Costco Members: Moen Flo Smart Water Monitor & Shutoff + 2 Leak Detectors: 1" Shutoff

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.

A few thoughts. Pipe size is easy to determine with just a ruler. Put a a straight piece of anything against the pipe, stick the ruler against it and you can easily read the diameter. I am in my late 80's and installed myself with a cheap pipe cutter, steel wool to clean the pipe outside and fitting inside (very important!), solder, flux and a torch. Always heat the pipe on the other side from the solder and should get a good joint with a piece of solder not much longer than the diameter of the pipe. If you bursh some flux on the hot finished joint and then clean it off the pipe, you will have a beautiful, professional looking joint. Got the fittings at HD. If that is too much of a problem, Shark Bite type fittings can be used. Measure carefully, cut with pipe cutter, remove any burrs and install the fittings using the spacer included with the Flo to get the proper measurement. Takes only about 30 minutes to do, if you have all the tools and parts at hand.

The Flo will work even if your network goes down. Just Google - Flo by Moen local mode.

Yes, if you take a very long shower, the Flo will send a warning notification before shutting down the water. The same will happen if you use your hose to wash a driveway, etc.. The solution is to simply put the Flo into "sleep mode" with a simple tap on the app. I use the 2 hour sleep mode for these things.

A subscription is optional with the Flo, not a requirement.

You can put the Flo app on multiple devices, so anyone in the family can use it. Only one at a time.

Moen support was great in providing info for getting the parts to repair the "broken" Flo I bought on ebay. The black attachment rings and and impeller kit with retainer were $8 each and were shipped the day I ordered them.

I thought you could only use leak sensors from Moens ecosystem?
