Flo Smart Water Monitor & Shutoff—Installation & Setup

Catch leaks early and shut off water automatically. We install and configure the Flo by Moen Smart Water Monitor & Shutoff so your home is protected 24/7 with real-time flow sensing, pressure monitoring, and automatic shutoff—managed right from the app.

What it does

• Detects leaks from pinholes to burst pipes using continuous flow and pressure analytics
• Auto-shutoff when it senses a major event, with instant phone alerts
• Daily health tests (micro-tests) to spot slow, hidden leaks
• Usage tracking so you can see where water goes and set conservation goals
• Works with smart home platforms and can tie into insurance discounts (varies by carrier)

What we verify on site

• Valve size & location: ¾" or 1" main near the meter or where the line enters the home
• Straight pipe section for accurate sensing and clean install
• Wi-Fi signal at the valve location (we can recommend a mesh/AP extender)
• Electrical: nearby outlet if an external power supply is required for your model
• Bypass/isolation options for service and testing

Installation process

1. On-site assessment: confirm pipe material/size, shutoff location, Wi-Fi strength, and drain path for commissioning
2. Options & written pricing after the visit: valve size, adapters if needed, app/setup preferences, add-on manual bypass
3. Professional installation: shut down water, cut in the Flo valve, proper unions/adapters, support and strapping, clean terminations
4. Commissioning & app setup: connect to Wi-Fi, run system checks, set alert thresholds, add users, and walk you through modes (Away/Home/Sleep)
5. Handoff: show how to test auto-shutoff, interpret alerts, and silence/override safely

Why homeowners add Flo

• Peace of mind while traveling or during cold snaps
• Reduced damage risk from failed hoses, toilets, angle stops, and slab leaks
• Lower premiums or rebates where insurers/utilities participate (varies by ZIP)
• Water savings through real-time usage insight and alerts

Good to know

We can pair Flo with new main shutoff/PRV, replace old angle stops, and label critical valves during the visit.

For multi-unit or large estates, we can design zone protection and add point sensors where helpful.
