A gardener catches 0.4 L/min dripping at a pressurized connection. The hose is pressurized for six 30-minute sessions, totaling three hours.

What the comparison shows
Enter hours divided by 24 as fractional days. Only the loss at the connector is counted, separate from intentional watering.
Assumptions and limits
Use aggregate pressurized time. A hose left under pressure between sessions would require those hours as well.
