Flume

I’m excited about our latest techie tool to help on the farm, the Flume water usage monitor. We bought a standard water meter and attached the Flume 2 to the meter in our cattle water pump house. It works be sending a signal 200 feet to our house where it then connects to our wifi. So now I have an app on my phone that shows me minute by minute water usage. But most importantly it sends me alarms if we have a leak. We have 30+ water troughs across the farm and ever so often one of the floats breaks loose or a calf gets in the trough and breaks a valve, etc. So now instead of finding the issue after thousands of gallons of water have run off, we should know about it within a couple hours.
The Flume took me 30 minutes to set-up on Sunday. No tools, easy step-by-step app instructions. It is made to monitor home usage and for anyone who will be away from their house for a week or more, I would highly recommend.
