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

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.

Doesn't work under an LS6 which dumps under the belly.

Wastes water, too.

I hook up a digital flow meter to my standpipe and only use as much
water as I need.

My 20B dumps from the belly and it works fine. Of course, I have
Schleicher landing gear. Not knocking the 6, I tried to buy one about
a month before I found the 20. Lovely ship. But it's a little
skimpy on the landing gear and ground clearance.

Point taken for those who fly on planet Arrakis. Here in the Eastern
bogs, we generally bitch about too much water rather than too little,
a nuisance, not a scarce resource. Good on you desert guys for being
responsible citizens.
