Just a heads up - this company does some major bait and switch. I got the Flume 1 and they have consistently removed features since launch, including the text alerts which were pretty critical as that was one of the only ways to setup multi device alerts.
Removed Brazilian Rainforest Store link per moderator's request - see reason below. Definitely don't go there directly and search, as it would circumvent any share paid back to the site owner.


Yes, but that deal can't be posted on SlickDeals because it's a 3rdparty seller with less than 1000 feedback. The rules don't allow those to be posted here, regardless of whether the seller is the manufacturer or not. I've been told by the moderation staff that the application of this rule is a a private matter and is not to be discussed in the Hot Deals forum, so if there is any concern about the rule, we should take it to Deal Talk or one of the appropriate forums.
I've had this for a few months now after dealing with some ridiculous high water bills.

It's a nice to have and is probably a savior to some, but I've soured a bit on the company after they've introduced this subscription plan. Allegedly, I'm grandfathered into their "detailed" data and AI stuff, but it's the same data that was available prior to their subscription model, so just an annoying money grab IMO.

Setup is surprisingly easy and is seemingly very accurate. Guess overall it's recommended if you're seriously worried about leaks, but you're going to get a lesser product than it was prior to the subscription, or pay more in their subscription to get access to their data metrics.

For those with smartthings, there is a 3rd party device handler that allows smartthings to use the flume usage alerts as a leak detector. I got the new Titan valve actuator from zooz which turns my shut off valve. Smartthings will turn off the water with the Titan if it has a leak from the flume or other moisture sensor. I accidentally tested it when running 2 showers and washing machine which triggered the high usage alert and worked well.

You were not charged by shady 3rd party Amazon sellers. They don't have the ability to do that.
It was not at Amazon.
SD posted deals from two websites similar to dailysteals.
I figured SD vetted sellers but as long as the check clears....

It's $129.00 + tax on Amazon after adding the coupon. Sold and shipped by Amazon. No brainer.

I have been using the Flume 2 monitor for little over a month now. Installation was pretty easy, but needed to purchase a pentagonal socket wrench separately to remove the cover from our outdoor water meter "hole".

It detects water flow and leaks perfectly. For me, it detected leaks as lillte as 0.1 gallon per minute.

They are now pushing to get their annual paid Insight subscription, but there is no way in Hell I am going to get that. The base support is good enough for me and I just find this push to buy additional paid service morally objectionable!

Yeah, I can't imagine the Miami-Dade water dept. allowing you to attach a device to their water meter.
It's illegal for them to not allow you to.

Pretty easy to install. The videos on their site are very detailed and their support team is very responsive as well

I realize a lot of folks here are unhappy with the device / service. I have the flume 2 and it has worked perfectly. Their support has been pretty good as well. I was grandfathered in before the insight subscription became effective - but the reason I purchased this was for leak detection.

only issue with this is that if the strap around the meter becomes lose or if moves out of alignment, the device does not alert you to that. so, it will show zero usage for days in a row, but doesn't alert you to the possibility that there is a problem. Keeping the strap tight will prevent this, but it is a simple fix from the software perspective (if zero usage based on usage pattern, alert user)
