Flume helped me find a leak I didn’t know existed
Flume
Flume app icon disappeared. Able to use Siri to display Flume. Tried to download latest version of Flume, but have been unsuccessful. Now Siri says, unable to open Flume! Tried to reload Flume from app, wants to charge me for a new Flume! WHAT DO I DO NOw ???
Latest updates are helpful
I’m hoping the learned behavior update helps with false alarms when my sprinklers go off. Note that you have to manually enable this.
Lazy iPad implementation
The iPad app in landscape looks like an iPhone app running. Pretty useless. The ML learning is also a day behind, so you have to remember what was happening a day or more before to fix the training data.
Some App Flaws
This app is very useful and it detected an irrigation leak on the first day we used it. However, the app doesn’t allow rotation so you have to use it in portrait mode. Also, it doesn’t seem to work with Passwords. Can’t find Flume in the passwords app.

Calibration stuck and does not time out letting a stream of water run
Ironic how a product designed to save water wastes water
Awesome and works for mechanical meter but lack of Applehome/ SmartThings integration
It works with mechanical meter not for digital mete. I have been using for years and saved me many times. But it doesn’t integrate with smartthings and apple home. It will be much helpful if we can integrate with SmartThings and apple home so family members doesn’t need to have many apps. But still one admin member can install flume app to manage it. Not integrating is a very ancient old unfriendly way. We all appreciate if it integrates.
Does not detect leaks!
If you have a slow leak, flume will not detect it. Flume is only good for calculating a “ballpark” figure for your monthly bill. I put too much trust in flume and missed a slow leak under my house. Damage done, flume… useless.
Interface improvements needed
(Review is based on user w/multiple devices in app.) Good: it’s a fantastic tool for property management. Fix a few things and this app would be 5-star for all property managers. Bad: Unfriendly interface for user w/multiple water meters: 1) When clicking on an iPhone notification, the app opens but it doesn’t go to the notification. So trying to find which property it came from can be difficult. Solution for programmer: A Home Page should be added where ALL notifications can be viewed at once. 2) The device list order can’t be adjusted which can be difficult to find items since the active one goes to the top then moves back randomly(?) into the list when another device is chosen which is confusing b/c of problem 1 above. Solution for programmer: Either make list in alphabetical order or allow the user to adjust the list order. Do not move the active device to the top. Bold lettering is enough to determine which device is being viewed.
Excellent Tool
I’ve had two pipe bursts and 2 leaks. This lets me sleep easy at night. I’m also more conscious of my water usage and budget. The whole system was easy to set up and monitoring on the app is intuitive. Flume is great!
Horrible
Simply doesn’t work and customer support is only via email.
Valuable tool
Flume is a valuable tool. I have two properties that a rent as well as my own home. One of my rental properties previously had a pipe burst while the tenant was out, water ran for a week, flooded the house and caused over 100k worth of damage. This tool is incredibly simple to install and provides a valuable safety net to alert you if there is a leak (also great tool to get insight into your water usage). It’s very helpful for understanding how much water your irrigation system uses too. One feature request is for water leaks to be alerted as “critical alerts” that alert even when do not disturb is enabled.
Something changed
It used to be accurate, but recently it’s changed. My sprinklers run on specific days, and sometimes it says they ran when they didn’t, which I can see in my rain machine app. Also giving inaccurate information for the amount my dishwasher actually uses.
Works ok
Wish it would rotate or landscape mode
Money saver
Flume has saved us lots of money. Our church has had times a toilet would be running for several days. Without anyone knowing. Flume alerts us when that happens.
Caught a leak from powder room over water heater!
Well I think it took it more than a day but it did catch an actual leak from our powder room (directly over water heater). Got notification and had to shutoff main and then figure out where the leak was. The paid subscription makes no sense to me and should be free. Data collection from app is also minimal. Update: the app is broken!!
Works but UI a bit clunky
It would have caught leaks if I had configured it “right”. It allows setting a budget without an alert. And when disconnected by a road crew it didn’t show that so I missed another leak. It always seems to be misconfigured and then a leak happens. User error? Yeah, but the UI is a bit clunky.
Got an alert while away
I got an alert today while I was out of town saying the last 2 hours water has been running at 1.9 gallons a minute. I called my daughter and told her to check faucets and toilets. She said the toilet was running. She shook the handle and it stopped running. If I didn’t have flume thousands of gallons would have been wasted before I got home to fix it. Thank you flume!
Over the TOP
Far too many unnecessary alerts. It takes time for any system to see what happens on a regular basis. Everything is an alert. Does not account for automatic pool fills, summer watering levels. Established a budget without any knowledge of monthly use
Works great .. one star off for setup issues
Great product but was a pain to get the app to recognize the QR code . Had to end up manually entering after using the camera app to try and search for it first and then copying and pasting it
Good Customer Service!
I was having a problem with my Flume meter. It seemed like it was going through batteries way too fast. I was able to get another Flume meter and a flume bridge from a coworker who couldn’t use it anymore because it wasn’t compatible with her new water meter. I was having difficulties scanning the QR code and getting the system set up but a good technician named Keller was able to figure it out for me, he entered all my data on his end, and it turned out that that worked very well. This event ended up with a happy customer😊
FLUME2 👎🏾
I had FLUME1; no problems. 💚Bought FLUME 2 but didn’t install for 2 years. Bought 2 new batteries, installed FLUME2 but cannot get it to connect to my wi-fi. Customer service is poor. They are too swamped to help, so they say. YouTube vids say product is trash…I can see why now!!
