Abstract
The system can include an inlet valve, a backflow preventer, and a demand pump. The system can further include a first pressure sensor coupled to a computing device and configured to measure pressure between the backflow preventer and the inlet valve. The system can further include a second pressure sensor coupled to a computing device and configured to measure pressure between the backflow preventer and at least one dispensing valve. The computing device can detect that a fluid dispensing event has completed based on a pressure measurement from the second pressure sensor. After a predefined duration from the end of the fluid dispensing event, the computing device can determine measurements at the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor. The computing device can determine a leak in a fluid pathway based on a change in a pressure measurement from the first pressure sensor or the second pressure sensor.
