Last summer our water bill rose and fell unpredictably. We later discovered a slow drip from an outdoor faucet that had gone unnoticed for months, and that leak cost us considerably. A Flume smart home water monitor would likely have detected the leak as it began, saving water and money.
How often do you review your detailed water usage? If you’re like most people, only when a bill looks wrong. By the time you notice, a month or longer could have passed, during which significant water was wasted and extra costs incurred.
Flume offers a straightforward way to monitor and manage household water use. It’s easy to set up and use:
- Connect the Flume device to your home Wi-Fi network.
- Attach the Flume sensor to your water meter with the included strap.
- Install the Flume mobile app and begin monitoring your water consumption in real time.
That’s all it takes to start tracking usage and receiving timely insights.
Monitoring your water usage offers several practical benefits:
- Leak alerts: Configure Flume to notify you when water runs continuously for a set period—an early indicator of a leak.
- Neighborhood benchmarks: Compare your consumption with similar households to see whether your usage is typical or excessive.
- Budget controls: Create water budgets and get alerts when you approach or exceed limits so you can adjust behavior and reduce waste.
- Damage prevention: Detect sudden flooding events, such as a burst washing machine or dishwasher hose, so you can take immediate action and limit damage.
Flume brings continuous, accessible water monitoring into your home, helping you save water, prevent costly damage, and better understand daily consumption patterns.
