LEAK SENSOR - WATER FLOOD DETECTOR

A burst washing machine hose can flood a floor in minutes, and a detector that shuts off the water on its own limits the damage. This leak sensor and automatic shut-off system detects a leak, sounds an alarm, and turns off the water supply to the washing machine through two 90 degree motorized ball valves with 3/4" hose-threaded unions. The water/leak sensor measures 1-1/4" x 7-1/2" and sits on the floor, where water collects first, and the system runs on the included AC power adapter with four AA batteries usable as backup or primary power. It installs in about ten minutes, and a one-year manufacturer's warranty backs it. For a few hundred dollars, it can avoid a costly insurance claim and an angry tenant downstairs.

Key Features:

• Automatic Water Shut-Off -- Two motorized ball valves close the hot and cold supply the moment the sensor detects water.
• Water/Leak Sensor -- A 1-1/4" x 7-1/2" floor sensor detects water at the lowest point and triggers the alarm.
• Sounds an Alarm -- Alerts people in the building to a leak even when they are not at the machine.
• Backup Power -- Includes an AC power adapter, and four AA batteries can be used as backup or primary power.
• Installs in About Ten Minutes -- 3/4" hose-threaded unions connect between the faucets and the washer hoses; one-year manufacturer's warranty.

Where to Use:

• Laundry rooms and washing machines -- Prevent water damage from failed hoses and overflows.
• Multiple dwellings -- Protect floors and units below from flooding.
• Commercial laundry areas -- Add automatic protection where machines run unattended.
