The basics

The Flume 2 installs in less than 10 minutes and doesn’t require any plumbing work.

The meter doesn’t require an external power source as it’s powered by four AA batteries that come pre-installed and are replaceable. The Flume bridge connects to a standard wall socket and can be placed anywhere in your home where you have a WiFi signal.
