Flo by Moen Valve: The Essential Wi-Fi Smart Valve for Every Home

Do you want to save money on your utility bills and protect your home from costly water damage? The Flo by Moen smart water valve is the answer you didn’t know you needed. This innovative device is designed for homeowners and is especially beneficial for those who travel frequently or spend long hours away from home.

Why You Need Smart Water Management

Did you know that around 85% of homes in the U.S. use copper piping? While it’s the standard, copper can corrode over time, leading to hidden leaks that can cause serious damage. In places like California, where chloramine is added to water to kill bacteria, homeowners have reported an increase in leaks that often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Even newer piping materials like PEX aren’t foolproof, which leaves many homeowners wondering what to do. Instead of tearing down walls to check for leaks, consider installing a smart device like the Flo by Moen that monitors your plumbing for you.

What Makes Flo by Moen Stand Out?

Installing the Flo by Moen smart water valve is a breeze! It fits onto main water lines with diameters ranging from 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inches. If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, a plumber can set it up quickly.

Once installed, it connects to your Wi-Fi and is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant—no smart home hub required. The valve keeps an eye on your water flow and pressure, sending updates straight to your smartphone.

FAQ's

How Flo by Moen Works

During setup, the app will ask you about your water usage habits, like if you have a sprinkler system. Over the next week, the system learns your water usage patterns. For instance, it recorded 632 gallons used by my sprinkler in just one day!

Once it finishes learning, the Flo valve continuously monitors for leaks and pressure changes. If there’s a burst pipe or an unattended faucet, you’ll get an instant alert on your phone and can shut off the water remotely. Plus, you can set it to turn off the water automatically in emergencies.

If you know you’ll be using a lot of water—say, filling a hot tub—you can switch the system to Sleep mode, so it doesn’t mistake the extra usage for a leak. The app will also notify you of common issues, like running toilets or taps that aren’t fully closed.

The Value of Preventative Measures

The biggest benefit of the Flo by Moen is that it helps prevent catastrophic water damage. I know this firsthand—I once had a pipe burst in freezing weather, and it was a nightmare. With this smart valve, I can monitor my family’s water usage and potentially save on bills too.

The system also performs daily health checks on your plumbing, briefly shutting off the main valve to check for pressure changes. You can schedule these tests for when you’re not using water, so it won’t disrupt your day.

Importantly, there are no subscription fees to use the Flo valve, though you can add Moen Smart Water Detector devices for extra monitoring. If you want more support, Moen offers a subscription service called FloProtect, which provides an extended warranty and additional customer service.

 

Final Thoughts: A Smart Investment for Peace of Mind

In summary, the Flo by Moen smart water valve is easy to use and integrates seamlessly into your home. It offers valuable insights into your water usage while working silently in the background to help save water and money.

For anyone who travels often or spends long days away from home, this device is essential. The peace of mind of knowing you have leak monitoring and instant alerts is worth every penny, especially if you’ve ever dealt with water damage before.
