What Types of Smart Water Meters Are There?

  • Water Leak Detection Valves
    A water leak detection valve automatically shuts off the water supply when it detects a leak in plumbing pipes, fixtures, or appliances to prevent further leakage. Alerts are sent through smartphone apps or other monitoring systems.

  • Flow Monitor Devices
    Flow monitor devices are similar to a water leak detection valve. These devices monitor your home’s water use by tracking how much water passes through a pipe over a length of time. Once it passes a threshold, the valve automatically closes and shuts off the water supply.

  • Smart Water Monitoring
    A “smart water monitoring” system measures the pressure and flow rate of water moving through your home’s pipes, offering water monitoring, leak detection and shutoff capabilities all in one device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a smart water meter?

A smart water meter (or smart water monitoring system) tracks water flow, pressure, and usage in real time to help spot leaks fast, cut water waste, and reduce the risk of costly water damage.

In many California cities and counties, and with some insurance providers, leak detection and water monitoring devices are now required for certain homes. Installing one can help you avoid city/county fines and reduce the risk of homeowner insurance cancellation.

Most options fall into three categories:

  • Water leak detection valves: detect leaks and can automatically shut off the water supply.
  • Flow monitor devices: track water usage over time and shut off if usage passes a set threshold.
  • Smart water monitoring systems: combine monitoring, leak detection, and shutoff in one device.

Smart water meters connect to your phone or smart devices through Wi‑Fi (or similar). Alerts can come through audible alarms, app push notifications, and sometimes email or text messages, so you can act fast even when you’re away.

Yes. Many systems can automatically close a valve when a leak or abnormal usage is detected, helping prevent ongoing damage and saving on utility and repair bills.

Often, yes. Some programs offer residential rebates on qualifying leak detection valves, and the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has offered a pilot incentive (base $100) for qualifying flow monitor devices. Eligibility depends on your location and the model installed.
