A leaking supply line or failed water heater can flood a home in hours. A whole-home smart water shutoff sits on your main water line and closes the valve automatically when it detects a leak. The two systems ALL Plumbing installs most often in Charleston and the Lowcountry are FloLogic and Moen Flo. Both protect the whole house, but they work differently and fit different homes.
How both systems work
Each system is plumbed into the main water line where it enters the house. It watches water flow, learns what normal use looks like, and shuts the water off when it sees a leak pattern, such as water running far longer than it should. You get an alert, and the valve can be reopened once the problem is found.
FloLogic at a glance
- Built for whole-property protection: a strong choice for larger homes, second homes and vacation properties.
- Keeps protecting without the internet: leak detection and shutoff work even if Wi-Fi goes down. Optional connectivity adds remote alerts and control.
- Simple day-to-day use: a control panel inside the home lets you set Home and Away modes.
Moen Flo at a glance
- Smart-home features: a phone app shows daily water use and lets you shut off water from anywhere.
- Daily health tests: the valve briefly checks for very small hidden leaks, like a running toilet or a pinhole leak.
- Needs Wi-Fi and power: the smart features rely on a steady Wi-Fi signal and a nearby outlet at the valve location.
Which one fits your home?
| Situation | Usually the better fit |
|---|---|
| Primary home, good Wi-Fi, you want water-use data | Moen Flo |
| Second home or vacation home that sits empty | FloLogic |
| Short-term rental | Either; FloLogic if internet is unreliable |
| Large home or larger main line | FloLogic |
| Tight budget, standard 1-inch main | Moen Flo |
Installation matters
Where the valve goes, the size of your main line, the condition of your main shutoff and pressure-reducing valve, and access to power all affect the right choice. A licensed plumber will also make sure irrigation, pools and water filtration systems are set up so the valve doesn’t shut off during normal use.
