Next Week's Fix a Leak Week Highlights Need
for Vigilance
LOS
ANGELES, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury
Insurance has announced the company's ongoing partnership with
Flume — a leading provider of smart water loss prevention
technology — will provide additional savings for Fix a Leak Week
(March 18-24). Mercury policyholders
can save 25% on the retail price of Flume. In addition, in
qualifying states*, Mercury will provide discounts on homeowners
insurance after the device is installed and will keep the discount
going as long as it is active.
"We are excited to continue this partnership with Flume," said
Adam Bakonis, Mercury Senior Product
Manager. "Water leaks are the leading cause of non-weather-related
homeowner losses. Saving our customers money while providing them
multiple layers of protection means we are doing our job."
Flume's Smart Home Water Monitor is compatible with about 95% of
residential water meters in the United
States (you can check compatibility at
flumewater.com). The device straps around your water meter and
lets you know exactly how much water you're using. After a quick,
10-minute DIY installation, Flume begins monitoring your water
usage and can help prevent or reduce damages due to leaks. The
instant Flume catches a leak, a notification is sent directly to an
app on your cell phone.
Flume has found that 70% of users find a leak within 30 days and
that 10% of homes have leaks that waste more than 90 gallons of
water a day.
The Flume app is unique in that it allows you to monitor your
water usage inside and outside your home. The app saves customers
money by alerting them in real time to abnormal water usage and
uses machine learning to increase efficiency and allows consumers
to manage and monitor their water usage.
For more information on this program visit:

are encouraged to check their eligibility for water district
rebates at https://flumewater.com/rebate/. Qualifying homeowners
may be able to save money on their purchase through the Mercury
partnership and claim a water district rebate after purchase to
save even more money. Some homeowners may save the most by
purchasing directly through their water district's partnership with
Flume.
Smart home devices help consumers save money, reduce energy
consumption and prevent costly home repairs. Mercury Insurance
offers discounts on homeowners insurance premiums with the
purchase of qualifying smart home products.
*Mercury currently offers policy discounts for Flume on

Jersey, Nevada,
