Do you know how much water your washer or landscape uses? Or do you think there might be a leak somewhere? Coachella Valley Water District offers customers a path to owning a two-part digital device that will answer all those questions.
The Flume Smart Home Water Monitor checks your indoor and outdoor water use 24/7. It breaks down water use by individual household appliances and water fixtures, and notifies you if it detects leaks.
Installation instructions come on a mobile app. Putting the device to work can take less than 20 minutes and requires no plumbing. Fume uses a radio frequency connection between the Flume bridge in your home and the Flume sensor in your water meter pit.
The sensor holds a pack of lithium metal batteries, which provide high energy storage, transmission, and long shelf life. When these batteries run low, Flume will notify you via email or in the Flume app. New battery packs can effortlessly be purchased through the Flume website for $19.99.
The Flume Smart Home Water Monitor works with most home meters. You can check your meter’s compatibility at: Flumewater.com.
Cost for CVWD customers is $85.00, plus tax and shipping, after the CVWD discount and rebate. This offer is good while supplies last. Devices can be purchased online through the manufacturer.
