This device, the FloodStop by OnSite Pro, is a water heater leak detection and automatic shut-off system designed to prevent water damage from leaks. It functions by detecting water and automatically shutting off the water supply to the water heater, thereby mitigating potential damage.

Function Description

The core function of the FloodStop system is to detect water leaks and automatically stop the water flow. It consists of a control panel, a motorized ball valve, and water sensors. When a sensor detects water, it sends a signal to the control panel, which then activates the motorized ball valve to close, cutting off the water supply to the water heater. This automatic shut-off helps prevent extensive water damage.

The system is designed for easy installation and operation. The control panel is equipped with visual indicators (LEDs) and an audible alarm to alert the user to a leak. It also features a reset button to restore water flow after a leak has been addressed. The motorized ball valve is a crucial component that physically stops the water flow, and it is designed for durability and reliable operation. The water sensors are placed on the floor near the water heater to detect even small amounts of water.

Usage Features

The FloodStop system offers several user-friendly features:

Easy Installation: The device is designed for simple installation, often requiring minimal tools. The control panel can be mounted on a wall, and the motorized ball valve is installed directly into the water supply line of the water heater. The water sensors are placed on the floor.
Visual and Audible Alarms: The control panel includes LEDs that indicate the system's status (e.g., power on, leak detected, valve closed). In the event of a leak, an audible alarm sounds to immediately alert occupants.
Automatic Shut-off: The primary benefit is the automatic shut-off mechanism. Once water is detected, the system automatically closes the motorized ball valve, preventing further water flow and potential damage.
Manual Reset: After a leak has been resolved and the area is dry, the system can be easily reset by pressing a button on the control panel, which reopens the motorized ball valve and restores water flow.
Battery Backup: The control panel can be powered by an AC adapter, but it also includes a battery backup feature. This ensures that the system remains operational even during power outages, providing continuous protection.
Expandability: The system can be expanded with additional water sensors, allowing for broader coverage and detection in multiple areas around the water heater or other potential leak sources.
Valve Exercise Feature: To ensure the motorized ball valve remains in good working condition, the system can be programmed to periodically exercise the valve (open and close it). This helps prevent mineral buildup and ensures smooth operation when needed.
Remote Notification (Optional): Some models may offer optional features for remote notification, allowing users to receive alerts on their smartphones or other devices when a leak is detected, even when they are away from home.
Compatibility: The system is designed to be compatible with various water heater types and sizes, making it a versatile solution for many households.

Maintenance Features

Maintaining the FloodStop system is straightforward and helps ensure its long-term reliability:

Battery Replacement: The battery backup should be checked periodically and replaced as needed to ensure the system functions during power outages. The control panel typically has an indicator to show low battery status.
Sensor Cleaning: The water sensors should be kept clean and free of debris to ensure accurate detection. Periodically wiping them down with a soft cloth is recommended.
Valve Exercise: Utilizing the automatic valve exercise feature helps prevent mineral buildup and ensures the motorized ball valve operates smoothly. If this feature is not automatic, manually exercising the valve once a month is a good practice.
System Testing: Regularly testing the system by placing a small amount of water on a sensor (and then drying it) can confirm that all components are working correctly. This ensures the system will respond as expected in a real leak situation.
Visual Inspection: Periodically inspect all components—the control panel, motorized ball valve, and sensors—for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all connections are secure.
Firmware Updates (if applicable): For models with advanced features or connectivity, checking for and applying any available firmware updates can improve performance and add new functionalities.
Professional Check-up: While designed for user maintenance, a professional check-up every few years can ensure optimal performance and address any potential issues that may not be apparent to the user.

The FloodStop by OnSite Pro is a proactive solution for preventing water damage, offering peace of mind through its automatic detection and shut-off capabilities, user-friendly features, and simple maintenance requirements.
