Water Meter Reading Edit Window

If you are tempering an ingredient with a water meter, you need to let Fusion know how much water has been used periodically by entering a new reading with this window. We recommend entering reading on a consistent basis (for example, on the last day day of each month at the beginning of the day). We also recommend adding readings at least monthly, but not more than weekly. If you enter a reading too often, Fusion will not be able to calculate the amount of water being used very accurately. See the Water Meters and Tempering section of Core Concepts for more information.

  • Water Meter. Choose the water meter you took the reading from.
  • Reading. Enter the reading from the water meter here.
  • Meter was reset after reading. If you reset the meter to zero after the reading, make sure you check this field. If you don't have to, we recommend not reseting the meter each time and then leaving this field unchecked.
  • Extra Amount. You may have a certain amount of the ingredient that was tempered but not included in any loads during the time period. For example, you may have sold some of the tempered ingredient. By telling Fusion the amount that was not included in regular loads, it can properly calculate the moisture percentage.
  • Reading Date. Enter the date the reading was taken.
  • Reading Time. Enter the time the reading was taken.
  • Note. You can enter a note about the reading here if you like.

If you click the Calculate Water Percentage button, Fusion will figure out the water percentage since the the last water meter reading based on the values you just entered and the amount of ingredient used during that time period. This can be used as a sanity check to make sure the reading is correct.
