| Washer Flood Stop System FS3/4H-90 for Washing Machine Leak Detection Prevention: | |
Stop Washer Water Leaks and Washer Hose Break Water Leaks.
NEW FloodStop Washer System Model FS3/4H-90 with
BALL VALVE Flood Protection for the Laundry Room.
Prevent Flooding from Failed Washing Machines & Hoses with Flood Stop.
FloodStop is a point of use, leak detection and automatic water shut-off system
designed for residential, condo, apartment and commercial dwellings. The FS3/4H-90
uses two motorized ball valves to automatically shut off the water supply whenever
your washing machine leaks.
Washing Machines can leak plus standard washer connection hoses can fail or rupture
at any time.
- Avoid extensive property damage and expensive repairs.
- Automatically shuts off hot and cold water supplies when leak is detected.
- Quickly and easily installed by homeowner.
- Prevent additional extensive damage to floors below.
- Insures 24-hour protection, every day.
Protect your home or business from water damage. Washing Machines related flooding
can happen any time from standard washer hoses or internal failures of valves, drains,
switches or pumps. Whether you are home or away, slow leaks or flooding leaks can
go undetected for hours or even days. Safeguard your property and personal possessions
24-hours a day with Flood Stop.
Automatically shuts off water to only the Washing Machine. Sounds an alarm. All
other household plumbing fixtures and appliances are unaffected. Unlike expensive
"Whole-House" water shut off systems that are expensive require professional installation,
these "Point-of-Use" systems are affordable and easily installed.
To install, connect the two Floodstop Valves to the hot and cold water supply lines.
Mount control unit to wall. Place sensor(s) on floor. Units are operated by either
by 120 vAC adapter (included), Batteries OR BOTH!
NOTE: DO NOT PLACE SENSOR V.dirECTLY ON METAL PAN OR DAMP FLOOR. If no water
is present and sensor sounds alarm, place paper towel or cloth under sensor to "insulate"
against dampness of floor or metal of pan. Once the paper or cloth gets wet, the
sensor will activate the shut-off and sound the alarm. Sensor will sound if placed
on metal.
- Kit includes everything you need to protect your property:
- Two 3/4" motorized ball valves with hose fittings to install on both hot
and cold water inlets.
- Water sensor to place on the floor. If there is a pan under washer, purchase
another sensor to place inside pan.
- Control Unit to be mounted with screws or Velcro (included).

| NEW! Hot Water Heater Flood Stop 3/4 Inch Valve (NPT) for Leak Detection Prevention: | |
Stop Hot Water Heater Water Leaks and Breaks.
Prevent Hot Water Heater from
Flooding Home or Business
Failure Activated Flood System.
New Generation FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) kits automatically shut off the water supply
to the Water Heater and sounds an alarm, leaving all other household fixtures and
appliances operational. Powered by AC Adaptor/Transformer or Batteries. Output contacts
available, which allow the Controller to connect with Alarm, Home Automation or
Auto-Dialer systems if desired. Easily installed in fifteen minutes.
Water Heaters have a limited life of typically 5 to 10 years due to corrosion of
tank and pipes. Leaks come without warning.
- Avoid flooding and costly property damage expenses.
- Detect micro-leaks before undetected water leaking creates mold.
- Automatically shuts off water supply when problem occurs.
- Quickly and easily installed by homeowner.
- Prevent additional extensive damage to floors below from clogged drains or overflowed
"pans."
- Prevent high water bills from continuous running or leaking water.
- Insures 24-hour protection, every day.
Protect your home and insurance coverage from flooding and property damage. Water
Heaters are generally considered a maintenance-free appliance. A failed water heater
is the single most damaging water appliance in a home. A water heater typically
lasts from 5 to 10 years. Extensive water damage is more likely because slow leaks
can go unnoticed and water under pressure can blow the bottom off the tank.
Whether you are home or away, water heater failure can go undetected for hours or
days. The FloodStop automatically shuts off the water heater cold water supply.
