Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for quickly and efficiently detecting water leaks and leak flow rates in plumbing systems which can include flexible materials and components. The preferred system is comprised of a static device (known as a “water widget”), an expansion gauge temporarily connected to the physical system through a controllable manifold, a mathematical model (known as a “phantom water widget”), and a software program which accepts input related to the physical system and which outputs a result.
