Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Appears to be a quality item. Installation is a snap if you have at least some minimum plumbing skills -- it does require cutting into your cold water feed. Tests indicate it will perform it's intended function. Learned from conversation with vendor that it's programmed to cycle one a month to exercise the valve. This is an important feature that isn't apparent from any of the literature that I've read on it. Only question in my mind (came up after a long trip away) is, if a leak develops and the valve closes and remains closed for an extended time (as when you're away for maybe a month), and you have a gas fired HWH, what would happen as the burner continues to function during that period. Think that with a leak (the reason the system functioned)the tank would probably become empty. Don't know how the burner valve would perform in that situation; but, on balance that's perhaps a bit far fetched.

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.The FloodStop (FS 3/4-C) kit automatically shuts 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. 1-Year Manufacturer's Warranty.The FloodStop Water Heater models can also be used on main water supply for the whole house as long as the size of the FloodStop is equal to or greater than the size of your main supply. Additional Sensors can be added by wiring one sensor to another in a chain format. There is no max # of sensors; however you will want to use a larger gauge (20AWG or larger) if splicing more than 50 feet to the furthest sensor.
