I made the comment about someone "flushing the toilet" to demonstrate that some of the momentary power spikes could be caused by correlating drops in water pressure.
I do not see how this could cause a 20-minute event.
There was no continuous monitoring of flow rate, and this was not a fixed-displacement pump.
They told me the flow rate was continuously monitored with a video camera. The meter keeps track of total consumption, as I said. There was no pump; just water pressure from the tap. That is very reliable. Water pressure does not change measurably at 1 L/s for 20 minutes when someone flushes a toilet.
