You can easily share access to your water usage data with others. Once you share access, the other person (or people) will be able to do the following:
View real-time water usage information (and history)
View Budgets
Subscribe to Notifications
*If this feature does not appear, you may need to upgrade your package, this can be done under settings in the Flume app.
If you have multiple locations, the person you share access with will only have access to the specific location that you've shared. They won't be able to access your usage on your other locations.
To share access to the Flume App, follow the steps below:
First, make sure the person you want to grant access to has signed up for a Flume account by completing these steps:
Sign up for a User Account
Step 1:
Go to the App Store (Apple or Google Play) on your phone. Search for and download the "Flume Water" App.
Step 2:

Step 3:
Enter your user information into the screen below, and click the "Sign Up" button when you are done.
Step 4:
Flume will send you a text message with a verification code. Please enter that code when you get to this screen below. If you don't get a verification code, please verify that you entered the correct mobile number. If the mobile number is incorrect, you can click the link that says "Wrong Mobile Number?" and enter a new phone number.
Step 5:
Click cancel when the app begins asking for Home information.
