Remote Water Line Shut-Off Works Without Wi-Fi
Flo by Moen doesn’t even need an internet connection to operate. It’ll monitor water flow in a building and shut itself off if sensors indicate a problem. It can also be used to monitor and shut down a water system remotely when it’s connected to the internet.
“There are other smart water usage monitors on the market, but they all require internet connections,” says Bryan Uhler, Pioneer Builders. “All Flo by Moen needs is a power supply and a water line.”
Uhler is an active contributor to YouTube and Instagram with videos on all things building. After Moen sent him the device, he installed it and shared his impressions with FARM SHOW.
The water usage monitor senses water usage over time and the total gallons that pass through the system. It has high, medium and low sensitivity settings. If a selected setting is exceeded, the valve closes, and water is shut off.
Flo by Moen can be used with any 3/4 to 1 1/4-in. cold water pipe, including in agricultural situations. It’s designed to be installed after the water meter and the main water shut-off. When installed on well or irrigation water service lines, it should be placed downstream of water filtration systems.
Flo by Moen is priced starting at $700 (www.moen.com).
