Getting calls this week from clients whose carriers will cut premiums if we install whole‑home auto‑shutoff valves with smart leak monitoring; we put in two Flo by Moen units on 1" copper and saw about 20% less phantom use after 30 days. Anyone pairing these with demand‑controlled recirc to curb wait‑time waste and stack a local water rebate?
Flo + D’MAND Kontrol button at farthest bath; add a spring check so recirc doesn’t trip ‘leak’ alerts… Which carrier?
I’ve had best luck adding a normally‑closed zone valve on the recirc return tied to the demand button and balancing the loop to about 0.4 gpm so Flo doesn’t flag it and the utility counts it as “demand‑activated” for the rebate. Otherwise it can freak out like a smoke alarm over bacon — @paul_eva11 which carrier’s paying out?