Helpful monitoring for water usage, but app needs some enhancements
This app monitors the flume sensor installed on my main water meter down near the street. It was easy to install - simply raps around the meter. No tools, etc. The app collects data on water usage by the minute continuously. You can go back and look at different periods of time, and compare by the week, day, hour, and down to the minute. The one big enhancement needed os support for landscape mode on iPad OS. This is not in the current version. There is also more work needed in the flexibility of data export to a .csv or spreadsheet file. I would like to be able to do this to compare flume reported usage to data from my irrigation controllers and data from my water company. The system has delivered value for me. It detected a significant leak in my sprinkler plumbing that was wasting a huge amount of water. Repairing and verifying with Flume I have reduced my water usage and bill by about 40%.
Great and getting better!
Flume does a great job tracking water usage and detecting potential leaks, such as running toilets or dripping faucets. A user can set a threshold for the amount of time that water is running; Flume alerts the user when water has been continuously used for more than that threshold. The newer algorithms also seem to take historical usage into account when alerting for leaks. We have whole house humidifiers on two furnaces. Although I’ve set my leak detection threshold to 3 hours, the app sometimes indicates that water was continuously being used for over 24 hours, which is not the case. It would be nice to be able to parameterize a usage reset interval; the current algorithm seems to ignore that usage dropped to 0 for at least 15 minutes. All of the “real” leaks I’ve seen in the past never drop water usage to 0 at all; there’s always a —sometimes minute— usage each minute.
False Alarms
After driving 40 miles at 1AM in response to a 8+ GPM water leak alert, I was pleasantly surprised that no water leak or usage had occurred. Even shut off the water for peace of mind and app continued to show usage for a couple of more hours. How do I trust the Flume Meter after this? Had been using for about 2 months with no problems. Not sure what I will do….
Hmmm
I had no idea how much water was being used during my irrigation
Amazing Device
This unit was provided free of charge by my homeowners insurance company. This device has helped me manage my water usage. I wish I had this device some months back when I had a drip irrigation malfunction and was hit with a $350 water bill, normally $170. Since installing Flume, I’ve managed to take my bill from $170 to $110. The dashboard and detail sections are easy to navigate and provide helpful insight of your water usage. It’s very easy to install. I highly recommend if you want to manage water consumption and bring your bill down a few dollars.
More frustrating than helpful
The Flume only picks up major water usage so a slow leak over time is undetected. I have found water leaks on my own simply by checking inside the cabinets underneath sinks. The purpose is to prevent water damage but unless you check your app/phone/email frequently, you might not see the notification until damage has occurred. Recently I updated the app and now nothing is appearing. I already have to change the $20 battery pack every 6 months and have to constantly deal with something not working, either the wi-fi connection, the units position has shifted or investigate and waste more time to figure why no data appears. Whilst the stated purpose is useful, the actual function doesn’t match the expectation.
Add support for Canada and bigger QR codes
- I had to take four or five different pictures of my water metre until it got confirmation that it was a supported device - When registering I was not able to enter an address in Canada. I used Washington state instead. - QR code printed on the labels on my flume devices were too small, and I was never able to scan them the letters printed were themselves really small and hard to read. Surprisingly the built-in photos app on my iPhone was able to read the QR code ( the flume app couldn’t ) so I could copy pasted into Kot section. Other than that set up was quite straightforward. I found all the steps really informative, and the device is now set up and functioning properly which I’m very happy about unfortunately the two items above introduced a lot of friction that needs to be resolved, but it shouldn’t be too hard. i’m giving it four stars because there is another review for one star which I think is a little bit harsh. I also want to support the innovative efforts of this company and products, but I think there are quite a few steps that can be improved as part of the set up flow.
Flume Assessment
Once we got our connectivity issues resolved the flume system has worked perfectly. Anyone that travels should adopt this system. Easy to install and record keeping is a dream. An IT friend turned me onto this who has a rental house and used it for detecting leaks in his sprinkler system.
Recalibration process is terrible
Replaced a battery, put the flume back exactly the same way, and I’ve tried recalibrating for hours and wasted so much water. Support can’t figure it out. I’m giving up and spreading the word about my terrible experience. Wasted a whole afternoon on what I thought was a simple battery replacement.
Awesome!
You need this…it has saved me several times. Burst pipe, found in 5 minutes because of flume, toilet malfunction discovered after 15 mins by alert, put one in a house I am watching and was alerted to water usage that was the water heater blown out, watering system malfunction detected whike open and discovered after 25 mins…..there are so many things it has caught it has paid for itself multiple times.
Annoying and doesn’t learn
This app doesn’t seem to learn what the normal flow of the house is. It just keeps alerting me to a leak that doesn’t exist. There is no way to manually train it. For example I’d like to tell it “that is the dishwasher running”. That is the sink. That is the shower. It’s supposed to figure this out on its own by “AI”. If that’s the case my dog is smarter than that AI. I’ll give it a couple weeks, then I’m ripping it out and throwing it away.
