Okay, so I finally caved and got the Moen Flo after my neighbor's house flooded TWICE (yikes). Installation wasn't too bad - I'm no plumber but managed it in under an hour with some basic tools. The shark bite connectors were a lifesaver!
The app setup was smooth, though it took about a week to fully 'learn' our water habits. The real-time data is super cool - seeing flow rates and pressure stats feels like being a water detective. But heads up: historical data is kinda limited unless you use their website.
Had my first 'leak' scare when I left the kitchen faucet trickling during lunch. Got a call, email, AND app alert within 30 minutes with options to shut off water. Pretty impressive! Though if it was a real burst pipe, I suspect it would've reacted faster.
The $5/month Flo Protect plan gets some hate, but honestly? After seeing flood damage firsthand, it's worth every penny. Like paying for home security but for your pipes.
Few quirks: Fixture identification is... meh. After 3 weeks it sorta recognizes showers and toilets but mixes them up sometimes. And good luck getting your dishwasher or washing machine identified accurately.
BIG UPDATE: They recently added way better historical data access! You can now view custom date ranges which is perfect for comparing to water bills. This bumped my rating from 4 to 5 stars.
Pro tip: Use their chat support - emails go into the void. Overall? Super useful gadget that gives peace of mind, just needs some software tweaks.
