Leaky faucets and fixtures across the U.S. waste over 1 trillion gallons of water every year. But most people ignore a dripping faucet. It's just a small leak, right? DropBeat makes the impact impossible to ignore. Open the app, hold your phone near the faucet, and tap the button every time a drop falls. After 5 taps, it does the math. You'll see how many gallons your faucet is losing every day, every month, and every year, plus how many showers that adds up to. No need to count drips per minute or type anything into a form. Just tap to the beat of your drop and the app handles the rest. The math is based on USGS data, so you'll get a close estimate of what your faucet is actually losing. Share your results, show someone, and get your leaky faucet fixed.
