Flow Monitor Devices and Flume
Track your home water usage with flow monitor devices to receive real-time data on water usage and leak notifications. For a limited time, Metropolitan Water District has launched a flow monitor pilot program for customers to select from five different devices at numerous price points that pair with most water meter types. Some devices require professional installation by a licensed plumber and the rebate amount varies per device.  

Metropolitan Water District programs include Flo by Moen, Phyn Plus and Streamlabs Control devices that detect indoor water use through a free app with remote and automatic shut off capability, and require professional installation. Flume and Streamlabs Monitor are self-installed devices with free app subscription and do not have the remote shutoff feature.
Rainbow Water offers Flume, a self-installed device that monitor indoor and outdoor water use through a free mobile app. The device connects to a free phone app that reports real time water monitoring to track usage down to the drop. Sign up for Flume and be among the 70% of Flume users who detected a leak within the first month. Rainbow Water customers receive an instant rebate with purchase price of $49 at flumewater.com/rainbow
