Do you need a leak detector for compression fittings. The New Generation FloodStop Electronic Water Leak Detection Equipment helps protect your home by automatically shutting off water to the water heater. Because it handles the problem at the compression fittings, the New Generation FloodStop Electronic Water Leak Detection System allows your other appliances to function normally. Since household water leaks and flooding can cost you a fortune, it is better to be safe.

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.

Indoor flooding caused by your appliances can be a nightmare. The cost of cleanup and insurance premiums can be staggering. The New Generation FloodStop Electronic Water Leak Detection and Auto-Shutoff System helps eliminate costly flooding directly associated to your water heater. When the New Generation FloodStop Electronic Water Leak Detection System sensor detects flooding or leaks, it automatically closes the automatic shut-off valve, which attaches to your water heater between the water heater and the manual shut-off valve. After leak detection the valve stays closed until you push a button on the control unit to reopen it. The Controller has a battery port for 4 C size batteries which will serve as the primary power source if a nearby electrical outlet is not available. When plugged in the batteries can serve as a backup power source in the event an electrical power outage occurs. The Controller has outputs for connection to your alarm or home automation system. Through the use of such a system, you can choose to be notified when your FloodStop has been activated.

The fact that the leak detection equipment is a "point of use" product is what makes it such an exceptional value. Whole house water shut off systems can exceed $1000 and require professional installation. Also, this leak detection system does not disable all your other water-related appliances. The New Generation FloodStop Electronic Water Leak Detection Equipment is affordable and shuts off water to only your water heater, allowing other appliances to function normally. Made of durable materials, the New Generation FloodStop Electronic Water Leak Detection and Auto-Shutoff System carries a 1-year warranty and comes with an AC adaptor to plug into any wall outlet. Easily installed in fifteen minutes.

1) Shut off/close the water supply at the existing manual shutoff valve.
2) Remove the existing supply line from the manual shutoff valve.
3) Connect the FloodStop valve downstream of the manual shutoff valve (as close to the manual shutoff valve as possible).
4) Connect the water supply line to the outlet side of the FloodStop valve, which leads to the appliance.
Use pipe sealant for NPT or Compression fittings applications.
Tip: Do not grip the plastic motor drive for leverage when tightening the fitting.
Be sure the water supply line is connected to the appliance before going to the next step.
5) Open the manual shutoff valve and check for leaks (tighten as needed till any dripping stops).
6) For use with 120VAC as the “Primary Power Source”, connect the AC wall transformer to the control unit and install 4 C batteries inside the control unit (batteries will then only serve as a “Secondary Backup Power Source” in case of an electrical power outage).
For use with Batteries Only as the “Primary Power Source” (when a nearby electrical outlet is not available), install 4 C batteries inside the control unit.
Replace batteries every year, or when low battery alert indicator is activated.
7) Connect 4-pin connector to FloodStop control unit.
8) Mount the controller with either Velcro provided (for most versatile mount onto appliance or wall), or screws provided (for most secure mount onto wall).
9) Attach 2-pin connector to FloodStop water/leak sensor.
Tip: Wipe up any water that could activate the sensor and FloodStop system.
10) Place the water/leak sensor at the base of the appliance.
Tip 1: If sensor is located inside a metal pan, place sensor on cloth or paper towel to insulate sensor from metal pan.
Tip 2 : If appliance is set inside a pan, consider using 2 sensors and placing one outside the pan and another inside the pan.
Use more sensors for even quicker detection capability. (Part Number ES-01)
11) Plug AC wall transformer into a standard 120 VAC household receptacle.
Tip: If a nearby receptacle is not available, a thin 15 foot low voltage “Transformer Extension Wire” may be used instead of a standard electrical extension cord. This is an optional accessory (Part Number WAE-15).
12) Initiate test cycle = Drop water on sensor to validate functions. Outputs


The two FloodStop outputs can be used as a normally closed set of contacts for any device that can utilize them.
Here are a few items that FloodStop can be connected to:

Auto phone dialers

Alarm Systems

X10 Home Automation devices
