Got one off of auction site for $50 with a broken plastic collar. Collar was just $8 from Moen. Really easy DIY solder installation. No bypass needed. Just keep the spacer tube and use it to replace a failed unit by turning of the main water supply, removing the Flo and putting the spacer in its place.

Has been working perfectly for about 6 months. Test mode came up with a tiny leak at a toilet that I quickly fixed. Have to put in sleep mode before the wife washes her long hair, or it thinks there is a leak and sends a warning before shutting off the water. The Flo tests itself each night by shutting off for about a minute and then turning on again. it does buzz as it turns on and off.

Moen changed the impeller design to reduce the problems of rusting that users report. Even if you get rust on the impeller, it is a really simple fix, or just replace it with an $8 kit from Moen.

Our insurance company offers about 25% off for these, but the negative reviews are overwhelming! The Home Depot listing for this is littered with bad reviews.

I've had mine for over 4 years, no issues and it has saved me from both my laundry room and kitchen getting flooded in two separate occasions. Plus probably about a hundred other times when a toilet handle or flapper gets stuck. I wouldn't hesitate buying a new one if my current one dies.

I would rather spend $500 again, than go through the hassle that is insurance claims in my state and then getting dropped from my carrier for having filed a claim.

Quote from Jmccalip :
After hearing about the questionable "AI" of the valve, I built my own. I bought a control valve, flow meter, raspberry Pi, and z-wave relay box. The valve is programmed using Node Red within the PI. If I am away or it's night time, it arms. During those periods it won't allow 2 gallons in a minute, or 10 total gallons flow. I have a nice dashboard that I can visit that shows me flow statistics, and it automatically records it to a CSV file. I can also remotely shut down the valve like anything else.

I bought the equipment on eBay and was actually cheaper than this valve, albeit much more work. I was able to find commercial quality equipment like a Belimo control valve and Badger flow meter.

That's great and all but the majority of people just want something that works and is reliable, they aren't prepared for a science project. I have a doctorate in chemical engineering and could probably figure out a solution like yours but I also have a life and would just go for a more commercial solution simply for the fact it's canned, works, and if it stops working I can complain to someone/return the unit. (and I am an extreme DIYer so I'm not averse to getting my hands dirty, but my time does have value).

quick tip: the smart detectors are not needed! it will take action even without them! also you can couple with any other including honeywell detectors. but that is overkill.
I thought you could only use leak sensors from Moens ecosystem?

The moen flo integrates with Home Assistant and so you can build your own rules in node-red/homeassistant automations and have it close under some rules too.

You can get a comparable solution with YoLink and for a lot cheaper. Plus they have a lot of other things too. I have one that is an actuator that attached to the shutoff valve and moves it if one of the leak sensors detects water.

I have a leak sensor in the drain pan, one on the floor and one under the hot water recirculater and all three will engage the shutoff valve if any detect water. Plus they have temperature sensors, smoke detectors and a lot of other stuff.
I looked up the YoLink stuff, looks like a comparable solution is ~$580 for a 1" line [yosmart.com]? I like the look of their solution though.

Have you ever seen PVC/CPVC in a water system? Big Grin (tho quality varies widely... be careful...)

For those of you that need to hire a plumber.
And/or looking to take advantage of insurance savings BUT company requires professional install,
May want to look into a program like FPLhome watershield.
They will provide the equipment and installation and you pay $10month first year and $15month following years.
You can cancel after a few months.

Some insurance companies will give up to $400(or more) discount here in FL.
So no OOP, no Warranty issues etc.

Just to throw another option out there, Guardian makes a water shutoff device that just saved my basement from a leaky water heater. It mounts over an existing shutoff, but requires a device/sensor to get wet. For my water heater, it sits in a small tub and the sensor sits in the tub. Worked well. I have had issues with the software/firmware in the past, but I think the latest revision is working much better. It's a cheaper option as well. I only have mine hooked up to my water heater because I don't have the quarter turn shutoff on my main and my primary concern was my next water heater failure since the first one flooded the basement pretty good.

It seems like you could go with a slightly less smart version using their EVO line + water sensors around the house

No they won't. Insurance companies have new customers being built every single day. They also have what they call reinsurance to cover themselves from claims.

