Flo

Flo is a smart water monitor and shutoff that's designed to keep your home safe from water damage by monitoring for leaks and shutting off your water supply if it detects a problem. The device offers detailed real-time alerts and lets you control your water usage remotely through the Moen Smart Water App.

Flo is mounted directly on the main water line and works with a range of pipe sizes. The system uses artificial intelligence to learn your water usage patterns, which helps it spot problems and small leaks that might not be immediately apparent.

Among Flo's features are:

• Automatic Shutoff: Shuts off your water supply if a leak is detected to prevent damage.
• Real-Time Notifications: Alerts you through the app, phone calls or emails if a leak is detected or if your water usage is out of the ordinary.
• App-Based Control: Lets you monitor and control your water usage from anywhere using the Smart Water App.
• Microleak Detection: Performs daily tests to detect leaks as small as a single drop per minute.
• Conservation Goals: Offers insights into your water usage so you can cut down on waste and lower your utility bills.
• Smart Home Integration: Works with Amazon Alexa, Ring, Alarm.com and NICE.

Flo is designed to give you peace of mind, particularly if you're away from home. It's been shown to reduce water damage claim events by 96 percent and alert homeowners of hidden leaks within the first 30 days of installation. The system can monitor your water usage patterns so you can set conservation goals and get alerts if you use more than usual or if your flow rate is higher than expected.

Flo should be installed by a licensed plumber and needs to be near an AC power outlet. You can view your water usage history, set goals and get alerts through the app. Flo works with multiple properties and can detect freezing condition alerts.

Pricing isn't disclosed, but insurance discounts may be available through participating providers. A one-year limited warranty covers manufacturer defects. You can register your product to get personalized customer support and to unlock warranty benefits.

For homeowners who want to protect their homes from water damage, Flo is a relatively complete and active system that can detect problems and shut off your water supply.
