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) 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
NEW FEATURES:
1) Motorized
Ball Valve.
2) 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 adaptor/transformer the same batteries
serve as a backup power source if an electrical power interruption/outage
takes place.
3) Controller
has Outputs for connection to Alarm or Home Automation system
if desired…. to automatically alert the property owner if
the FloodStop was activated.
