## What is Flume Water?

The Flume app connects with a Flume Water Sensor installed on your home’s water meter. Flume enables customers to manage, monitor, and conserve water in their home.

Catch Water Leaks and Protect Your Home
Surprises are fun, but not when it comes to leaks. Flume alerts you of abnormal (or accidental) water usage to give you peace of mind whether you’re at home or away.

Down-to-the-Minute Water Use Data
Flume helps you paint a picture of your household’s water use. Dig into the data—down to the one-hundredth of a gallon—and find new ways to reduce your water use.

Overflowing with Savings
A device that pays for itself. Flume automatically suggests a budget so you can cap your consumption and creates leak notifications to catch costly drips. 

Simple Self-Installation. No Plumbing Necessary.
Set up and install Flume in minutes. Just strap it to your water meter. No pipe cutting. No wiring. No appointments. No plumbers.

### 5/5 — Consumer

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.8*

Flume helped me find a leak I didn’t know existed

### 1/5 — Calibration stuck and does not time out letting a stream of water run

*2026-07-03, version 1.9.8*

Ironic how a product designed to save water wastes water

### 5/5 — X

*2026-07-01, version 1.9.8*

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool

*2026-06-25, version 1.9.8*

I’ve had two pipe bursts and 2 leaks.  This lets me sleep easy at night.  I’m also more conscious of my water usage and budget.  The whole system was easy to set up and monitoring on the app is intuitive.  Flume is great!

### 5/5 — Money saver

*2026-06-06, version 1.9.8*

Flume has saved us lots of money. Our church has had times a toilet would be running for several days. Without anyone knowing. Flume alerts us when that happens.

### 2/5 — Lazy iPad implementation

*2026-05-20, version 1.9.8*

The iPad app in landscape looks like an iPhone app running. Pretty useless. The ML learning is also a day behind, so you have to remember what was happening a day or more before to fix the training data.

### 5/5 — Got an alert while away

*2026-05-03, version 1.9.8*

I got an alert today while I was out of town saying the last 2 hours water has been running at 1.9 gallons a minute. I called my daughter and told her to check faucets and toilets. She said the toilet was running. She shook the handle and it stopped running. If I didn’t have flume thousands of gallons would have been wasted before I got home to fix it. Thank you flume!

### 4/5 — Latest updates are helpful

*2026-04-24, version 1.9.8*

I’m hoping the learned behavior update helps with false alarms when my sprinklers go off.  Note that you have to manually enable this.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-04-06, version 1.9.8*

Simply doesn’t work and customer support is only via email.

### 5/5 — Good Customer Service!

*2026-02-01, version 1.9.6*

I was having a problem with my Flume meter. It seemed like it was going through batteries way too fast.  I was able to get another Flume meter and a flume bridge from a coworker who couldn’t use it anymore because it wasn’t compatible with her new water meter.

I was having difficulties scanning the QR code and getting the system set up but a good technician named Keller was able to figure it out for me, he entered all my data on his end, and it turned out that that worked very well.

This event ended up with a happy customer😊
