Flume Water Review: A Smart Solution for Your Home's Water Safety

If you're concerned about the safety and security of your home's water supply, you may want to consider investing in a smart water valve like the Flume by Moen. This innovative device is designed to detect leaks and shut off the main water supply line before any significant damage can occur.

In our experience, having a smart valve installed can be a lifesaver - literally. We recently suffered a catastrophic failure of our home's water pipe that resulted in over $28,000 in damages. If we had a Flume by Moen installed at the time, the damage would have been significantly less.

The Flume is easy to install, requiring only a few minutes of your time and some basic plumbing knowledge. Simply attach the motorized valve to your home's main water supply line (1.25-inches or smaller) and you're good to go. Moen also recommends hiring a professional plumber for installation if you're not comfortable with DIY projects.

One thing to consider is that the Flume by Moen requires a nearby outdoor outlet to power the valve. If this is not available, you may need to take additional steps to ensure the device remains powered. In our case, Moen sent out a professional plumber to install the device and ensure it was functioning properly.

In terms of cost, the Flume by Moen comes with a price tag of $499, which is relatively affordable considering the peace of mind it can provide. Installation costs are not included in this price, so you'll need to factor those in as well.

Overall, we highly recommend the Flume by Moen for anyone looking to protect their home from water damage and leaks. Its ease of use, affordability, and ability to detect and prevent costly problems make it an excellent choice for homeowners everywhere.
