Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Home, Away, and Sleep Mode?

  • Home Mode
    is recommended for daily use.
  • Away Mode
    is designed for when you’re going to be away for a few days or longer. 
  • Sleep Mode
    ignores all proactive and real-time tests, parameters, and quiets all alarm notifications, effectively putting the Flo System to sleep. 

Does the Smart Water Shutoff shut down automatically?

If the Smart Water Shutoff detects unusual water use or plumbing issues, it may automatically shut off the water based on mode settings and your responses to Flo by Moen app alerts.  

What if my Smart Water Shutoff is lost or stolen?

Check to make sure that your main water is shut off and immediately install the Flo Spacer to get running water back into your home.

Will I still have water if the power goes out?

Yes, you will still have water. The system does not shut off during an outage.
