A leak sensor tells somebody there is water. This closes the main. On an unoccupied property, or at three in the morning, that is the entire difference between a wet floor and a claim that runs into five figures.
Built for the installer
This is the highest-value automation add-on in most residential and small commercial portfolios, because water damage is both the most common insurance claim and the one the customer most clearly understands. It also opens conversations with insurers, who increasingly discount for automatic shutoff.
It ties into Alarm.com so the valve can close automatically on a leak detection, or on a schedule, or manually from the app when the property is empty. The supply cable is nearly 20 feet, which usually reaches a socket from wherever the main stop actually is, since those are rarely in convenient places. Rated 14F to 185F.
Key features
- Closes the main rather than only alerting, which is what actually prevents the damage
- Automatic response to a leak detection with no one present
- Remote close from the app when a property is left empty
- 19.7 ft supply cable that usually reaches a socket from an awkward stopcock position
- Supports insurance conversations where automatic shutoff attracts a discount
System requirements
Requires 100-240 VAC and an Alarm.com account with automation. Installation involves the property's main water supply, so plumbing work must comply with local regulations and may require a licensed plumber.
