1. In a fluid flow monitoring system for determining the presence of leaks in plumbing pipes of a plumbing pipe system having fluid flowing therethrough under high pressure, the improvement being in a first flow monitor device mounted to a pipe of the plumbing pipe system for sensing the flow of fluid through the pipe, a second flow monitor device mounted to a pipe of the plumbing pipe system downstream from said first flow monitor device, control means for comparing the continuous flow sensed by said first flow monitor device with the continuous flow sensed by said second flow monitor device, and action taking means actuated by said control means when the continuous flow sensed by said first flow monitor device exceeds the continuous flow sensed by said second flow monitor device.
