    Here is a link:

    There is more to timing a meter than is posted above. And the Kh number on the meter is the multiplier or referenced "calc factor" for the gearing on a residential meter.
    Usually, its around 7.2, but your region/utility may vary.

    I will post the full meter timing method in a bit.
    Also, turn off all breakers except for the one serving the pump when performing this function, as you do not want to include any other load from other household appliances.
