FloLogic
Smarter Leak Detection & Unmatched Protection with FloLogic Automatic Shut Off
Unlike traditional spot sensors that miss hidden leaks, FloLogic utilizes advanced water flow sensing technology. This intelligent system continuously monitors your water flow, detecting even the smallest pinhole leaks or massive bursts. When it identifies abnormal water usage, FloLogic springs into action, automatically shutting off the water supply and preventing catastrophic damage.
How the FloLogic System Works:
Whole-Home Protection Starts at the Source
The FloLogic system protects your home in a different way than floor-level sensors. It monitors water flow at the main line, so it can spot unusual or continuous water use anywhere in your plumbing, even when the leak is hidden. That means you're not waiting for water to show up on the floor before you find out something is wrong.
Watches Flow at the Main Water Line
Installed on your main water line, the FloLogic system monitors water flow continuously from a single, central point. That whole-home view helps protect every fixture, appliance, and supply line downstream, including plumbing hidden behind walls, under floors, and in other hard-to-see areas.
FloLogic Leak Detection Recognizes Continuous Flow
Normal water use comes in bursts, like a shower, a faucet, or a dishwasher cycle. Many supply leaks behave differently because once they start, they often keep running. FloLogic leak detection begins tracking continuous flow once it reaches your sensitivity setting, and if that flow lasts longer than the limits you’ve set, it flags a suspected leak and responds automatically.
Home and Away Modes That Match Real Life
The FloLogic system is built to protect your home without getting in the way of daily life. Home and Away modes let you set different continuous-flow limits based on whether the property is occupied, and you can fine-tune those settings to match how your household uses water. This helps FloLogic leak detection react quickly when no one should be using water, while still allowing normal activity when you are home.
Sensitive Enough to Catch Problems Early
When sensitivity is set appropriately, the FloLogic system can catch small, persistent leaks early, before they turn into costly repairs. At the same time, it can respond quickly to high-flow events like a burst pipe. Together, that helps reduce wasted water and lowers the risk of major property damage.
FloLogic Water Shut Off with an Automatic Valve
If abnormal flow is detected, FloLogic automatic shut off can activate right away. Water is stopped at the main line to help keep a small leak from turning into a major flood.
FloLogic vs. Traditional Spot Sensors: Why Upgrade?
Leak protection comes down to detection versus prevention. Spot sensors alert you only after water reaches the device, while the FloLogic flow-sensing system monitors your main line for abnormal flow and can trigger FloLogic water shut off through the FloLogic valve.

Feature |
FloLogic Flow-Sensing System |
Standard Water Sensors |
|
Protection Approach |
Flow-based prevention that monitors water use patterns and detects abnormal flow before visible water damage spreads. |
Point-of-leak alerts that notifies you after water reaches the sensor’s location. |
|
Coverage area |
Whole property coverage from one installed point, protecting pipes, fixtures, and appliances downstream. |
Local coverage only where sensors are placed; areas without a sensor are not monitored. |
|
Hidden Leak Detection |
Yes. Can detect supply-side leaks in walls, ceilings, and slabs by identifying continuous or abnormal flow. |
No. Typically cannot detect a hidden leak until water escapes into the room where a sensor is located. |
|
Automatic Shutoff |
Standard. Automatically shuts off the main water line through the FloLogic valve when a leak condition is detected. |
Not standard. Shutoff usually requires an additional smart valve, hub, or compatible add-on. |
|
Sensitivity |
High. Detects very low, continuous flow events, including slow leaks (adjustable down to 0.5 oz/min). |
Lower. Typically triggers only when water physically reaches the sensor. |
|
Long-run Water Uses |
Designed to accommodate extended water use when configured properly (for example irrigation or pool fill). |
Requires placing sensors near risk areas and it only alerts if water reaches the sensor. |
|
Maintenance |
Low. One centralized device to manage, with fewer components to service over time. |
Higher. Multiple sensors mean more batteries, more placements, and more ongoing checks. |
|
Scale and Reliability |
One system protects the entire home from a single point of control. |
Protection depends on how many sensors you buy, where they are placed, and whether batteries are fresh. |
FloLogic Frequently Asked Questions
Can the FloLogic system detect a tiny drip?
Yes. FloLogic leak detection is highly sensitive and can be adjusted down to 0.5 ounces per minute, which is about a drip per second. Away Mode does not change sensitivity, but it typically uses a tighter continuous-flow time allowance so the FloLogic system can react faster when the property is unoccupied.
What happens if my power goes out?
The FloLogic system has battery backup, so it can keep protecting your home during a power outage. It continues monitoring locally and can still shut off the water if it detects a leak.
Can I still water my lawn or fill a pool?
Absolutely. The FloLogic system is designed to accommodate longer water uses when configured properly. For high-volume tasks like filling a pool, you can temporarily override protection using the bypass option from the control panel or the app, then return to normal monitoring when the task is complete.
Is the FloLogic valve compatible with PEX and copper piping?
Yes. The FloLogic valve can be installed on common residential plumbing materials, including copper, PEX, CPVC, and galvanized pipe when installed with the appropriate fittings. The FloLogic system is available in 1”, 1.5”, and 2” sizes to match your main water line diameter.
Does the FloLogic system qualify for insurance discounts?
Often, yes. Many homeowners' insurance providers offer credits or discounts for installing a flow-based automatic water shut-off device, but eligibility and savings vary by carrier and state. Ask your agent what documentation they require, and provide the FloLogic system spec sheet to confirm qualification.
