Why don't you check it? Read the meter, fill up a gallon jug as many
times as you feel are adequate and empty it on the lawn. Read the
meter again. Ten jug trips ought to show 10.0 on the meter. Continue
until you are certain of the meter correlation with the number of jugs
of water. Remember to fill the jugs to the exact level that they were
when purchased with liquid content. Five gallon pails are too awkward
to mess with.

What liquids are sold by the cubic foot?

Some meters do read gallons though. In any case, be sure you know what it
is reading.
