The Flume device is about six inches long. I believe I have enough space in my meter box but I haven't dug the ten years of grime out of it to see for sure.

Do you know if the water company has a policy about customers placing the Flume device in the meter box?

Watch the video on the Amazon website for the Flume 2. It looks to me like the guy is strapping the Flume device directly onto a water meter. I don't know if there are any restrictions by the water company.

I corrected my post. Thank you. That was not at all what I understood from the Flume documentation. Obviously, I need to read it more closely.

We have older villa with water shutoff in ground out front. We got tool from Lowe’s to more easily turn it off. We did have a plumber put a water filtration system in our house which is located in garage. They put a water turn off valve there. Very easy to turn water off from there.

Definitely no valve in garage as the plumber who installed my hot water heater turned the water off outside under ground panel.

I would like to replace those pop out valves under sinks and toilets as that seems like it would be the culprit of a water leak.

Or do they sell a long tool that fits on that odd valve handle? It looks like a rectangular nub.

Also anyone who had a water shut off installed in garage what did you pay and who did you use?

I had a plumber move mine to the front of my garage. They would not go through my poured concrete wall.

There is not one in some courtyard villas. This has been discussed previously.

Contact the Warranty Department. They can tell you where the water shutoff is located in your specific home.
