Product Description
The FloodStop 3/4-NPT provides property protection from failed and leaking Water Heaters. A leaking water heater under pressure can start as a small leak and escalate into a flood rather quickly. Don't risk your floors, carpets and other personal belongings to costly and ruinous water damage! Prevent flood damage and avoid costly repairs with this easy-to-install Water Heater Auto-Shutoff Valve.
Simply install the FloodStop valve between your water heater's manual shutoff valve and the water heater inlet. When a few drops of water contact the sensor the valve will close automatically stopping water damage. This system detects leaks early and automatically shuts off the water supply feeding the water heater alerting you with the control panel's alarm. Designed for both residential and commercial dwellings, the FloodStop's Full-Port Auto-Shutoff Valve may powered by using either the AC transformer, or batteries (4 X C Size). The Controller has Output Contacts which allow it to be connected to Alarm Systems or Auto-Dialer if desired. The device can be installed in as little as 15 minutes; no professional plumbers are required.

Valve failed to close after 1 year.
By Donald Gibson
I installed this system a little over 1 year ago. I did a test this weekend and the valve did not close. The motor runs, but the ball valve stays fully open. If there had been a real water leak this system would not have made any difference at all! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many alternatives.

hope i never need it
By S. Coales
decided to order this item after realising our water heater was close to 10 years old. Figured it would be easier and cheaper to install this thing than ro replace the basement carpet if the heater failed.Fitted this in under an hour, some plumbing skills required.works on demand (you can open/close the valve from the controller) and the sensor works with a single drop of water - though be careful where you put it, step on it and you'll break it.

Have had three of them for two years - Excellent
By David Drake
We purchased three FloodStop units two years ago for our main house and guest house. They are all in locations that would suffer significantly with a flood. We do have leak pans, but they won't help a water loss if you are away from home. The Flood Stop units work perfectly and have been tested to assure good operation. The KTec wall transformers supplied with our units are UL listed. Like many consumer products today the wall transformer is "UL", but the widget it powers is exempted. I strongly recommend these units.
