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outdated and our most precious natural resource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.

2

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.

automatically turn the water off for you.