All other water appliances and plumbing fixtures remain operational. Unlike more
expensive "Whole-House" shut off systems that need a plumber to install, these "Point-of-Use"
systems are very affordable and easily installed by the homeowner.
To install, connect valve to the cold water line going into the water heater. Mount
the control unit. Place sensor(s) on floor. Plug power supply into an unswitched
outlet. Electricity is used only when the sensor detects water.
NOTE: DO NOT PLACE SENSOR V.dirECTLY ON METAL PAN OR DAMP FLOOR. If no water
is present and sensor sounds alarm, place paper towel or cloth under sensor to "insulate"
against dampness of floor or metal of pan. Once the paper or cloth gets wet, the
sensor will activate the shut-off and sound the alarm. Sensor will sound if placed
on metal.
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.
FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) Components:
- Motorized Full-Port Ball Valve (3/4 inch NPT pipe threaded).
- Control Unit with Battery Backup (4 C batteries, not included).
- AC Power Adaptor (or use 4 X C Batteries as Primary Power Source).
- Water Leak Sensor.
- Output Contact Wires (2).
Technical Specifications:
- UL Listed Class 2 Wall Adaptor, 115AC/9VDC.
- UPC listedFull Port, Motorized Ball Valve: CNC machined.
- Motor operates at 6VDC.
- Rated 0-180 PSI. Max 250 PSI. Solid Brass.
- Signal Outputs: 2 normally closed.
- Alarm: Beeping with Mute Button.
Features:
- For added water detection protection, add more sensors. Sensors plug into sensors,
NOT the Control Box.
- The 3/4 inch valve is 4.5 inches long.
- Controller has reset and test buttons to turn water on and to turn water off and
battery back up.
- Easy to install, operate, and maintain.
- No special tools needed for installation.
- Designed for residential, condo and apartment dwellings.
- Full Port Ball Valve automatically shuts off water to water heater when water sensor/sensors
get wet.
- Power: 120VAC and/or battery backup (4 C batteries).
- No wires to route throughout the home
- Alarm: beeping with mute button.
- Water Sensor: 1.5" X 7.5", double sided. Additional sensors may be added in series.
- FloodStop Controller:
- 3 buttons: Mute, Close Valve and Open Valve.
- Water Sensitivity adjustment. Clockwise: less sensitive. Counter Clockwise: More
sensitive.
- 4-pin connection to valve/sensor connector.
- Outputs: Normally closed. Contacts for any device that can utilize them, like auto
phone dialers, alarm systems, X10 home automations devices.

| FloodStop for IceMaker or Water Filter: For Leak Detection Prevention on 1/4 Inch Lines | |
NEW GENERATION:
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 (FS1/4C) automatically shuts off the water supply and sounds an
alarm, leaving all other household fixtures and appliances operational. Easily installed
in about ten minutes. Fits anything that can connect to the 1/4" compression fitting
valve like an icemaker, water filters, mini-bars and more.
- Avoid flooding and costly property damage expenses.
- Detect micro-leaks before undetected water loss creates mold.
- Automatically shuts off water supply when problem occurs.
- Quickly and easily installed by homeowner.
- Prevent additional extensive damage to floors below.
- Insures 24-hour protection, every day.
FloodStop (FS 1/4-C) Components:
- Motorized Full-Port Ball Valve (1/4" Compression).
- Control Unit with Battery Backup (4 C batteries, not included).
- AC Power Adaptor (or use 4 X C Batteries as Primary Power Source).
- Water Leak Sensor.
- Output Contact Wires (2).
How FloodStop (FS 1/4C) Works:
- The FloodStop valve is installed between water supply/angle-stop and the appliance
(located nearest to the water supply/angle-stop).
- Water/leak sensor is placed at the base of the appliance (Icemaker/Refrigerator,
Water Filter, etc.) An extra sensor may also be placed by valve on wall insert.
