Flo by Moen is installed on your main water supply line to your home. Because it’s installed in-line, this allows the device to monitor all water going into the home. The device has three sensors that actively monitor water flow, pressure, and temperature. It will automatically shut off water to your home in the event of a catastrophic failure and will send an alert to your phone in real-time if a leak is detected in your home. Flo by Moen is able to detect and protect your home from problems like leaks, burst pipes and more! It automatically sends an alert to your mobile device if it senses any use of water while you are away. This system does allow your water to remain on during the summer so your irrigation system can still function while you travel during the summer months.

FAQ'S
1. Where do my keys stay while we are away?
Your keys stay at your home in a secured lockbox that Aquality Plumbing provides. The lockbox is left attached to a secure area around your home in any location of your choice.
Any garage codes or alarm codes should be made as temporary codes for your vacation, not your personal code. We will store these numbers in our secure database and delete it upon your return.
2. I am nervous to leave access to anyone while we are away.
We understand your concern. All of our staff have gone through a Police Check, and Vulnerable Sector Search by the Calgary Police Department. As well, we are fully insured. We only access your property to ensure it meets certain insurance policies while you are away, and to reactivate prior to your return. If you contact us for an urgent requirement or to book a service call while you are away, that would be the only other time we enter the property.
3. What is the advantage to having Aquality’s Team perform the Home Winterization Service for my plumbing & heating?
We become a third party ensuring the optimum security for your systems to allow for ease of insurance claims if necessary. When homeowners perform these tasks on their own, it can become questioned as to whether the task was done correctly. Our professional service and proof of winterization ensures smooth communication to your insurance provider.
In addition, you can stop inconveniencing your friends or family and travel with peace of mind as we have your back!
4.Do we really need the technology of the ‘Gold’ Package?
Most insurance companies will provide a reduced premium or increase in coverage based on the installation of devices that can automatically shutdown your system and prevent damage.
If you have any questions, please contact us any time at 403-205-2782.
