Patent Images
1. A fluid supply monitoring system, comprising:
- a housing;
a shutoff valve within said housing that selectively blocks a fluid flow; and
a flow sensor positioned downstream from said shutoff valve within said housing, wherein said flow sensor is operable to monitor the fluid flow to calculate at least a length of time the fluid flow has flown without interruption, a total volume of the fluid flow that has flown, and a flow rate of the fluid flow.
