FloodStop for Icemakers or Water Filters
Prevent flooding from Water Filter or Icemaker:
Water Filter and Icemaker components are small and break easily. Water-line
breaks develop from movement, accidental bumping and simple vibration. In many
cases a crack in the water-line grows from simple vibrations, eventually and
unexpectedly rupturing, and then flooding the property. Whether at home, at
work, or on vacation these flooding events can go undetected for hours or even
days.
FloodStop (FS 1/4-C) automatically shuts off the water supply to the Icemaker or
Water Filter and sounds an alarm, leaving all other household fixtures and
appliances operational. Easily installed in ten minutes.
FloodStop (FS 1/4-C) Components:
• Motorized Ball Valve (1/4 inch Compression Fitting)
• Control Unit (with Battery Backup 4 X C Size)
• Water/Leak Sensor (1.25” X 7.5”)
• AC Power Adaptor (or use 4 X C Batteries as Primary Power Source)
• Output Contact Wires (2)
How FloodStop (FS 1/4-C) Works:
• The FloodStop valve is connected to the angle stop and supply line
• Water/leak sensor is placed at the base of the appliance
(Icemaker/Refrigerator – Water Filter – etc.)
• 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
Without FloodStop, Flooding Will Continue:
Unexpected appliance failures cause flooding and water damage, which will
continue unabated until the problem is discovered and the water supply is
manually shut off. With Flood Stop,
Property Damage is Avoided:
Water loss from unexpected appliance failures and hose ruptures are detected by
FloodStop's water/leak sensor, and the water supply is automatically and
immediately shut off.
