Do you have a question about the E Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My meter read 422.92 on 2/17/25. Now its with the new Badger meter and reads 89.605 FT3 ( cubic feet). How do I get an idea of what i used ? This was easy now I just need to know how to convert.
The Badger Meter E Series displays consumption in cubic feet with a resolution of 0.001 cubic feet. To determine water usage in another unit, follow these conversions:
1. Cubic Feet to Gallons: Multiply the reading in cubic feet by 7.48 (1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons).
2. Cubic Feet to Cubic Meters: Multiply the reading in cubic feet by 0.0283 (1 cubic foot = 0.0283 cubic meters).
3. Cubic Feet to Liters: Multiply the reading in cubic feet by 28.3168 (1 cubic foot = 28.3168 liters).
Use the displayed consumption value and apply the appropriate conversion factor based on your required unit of measure.
