Flo Shield Sun protection and a secure power connection for your Moen Flo Smart Water Shutoff Born from a $69,000 lesson We didn't set out to make a product. After a $69,000 water damage claim on our own homeowners policy, our insurance carrier required us to install an automatic water shutoff device. We chose the Moen Flo. Once it was installed, we found some real-world problems that could leave a home unprotected. The EXACFIT FloShield is how we fixed them. Problem #1: The sun Our Flo is mounted on the south side of the house, so it sits in direct sunlight all day. Its dark housing soaks up heat, and the unit ran hot even with water flowing through it. Heat is hard on any electronic device that has to work 24/7, 365Days a year, year after year. (In our case, our carrier requires replacement every 10 years.) The Flo Shield covers your Flo and keeps direct sunlight off it, so the device can run in cooler, potentially extending its service life. Problem #2: The power plug comes loose. We've run into this ourselves, and other Moen Flo owners we've talked to have too: the power plug can work loose and pop out of the device. When that happens, the Flo goes offline. It stops monitoring and can't shut off your water. You may not even know it's offline until it's too late. It's only a matter of time until your insurance company will either require full time monitoring of your device, or require you to prove the device was on line at the time of the loss should you have one. The Flo Shield holds the device power plug firmly in place, so your Flo stays powered, protecting your home. Why it matters for your insurance Many insurers now require or reward automatic water shutoff devices. Read your policy closely. Under some policies, including ours, a device that is offline may put your coverage at risk. Your shutoff device only protects you if it's actually working. The Flo Shield helps make sure it is. Key benefits Shields the unit from direct sun to help keep it from running hot. Holds the power plug in place so the device doesn't lose power and go offline.
