccurate Readings

  • Droplet is not centered or fully flush against the pipe

  • Installed too close to elbows, valves, or T-junctions

  • Pipe material or wall thickness affects signal transmission

  • Untagged events are being misinterpreted by the system

  • Pipe surface was painted, oxidized, or uneven


Be advised that Droplet can take up to 48 hours after installation to learn your home and calibrate to your pipes.

πŸ› οΈ If you have accuracy concerns after 48 hours, reach out to us at [email protected] and we'll attempt a calibration!
