Why Flo?
Millions of homeowners are affected by water damage
every year, often resulting in catastrophic nancial,
health and emotional costs.
With our home plumbing systems becoming more
outdated and our most precious natural resource
dwindling, controlling and monitoring our water
has become critical.
Our planet’s water supply is shrinking, drought conditions
worsening and water becoming more expensive.
3
In our homes, 13% of our water is lost due to leaks*.
That’s trillions of gallons of water every year. That’s
a lot of wasted water, and it’s causing billions of dollars
of damage to our homes.
What if homeowners had complete transparency to their
home water usage and the ability to detect even the
slowest and smallest of leaks before they result in
flooding, lost valuables, mold, relocation and costly repairs?
Meet Flo.

Flo Device:
The Heart of
the System
This water monitoring and control
device learns water habits and
customizes actions. A single tap from
your Flo Mobile App will open or close
the valve that controls water entering
your home.
If Flo senses that your home is in
immediate danger, the system can
automatically turn the water off for you.

BACKUP SHUTOFF
If app connectivity is lost, open or close the manual shutoff by
using the supplied hex key to press down and turn the knob.
