    I went to go check out Sinope’s site, and it was already in my browser history. I wonder what past me was looking up…lol

    Besides that, the smart valves are so much cheape than Moen! I might have to actually get one now. The ever looming threat of potential water damage stresses me out way too much.

      The math we did was that the price was lower than an insurance deductible, and future rate hikes because of that. We also told our insurance company about it, and they said it reduced our home insurance cost. We halved our home insurance cost between the sinope, alarm system, pipe replacement, and changing providers.

      For the sinope, you must consider installation cost if you want a plumber to do it. That probably adds hundreds.

        I actually didn’t even think about the insurance deductible. You’re right that, even with installation, it would be less than that. Thanks for the info!
