What is the advantage of the WaterCop® system compared to a “whole-house” water shut off, based on minutes of water flow?
Our WaterCop system differs from a “flow-type system” because it detects water as soon as it starts to leak and reaches a sensor. Any water detected will cause the sensors to close the main water supply and stop the flooding. This means that you will have a very quick response to leaks. Flow valves will ask you to determine and program how much flow is acceptable over a given amount of time before it will shut off the water supply. The main problem with this type of system is that the valve cannot tell if the flow is a result of a nice hot shower or water running out of the bottom of your ice maker. If you allow a reasonable 20 minutes of flow, you could be letting hundreds or thousands of gallons of water flood your home before it is stopped. Insurance companies and plumbers alike recommend that you turn off your water before leaving your home for long periods of time. With the WaterCop system you can do this easily!! No programming! Simply push the red ‘close’ button on the valve. Th
