Will Moen Flo satisfy my insurance carrier's requirements?

What Is the Moen Flo Smart Water Shutoff?

The Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff is a whole-home water protection device installed directly on your main water line. It monitors your home's water pressure, flow rate, and temperature 24 hours a day — and automatically shuts off your water supply the moment it detects a leak, burst pipe, or unusual water usage.

Unlike spot sensors that only detect water after it's already on your floor, the Moen Flo monitors your entire home's plumbing system from a single point — catching leaks behind walls, under slabs, in water heaters, washing machines, and supply lines before they cause serious damage. Moen's own documentation shows it reduces non-weather water damage claims by up to 96%.

How the Moen Flo Works

Once installed on your main water line, the Moen Flo runs continuously in the background — learning your home's normal water patterns and flagging anything unusual.

📡

24/7 Monitoring

Tracks water pressure, flow rate, and temperature around the clock — even when you're asleep or away.

🧠

FloSense™ AI Learning

Learns your household's unique water habits over time, reducing false alerts while catching real leaks faster.

🔬

Daily MicroLeak™ Tests

Runs an automatic pressure test daily to detect leaks as small as one drop per minute — including pinhole leaks behind walls.

📱

Instant App Alerts

Real-time notifications on your phone the moment something is detected — and shut off your water remotely from anywhere.

🚰

Automatic Shutoff

If a catastrophic event is detected and you don't respond, Moen Flo automatically closes your main valve to stop damage.

Water Usage Insights

See exactly how much water your home uses daily and set conservation goals through the Moen app.

Add Moen Smart Leak Detectors for Full Coverage

"My Farmers agent told me installing a Moen Flo could lower my premium. Tri Express came out the same week, installed it in about an hour and a half, set up the app on my phone, and gave me the paperwork my agent needed. Couldn't have been easier."

Moen Flo Installation FAQ — San Diego

How long does a Moen Flo installation take?

Most installations take 1–2 hours. App setup, Wi-Fi connection, and pressure testing add another 20–30 minutes. Plan for about 2 hours total. Same-day service is available in most San Diego County locations.

Does my insurance company require a Moen Flo?

Some carriers now require smart water shutoff devices on certain policies — particularly for higher-value homes, homes with prior water damage claims, or older properties. Farmers Insurance has explicitly listed Moen Flo as a qualifying device and has mandated installation on some California policies. Check with your agent first, then call us to schedule.

What Wi-Fi does the Moen Flo require?

The Moen Flo requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection and a standard AC power outlet within 25 feet of the installation point. We confirm both during the free assessment before scheduling.

Can Moen Flo be installed outside?

Yes — the Moen Flo is rated for outdoor installation, which is common in San Diego where main water lines often run along exterior stucco walls. Our Poway and Eastlake installations shown above are exterior examples.

What if my main line is inside the wall?

We handle interior wall installations regularly. We create a clean, framed access panel that keeps the device accessible for future service — common in condos and older San Diego homes. Our San Diego interior installation above shows what this looks like.

Will my insurance discount activate automatically?

No — you need to submit the installation verification letter to your carrier or agent. We provide this letter after every job. Most discounts activate at your next policy renewal. The exact discount amount varies by carrier and policy — always confirm with your agent.

Do I need a licensed plumber to install Moen Flo?

Moen recommends professional installation, and most insurance carriers require licensed installation to activate your discount and accept the verification letter. Tri Express Plumbing holds CA Contractor License #926629.

What is the Moen FloProtect plan?

FloProtect is an optional Moen subscription (~$5/month) that extends your warranty to 5 years and adds up to $5,000 in insurance deductible reimbursement if the device fails to detect a qualifying water loss. We walk you through signing up during installation.

Want to review the full device specs before scheduling? Visit the official Moen Flo product page for specs, app details, and the FloProtect plan — then call us at (619) 843-6692 to schedule your San Diego installation.
