Prevent Water Heaters from flooding
your property:
Water Heaters have a limited life, then leak after years of corrosion. Water Heaters are generally considered a maintenance-free appliance, but they are also one of the single most damaging appliances in the home. Because Water Heaters are continually under pressure, even small pressurized leaks can quickly flood and devastate a home. Whether at home, at work, or on vacation these flooding
events can go undetected for hours or even days.
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 FloodStop, 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.
FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) automatically shuts off
the water supply to the Water Heater and sounds an alarm, leaving all other
household fixtures and appliances operational. Easily installed in fifteen
minutes. 5-Year Manufacturer's Warranty.
FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) Components:
• Motorized Ball Valves (3/4 inch NPT pipe threaded)
• Control Unit with Battery Backup (4 C)
• Water/Leak Sensor (1.25” X 7.5”)
• AC Power Adaptor
How FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) 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
New Next Generation Features:
- Controller has Battery Port for 4 C size
batteries, which will serve as the Primary Power Source if a nearby electrical
outlet is not available. When using the AC wall adapter/transformer the
same batteries serve as a back-up power source if an electrical power
interruption/outage takes place.
- Controller will have (2) Outputs for connection
to Alarm or Home Automation system if desired. This feature can be used to
automatically alert the property owner if the FloodStop was activated.
