Microleak Test Started
MicroLeak Test Started is an Information Alert notifying the user that the MicroLeak Test ran from the APP has started. You should not use any water while this test runs. Your device will automatically run a daily MicroLeak test, but you can also run a manual MicroLeak test.
What Happens During the Test?
During the test, the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff will close its valve, preventing any water supply from influencing your home. While the water is shut off, the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff will monitor the stability of the water within your pipes for the next several minutes. If there is very little to no pressure change, you will pass your test. However, if you have a drippy fixture or a leak at any point, the MicroLeak check will fail, and Flo will notify you in the morning.
MicroLeak Test Sensitivity
The Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff is able to pick up a drip as slow as 1 drop per minute. Such a small drip will not be visible on your apps “Current Flow” meter. This is because a small drip is not moving enough water to be detected as water flow.
