Understand and verify the calculator result

Do not treat a completed status as the only quality check. Open or copy litres, compare the important information with the source, and test it in the destination that will use it. Check units, rates, periods, rounding and any assumptions shown beside the fields; recalculate with a simple known example before using the result for an important decision.

Troubleshoot the Water Intake Calculator
