My water bill recently doubled. Turns out it\u2019s a design flaw in my Hunter Pro-C controller.<\/p>\n

It was a royal hassle, but I managed to submit an improvement suggestion to Hunter:
\nThere should be no run times below ZERO!<\/strong> Duh!<\/p>\n

I had\u00a0 Denver Water come out to show me how to read the meter.<\/p>\n

  1. Meter reader basically said: \u201cMeter\u2019s correct. Fix your controller\u201d and left.
    \nWhat if they spent 5 minutes helping homeowners check their controller to find the problem?
    \nThousands of gallons saved.<\/li>\n
  2. What if Denver Water started tracking what kind of controllers are causing the most water waste and worked the manufacturers and home owners to fix the root cause of the problem?
    \nMillions of gallons saved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It only takes a little extra effort to fix the root cause of the problem. Isn’t it worth it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
