It is cool, for example, if you want to water the yard, press the "Bypass"
button and it gives you two hours.
If you are leaving town, press the "Away" button and it will shut off the
water in 30 seconds if it detects flow over a small pre-set amount.
And this is really cool, If you forget to push the "Away" button and it
detects no activity for 18 hours, it will set "Away" for you.
There is a "Disable" button to take it off line.
To turn off all water, press "Bypass" and "Disable" buttons at the same time
and its the same as if you had, found the tool, gone out to the meter valve,
fought the spiders, dug the dirt away and turned it off there.
It is cool

Cool! I actually ran across those valves in my search for new
shut-off valves, since the originals in our house will not turn off
the water. I have to use the meter to turn it off if I want to replace
a bib washer.
I wondered how they could tell the difference between a shower and a
broken pipe. I was trying to imagine flow meters on both sides of
valvfes that would know if they had been opened or not, nothing a
simple as a timer!

I was telling SWMBO (my sole partner in building our metal frame home)
how
great this list is. I told her that our grey water lint problem may be
solved thanks to Allan's tip through this list.
She suggested I share some things we built into our house that some of
you
may not be aware of and stated we have three or four things she had never
seen or heard of before.
After waking up to a broken washer hose in our previouse house, when I
read
about the Flo Logic, I had one on order that night. The price has
tripled
since then, but is a better system.
It has saved us one big time when the ice maker tube broke. we came home
to
water on the kitchen floor and that was all. There have been numerous
times
a leaking toilet or a faucet inside or outside was left on that caused it
to
shut off, small things, but handy.
One of the main things we like about it is the ability to turn off all
water
to the house with a push of two buttons. If my wife had to turn the
water
off at the meter, or lose an eye, her nick name would be Patch.
Ours has been in service for 12 years, we have it set for 15 minutes
because
there are only two in the house. When company is here I go back to the
30
minute default.
