Other systems are similar to FloLogic in that they use flow sensing technology to detect leaks, but they offer less comprehensive protection because they rely on water meter technology to see real time flow. These metering devices are helpful for those homeowners who want to monitor their daily water volume use, but water meters only begin to detect real time flow, and therefore leaks, around a pint-per-minute, up to a quart-per-minute range. A pint-per-minute leak in one day will spill 180 gallons of water. FloLogic’s EverWatch™ leak sensing technology can see leaks in real time starting a ½ ounces per-minute (about a tablespoon). Your municipality may already use an advanced water meter infrastructure (AMI) that allows you to log in and see your daily water use for free. FloLogic also differs from cheap competitors in that it’s a cast bronze, US-made valve available in multiple sizes, is proven for more than a decade in the field and comes with a standard battery backup and 5-year warranty.

The FloLogic System is installed on the main water supply line after the meter (or well pressure tank) but before the point where the distribution lines come off to service the plumbing appliances in your home or business. The FloLogic System can be installed in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, indoors or outdoors, as long as it is protected from prolonged water expsure or submersion. While the System is water resistant, a valve cover is recommended for outdoor installations. 

FloLogic is the smartest leak control device because it’s designed to catch the lowest common denominator of any plumbing supply leak: abnormal water flow. The FloLogic System monitors all flow 24/7—beginning as low as a half-ounce per minute (or about a drip-per-second). Normal water use happens in intervals. Leaks are constant. Once flow begins, FloLogic measures the time duration. If the flow time exceeds the allowance, a leak is suspected and the water is shut off automatically. Adjustable Home and Away modes allow normal water use without interruption while flagging and stopping leaks in real time. FloLogic integrates with irrigation, water treatment and pools to distinguish and allow their extended water use from a leak. FloLogic’s flow detection sensitivity can be adjusted between 0.5 – 48 ounces-per-minute. The FloLogic Connect module adds ambient temperature monitoring that can be set to provide notifications as well as automatically shut off the water at a given low temperature. The FloLogic app allows full oversight, system control and receipt of alerts from anywhere.

Any licensed plumber will have the skillset to install the FloLogic valve. A professional is recommended since the pipe must be cut to add the valve. The Installation and Setup Instructions provide a detailed installation guide. Call us Toll free (877 FloLogic) to ask if we have a Preferred Installer in your area.

The FloLogic System comes in three sizes: a 1” valve (for 1″ and smaller pipes), allowing a flow capacity up to 50 gallons-per-minute (GPM), a 1 ½” valve, allowing a flow exceeding 100 GPM and a 2″ valve, with a flow capacity in the 200 GPM range. To determine your pipe size, you can measure the incoming water line’s direct diameter at the end of the pipe. You can also get pipe size by measuring circumference using a flexible tape and dividing the outside circumference by 3.14. For common ¾” water service pipes, simply use the 1” valve.

The app-based control is an optional addition to the FloLogic System and is not required to have a fully functioning device. The local Control Panel enables operational functionality. The System can be connected to a home security central station for auto shutoff monitoring with or without a Connect Module. With the Connect Module and FloLogic app, you will have untethered intelligence, oversight and control of your plumbing system with no monthly monitoring or access fees. 

Yes. As long as your software version is 3.80 or higher, you can add the CONNECT module to your device to add the app control. All 3.5 series models (indicated by a white actuator box on top of the valve/Systems sold since 2014) are compatible. To confirm the software version, go to your System control panel and press and hold the UP arrow until the display goes blank. The panel will restart and display the following sequence: FLOLOGIC; C.VER 3.XX; V.VER 3.XX; SYSCHK; HOME. The two-digit C.VER and V.VER numbers reflect your software version. If you miss the C.VER or V.VER numbers, you can repeat the process.

FloLogic is a “plug and play” System, pre-programmed and ready to be powered by a standard 120v AC. The included power supply, which incorporates the backup battery, is 21 feet, with the final 15 feet being waterproof. Power extension cables are available to add 25 additional feet. 

FloLogic provides the most comprehensive full-time leak protection against leaks of virtually all sizes throughout a plumbing supply among all technologies currently on the market. Low-cost, leak detectors that use metering technology are unable to detect leaks in real time below a flow rate of a pint to quart of water per minute. A quart-per-minute leak will spew up to 360 gallons of water in one day. Many of these products have plastic flowpaths and short-lived warranties. No other flow based product offers battery backup.

Standalone point-of-leak sensors only flag water that accumulates at remote sensors. Multiple sensors are required to be placed throughout a property (many of which will be visible). And these sensors will miss leaks that occur behind a wall, above a ceiling or beneath a floor. Many sensor products do not have automatic shutoff valves to stop a leak. 

FloLogic will identify leaks both small (beginning at 0.5 ounces-per-minute) and big (any level above your flow sensitivity setting), 24/7, and operates out of sight and mind with your water fully flowing unless a leak is suspected. FloLogic may cost more than other leak detection technologies, but our customers and installers find it’s well worth investing a little more to get the commercial-grade construction and comprehensive full-time protection against damaging and wasteful leaks. Home insurers agree, as FloLogic will always qualify policy holders for any available credits and discounts whereas other systems may not. FloLogic also has a best-in-class five year standard warranty.

The FloLogic System is easily integrated with all security systems in the market that accept dry-contact relay inputs and outputs. This is a standard feature. See page 16 of the Installation and Setup Instructions.

FloLogic complies with all regulatory standards that ensure a plumbing product is lead free, capable of being installed outdoors and safe overall for potable water. FloLogic is tested extensively and approved by: UL, cUL, UPC and cUPC, FCC, is Certified to NSF 61-8 and is rated IP68, IAPMO IGC 115 standard for leak detection devices. FloLogic is also approved by the Massachusetts Plumbing Code, a state which sets independent high standards for plumbing products.
