Built in BC
The FL-1000 sensor, machined and assembled in BC.
The FL-1000 in-line flow sensor is the part of the system that detects the leak. Its probe is machined in Abbotsford, BC, and the sensor internals and final assembly are done in Surrey, BC.

Step 01
Machined in Abbotsford, BC
The probe bodies are machined on CNC equipment in Abbotsford, so every part comes off the machine to the same drawing.
-
Step 02
Machined probe bodies
The finished probe bodies, ready to leave the machine shop for sensor assembly.
-
Step 03
Internals and final assembly in Surrey, BC
The sensing elements and electronics go into each probe in Surrey, where the finished sensors are assembled.

Step 04
Fitted to a brass tee
The probe seats in a brass tee that goes in-line on the main water supply, so it sits directly in the water path.
This page is about the FL-1000 only. The point-of-leak sensors, the LoRa gateway and the automatic shut-off valve are manufactured abroad.
What that means for an engineer
- Dual-element probe
- Two sensing elements in the water path let the sensor tell a leak from a temperature change.
- In the water path
- The probe sits in the flow itself, not clamped to the outside of the pipe.
- Down to 0.015 GPM
- Detects flow from about 1 ml per second, which catches hairline cracks and slow drips.
- Standard fitting
- It goes in on the main supply like any other fitting, installed by a licensed plumber.
