Flo by Moen Smart Water Detector
Flo by Moen is a robust whole-system leak detection and automatic shutoff product engineered for higher-reliability protection and detailed diagnostics — useful for higher-value equine facilities where preventing equipment damage and lost animal care time has strong financial impact. It provides more sophisticated pressure and flow analytics than most consumer devices, giving facility managers actionable insights to reduce wasted supply and identify problematic plumbing sooner. Compared with utility-grade Neptune or Badger endpoints, Flo focuses on comprehensive protection and actionable alerts at the facility level rather than utility billing integration.
