It’s time to review your Installation Checklist
Pre-Installation Requirements Checklist
Be prepared to answer these questions when scheduling your installation appointment.
1.) Locate your main water supply line.
- Is it located inside or outside of your home?
- Is there room to easily access your main water shutoff?
2.) Determine your main water pipe size.
- Your pressure reducing valve or shutoff valve may be marked with the size of the pipe. You can also measure the circumference of the pipe using tailor’s tape or a string.
- Note – the Flo Shutoff is not compatible with galvanized pipes. Check to see if your main water supply pipes are galvanized by placing a magnet on the pipe. If the magnet connects to the pipe, your water line is made of galvanized pipe and the plumber may need to evaluate an alternative installation plan.
3.) Ensure you have an AC power outlet within 35 feet of your shutoff.
If you do not, you will need an electrician to install an AC power outlet near your water main shutoff.
4.) Confirm a strong 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection is available at the installation area.
When pairing your device in the app, confirm the device can successfully connect to Wi-Fi at the installation area. If the signal is weak or unable to pair, we recommend purchasing a Wi-Fi signal extender.
