Water Alarm and Shut Off for Water Heaters Alerts To Leaks, Reduces Damage
Stop water damage before your basement floods or your ceilings or walls are damaged. This automatic water valve with moisture alarm stops water damage by shutting off water into your water heater and sounding an alarm.
Floodstop System has a water alarm combined with automatic water shut off valve for water heater or other 3/4 inch water pipe. Easily install the Flood Stop 3/4 Inch Valve NPT water alarm and automatic water shut off unit. Each water heater needs protection. Slow water heater failure is more common. Know about the small water leaks before flooding occurs: attach the output contacts to your home security system. Avoid home or condo insurance premiums increasing due to costly insurance claims. Avoid the inconvenience of home repairs due to water damage.

Use on any 3/4 Inch Water Pipe for Water Leak Protection
Water heaters are considered maintenance-free. Yet a failed water heater is the single most damaging water appliance in buildings. Slow leaks go unnoticed or water under pressure can blow off the bottom of the tank causing major damage quickly.
To install, connect valve to the cold water line to the water heater. Mount the control unit. Place sensor(s) on floor. Plug power supply into an unswitched outlet. Note: electricity is used only when the sensor detects water.
NOTE: DO NOT PLACE SENSOR DIRECTLY ON METAL PAN OR DAMP FLOOR. If no water is present and alarm sounds, place paper towel or cloth under sensor to "insulate" against floor dampness or metal of pan. When the paper or cloth gets wet, the sensor activates the shut-off and sounds the alarm.
How FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) Works:
The FloodStop valve installs between the water heater and its manual shutoff valve.
Water/leak sensor placement is at the water heater base.
Valve is open until water leak is detected
Water on the sensor signals the Floodstop controller which closes the valve and alarms.
Valve remains closed until system is reset and sensor is dry.
