Water Consumption & Usage Trends

See an overview of your water usage trends, monitor how much water you're consuming, and see your home's flow rate. Set conservation goals to encourage saving water and money, and see how your usage is tracking against your goal.

System Mode

Adjust the system mode of your location on the Dashboard to Home, Away, or Sleep so the Flo system can better protect you. Device mode can be adjusted by clicking the mode selector in the upper right hand corner of your Flo by Moen app.

• Home Mode is the regular system mode that is recommended for day-to-day use. System monitoring and notifications are available. Actions are performed by the user. Home Mode activates the regular protection expected from the Flo System, such as alarm notifications and automatic water shutoff. Except for circumstances where the inhabitants of the home will be gone for an extended period of time, or when Sleep Mode is appropriate, the system should be left in Home Mode.
• Away Mode is the system mode appropriate for when the inhabitants of the home will be gone for an extended period of time. System monitoring and notifications are available. Actions are performed automatically on user’s behalf. Away Mode adds additional protection to the home by learning what is normal for the home when inhabitants are not present, and in the event of a potentially dangerous condition, the system may take quicker precautionary action by shutting off the water.
  • Water Use in AWAY Mode
• Sleep Mode is a system mode that ignores all proactive and real-time tests, parameters, and quiets all alarm notifications, effectively putting the Flo System to sleep. System is in manual mode. System monitoring is available, notifications are disabled and actions are performed by the user. Sleep Mode should only be used when the home is experiencing or will experience irregular water usage which may trigger an undesired alarm. For example, Sleep Mode may be used when washing a car, refilling a swimming pool, having guests over the home, all of which may cause more water than considered normal to be used and may trigger a critical alarm. Following initial installation of the Flo device, the Flo System may start in Sleep Mode to learn the home’s water habits before being set in Home Mode.

Health Test

You can choose to run a Health Check at any time by selecting the 'Run Health Test' button on the Device Details for a selected device. Flo also performs an automatic Health Test once a day in addition to constantly monitoring your daily water usage. In order to run the Health Test, Flo shuts off your homes water and records any loss in your home's water pressure. The water will automatically be turned back on if you attempt to use it during the Health Test. You are also able to run your own manual Health Test through the Flo by Moen app any time you wish from a Device Details view.
