Fast Water Flow
This article includes detailed information on the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff, also known as the Flo by Moen Water Shutoff.
What does Fast Water Flow mean?
Fast Water Flow is a critical alert related to a high rate of water flow. This means that Flo has detected that one or more of your home plumbing fixtures have collectively exceeded the normal rate of water flow that is typically seen in your home or considered normal at that certain point in time.
This could mean that multiple water fixtures are simultaneously using more water than normal, or one or more water fixtures are using water at a higher rate of flow than normal. In a worse case scenario, it could also mean that a pipe in your home water supply may have burst.
If you do not promptly reply to this critical alert, Flo may shut off your water as a precautionary measure.