I guess you've never heard of Florida.

In 2012 I filed a claim for water damage in the garage related to a window. Was paid off, fixed. Then dropped from that carrier upon renewal

In a new house 2018 after home builder warranty expired I filed a claim because the AC vents were leaking into the attic causing condensation issues which ruined a couple ceiling spots. Less than $4k in damage, filed a claim. Dropped next renewal.

2016 on my rental property, the hot water heater started leaking, got the closet, drywall, and some of the carpet wet. I called to attempt a claim, I didn't have water damage coverage so I hung up and that was it. Next renewal cycle I was dropped from that carrier. Every insurance company I called would ask me if I fixed the water leak and asked to provide proof. Even though no claim was ever filed. Same property was dropped from the next insurer I had because they drove by and didn't like the way the roof looked, with pictures which what they highlighted was an overhang that was not even part of the roof structure. Now I have to use the state sponsored insurance(which is now the biggest insurance supplier in the state because the government wrote laws that got taken advantage off)

My parents in 2018 also filed a water damage claim on their property, denied renewal.

One of my best friends, last year filed a claim for his roof. Finally got paid 8 months later and got dropped even before he got paid out.

If you have time I have a long list of more examples. As climate change, natural disasters, and just homes and the stuff in them gets more expensive. Insurers will get more stringent in other states. Same thing is happening with cars, as they get more expensive to fix so will your premium.
Sounds like you are one of the huge violators/scammers of insurance BS down here.
BS Roof and water claims.
Thanks for making my rates go up.

I paid for my roof replacement $44,000 .
2 of my stupid neighbors with smaller houses had there scam roof replacements of $80k and $90k

No sympathy from me.

My parents since 1971 have never filed a claim even with multiple properties.
My inlaws 1 LEGITIMATE CLAIM due to oil burner backup in NY they died at 95 and 89.

Own 3 homes...We had 1 legitimate claim in 2008 due to hurricane... most homes lost anywhere from 3 rows of tiles to majority of roof tiles.(since1993)

I prefer the flume water monitor from flumewater dot com
While it does not automatically turn off water supply, it is excellent at alerting on leaks, high usage, creating budgets, and just overall usage monitoring.
No cutting of pipes, fits around your water meter. A bridge connects to your wifi and the flume sensor on water meter talks to bridge.
App is great and their support via chat is excellent.
Seems much more versatile and less expensive.
My only concern with the Flume device is the battery usage. I am only getting about 3-4 months out of the battery pack which costs about $15 each. That's $45/year just for the battery alone, it adds up quickly.

I was all set to pull the trigger on this deal after finding out our Southern Nevada Water Authority provides an additional $100 rebate. (But no credit from State Farm.) After thinking about it for a few hours, what others have said about 20 minute showers, I realized my pool has an autofill device. The autofill easily runs in excess of 20 minutes at a time, all times of the day. Unless I'm missing something, I'd be hearing the Flo alarm incessantly.

South Florida they absolutely will cancel you for 1 water claim Olympus
You seem to know how bad it is.

Quote from Dr. J :
What's your deductible? Sounds like you file a lot of claims IMHO. In my experience, in order to file a homeowner's claim, the damage should be pretty substantial otherwise you're just asking to pay more in premiums in the long run than if you'd just paid for the repairs OOP. Also why it doesn't make sense to set (and pay for) low deductibles. What's the sense in having a $2k deductible (and paying higher premiums for it) when you'd never file a claim for such a small amount?
Did you not read at all my post? I only ever filed one claim, and yes it was over $10k in damages and I even used the insurance's adjustor instead of a public one which would have gotten me more money for the repairs.

Looks like you didn't read my post either, which leads me to believe you probably didn't read either when you voted for the people in power that allowed homeowners to sign away their rights to contractors and take advantage of the system.

Insurance and taxes is why my house is currently for sale and I am leaving the state. My premium was $3.5k in 2013 and it's now $11k, no claims on this property in 11 years and I've even improved wind mitigation on all openings and a new roof out of pocket. Good luck when the next storm comes and you have to handle any claims.

No flow info, so you need another device... But it probably would work well for some people.

I just got mine from Costco and it came with the 2 sensors so it looks like they sorted the issue out.
