FloodStop for Water Heater (FS 3/4-NPT,  FS 3/4-C and FS 1 1/4-NPT kits available)

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.

FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT), (FS 3/4-C) and (FS 1 1/4-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.

How FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT, FS 3/4-C and FS 1 1/4-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

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 supply line ruptures are detected by FloodStop's water/leak sensor, and the water supply is automatically and immediately shut off.
