Default Good Digital Water Meter Wanted

Much ado about nothing.

I use a digital totalizer called a "bucket". *It has better accuracy,
it's faster, doesn't require batteries, can be replaced at any
hardware store.

To use: Fill glider full, place totalizer under dump port, empty as
needed to get to desired gross weight. *Quantitative easing, for
gliders.
Doubles as a wash bucket.

Only works if you have enough water to fill the glider and if the
amount needed to be dumped is small.

Living in Arizona, and paying for the water I use, I don't like to
waste 20 gallons to get 30 into a glider that holds 50.
