(866) 889-5012 Mercury Insurance Continues Partnership with Flume Water Monitor to Help Policyholders Reduce Water Leaks
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.
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.

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.
