Water damage is likely the most traumatic and costly problem a homeowner can
endure. It’s a stealthy leak or blown pipe while you’re away, but the results are
catastrophic. That’s where the MoenFlo Smart Water Shutoff Valve comes in, an
innovative device that protects your home through leak detection, monitoring of water
consumption, and even shutting off your water supply in case of an emergency.
What is a MoenFlo Valve?
The Moen Flo by Moen Smart Water Shutoff is a Wi-Fi enabled device that is installed
on your home’s primary water line. Sensors and AI technology track the flow, pressure,
and temperature of the water at all times. If something seems off, such as a dripping
faucet, a hidden toilet leak, or a full blown burst pipe, the MoenFlo valve alerts your
phone and can automatically cut off your water to save damage. Imagine it as a
plumbing security system.

Why Every Home Needs a Smart Water Shutoff Valve
Based on industry statistics, water damage claims are 7x higher than fire claims and 6x higher than burglary claims. The typical insurance claim for water damage is worth more than $10,000, but with smart devices like the MoenFlo valve, that risk can be reduced or eliminated. Additionally, insurance companies can even provide discounts or incentives to houses that are fitted with water monitoring systems such as MoenFlo.
