The FloodStopper System
Floods caused by both failures in the internal plumbing and accidental overflows in any building are now a thing of the past with the introduction of the FloodStopper System from FirstSmart Sensor Corp.While alarms have been available for water/flood detection - they lack the ability to control a costly disaster. The FloodStopper System actually controls the situation by detecting a plumbing failure and immediately turning off the water supply - a circuit breaker for your water main!
This new system marks the first time that plumbing hardware and electronics have been integrated to deliver a system that detects moisture by using electronic sensors.
How the FloodStopper System works

Multiple sensors are placed in zones throughout your home at points of potential flooding. These sensors are mounted on the floor near a potential problem zone, such as behind the bathroom toilet, washing machine, kitchen sink, dishwasher, or under the water heater.
Sensors are available either in a hardwire or a wireless version. The sensors are connected to the FloodStopper System control panel and the panel is then wired to a HoneyWell valve on your water main.
If any one of these sensors detects water it sends an electronic signal to the control panel. The control panel will emit an audible alarm and/or visual alarm. Some models may be wired directly into the buildings alarm system. The signal then activates a specially designed Honeywell valve to turn the main water supply off . . . all in a matter of seconds!
To determine and correct the leak, the control panel. will display the location of the problematic zone.
With the supply of water turned off, a potential disaster has been averted, relieving yourself of all of the expense and headaches of flood damage and insurance claims.
Once the leak has been corrected, simply press the Reset button and the water supply is restored.
