Auto water change setup?

That is exactly what I did.

I think if my holding container wasn't so far away up,down and across I wouldn't have been as curious about it. But having done it, it really takes just a few minutes and then you know it's accurate.

That's the same situation that I'm in. Both my water change container and drain are in the laundry room, some feet away.

There is another way to measure the flow rate:
Use your kitchen scales!
First weigh your container.
Then fill it for exactly one minute with the dosing pump (you can press the red button).
After that weigh again your container.
Now you know the amount in one minute (assuming that 1l = 1kg is exact enough).

You know Matthias, I wondered about weighing it, but I had the cylinder out already.

Does 1l=1kg for fresh water or for saltwater or is there a difference in weight?

I'm not even sure I have a kitchen scale nor a graduated cylinder, but I know I can get a graduated cylinder at work easier than I can a scale.
