The use of Flume products can result in lower water bills and the avoidance of potentially catastrophic property damage due to leaks. This increased visibility provides complete home protection by catching and alerting users of leaks as they happen, inside and outside of the home. Along with the corresponding app, users are able to view and monitor indoor and outdoor water use from anywhere, at any time. Flume works with virtually any water meter and is easily self-installed in minutes. Installing the Flume system will help mitigate water loss before severe damage to the home can occur. Due to a water loss, homeowners may lose access to their kitchens or bathrooms and, in some cases, have to move out entirely for months. On average, more than 40% of a home's premium in California is attributable to the risk of water damage.
