Refine Your Sprinkler Schedule

Ever wonder where your water goes? If you use a sprinkler system, most of it is probably outdoors. Flume lets you see your indoor versus outdoor consumption, view your usage history, and build a more efficient irrigation schedule.

Excellent smart home monitor

This is by far one of the simplest and best home monitoring devices I’ve found. It’s super easy to install, accurate, and insightful. I found leaks from day one, and when one of the kids forgets to turn off the hose or an irrigation valve malfunctions (both of which have happened) I receive an alert instead of a huge water bill.

Already paid for itself

We have had this device installed for 3 months and it has detected multiple irrigation leaks, a bathroom faucet that didn't get turned off all the way, and a running toilet yesterday. When you live in a desert environment, water conservation is top of mind. This device is easy to install. You set your parameters based on normal usage and anytime it exceeds that amount it alerts you. Just amazing! Everyone needs one of these.

Found a leak the first month

I don't know how this thing works, but it does. After getting the thing set up, it was kind of cool to see when water was running and when it wasn't. I also know when my water softener is regenerating. But I was really impressed when I received a notification that we had a possible leak since water had been running for two hours.
