Calculation and observed tool result
Capacity remaining = max(0, 600 − 500) = 100 litres; 100 ÷ 5 = 20 days. Calendar limit 2026-06-30; earlier estimated review 2026-02-21 (20 days from count date).
Recorded quantity: 100 litres.
What the result means
Twenty capacity days determine a February 21 review.
A mistake to avoid
The installation date is not the same as the usage-count date.
