FloodStop for Water Heaters not only detects leaks early, but it automatically shuts your water off in the event of a leak, alerting you with the control panel's alarm. Leaks are not only detected but water damage is prevented by stopping the flow of water when a leak occurs.
How FloodStop for Water Heaters Works:
The FloodStop valve is installed between the Water Heater and its manual shutoff valve.
Water/leak sensor is placed at the base of the Water Heater
Valve stays open until water loss is detected
Water on sensor closes FloodStop valve and sounds alarm
Valve stays closed until problem is attended to and system is reset
Your water heater is a very low maintenance appliance and because of this many of us dont realize that it is slowly corroding from the inside out. You cant see this damage but eventually the corrosion will wear through and result in a pressurized leak. The Floodstop turns the water supply lines off when a leak is detected, leaving all your other household fixtures and appliances operational. The valves can be powered by the included power supply with battery back up or you may use 4 C batteries as the primary power source if there is no nearby power source. The non-intrusive devices can be installed in as little as 10 minutes; no professional plumbers are required. Output contacts are available to connect to alarm, home automation, or autodialer systems.
