When we know how much water we use at home, saving water becomes much easier. One of the best ways to manage your water use is by purchasing and installing a flow monitor device. These devices monitor your water use and alert you of leaks and high usage. They can help you avoid unexpected increases in your water bills and help prevent water damage to your property. Hundreds of customers in our service area already use these devices and see the benefits and savings. You can get one too!

We want to help you save money on your purchase. Helix Water District customers can get up to a $150 rebate on a qualifying flow monitor device. Check out the flow monitor devices below and determine which device fits your needs and budget best. To apply for the rebate, go to socalwatersmart.com after you have purchased and installed your qualifying device.
