I like but.....
By Brian
First let me say there are not many products like this to choose from. I wish the covers were a bit more substantial as this unit went under my sink and we use that area for storage. If something hits the cover it will pop right off. I had no real issues installing save one. No where in the directions did it mention that it screws directly into the water shut-off valve. One side had the compression fitting on it, and I was sure the other side was missing a fitting. I looked for the longest time and then resolved to head to the hardware store to get a fitting. As I measured the size I realized it could not accept a fitting and then I was sure it was made incorrectly. After a long time trying to figure out what to do it dawned on me that it might thread onto the shut-off valve. Sure enough that was the case, would have been nice for that to be pointed out. I did test the unit and it works as promised.

Your #2 Area to get a FloodStop
By R. Watts
Out of places for your house to get a flood, there are three primary sources: The most frequent is the washing machine; the next most frequent is the dishwasher (several builders have told me this); and last, but what I expected to be the most, is the hot water tank. If your house is equipped with all three, you should get units for all three locations. I gave up on hot water tanks and went with a tankless hot water heater which should last maybe three decades or more. But I still have a washing machine and a dishwasher, and both of them are now protected by FloodStop devices. The design is quite simple, you put a sensor on the floor under the dishwasher and put the solenoid in line with the water supply. Any leak will cause the solenoid to shut off the water supply, so the worst that can happen is the dishwasher pumps out the water it already has inside it. Much better than flooding the entire house, and you find a problem as soon as it happens thanks to the quite noisy alarm. A benefit of this particular model is a battery backup, so even if power is lost, not only does the valve close upon sensing a leak, the alarm will still be in operation. Good design.

By Psoup
After having 2 kitchen floods and major damage to wood floors and the rooms below the kitchen it was time to do something differently. On Superbowl Sunday our 11 year old fridge broke and did some major flooding. Thought we would be proactive and replace all the appliances. Well a 4month old top of the line dishwasher had a manufacturer defect and flooded the kitchen again. I decided to get this valve to hopefully never use it. It was very easy to install and when I tested it will 1 drop of water the valve closed and the alarm sounded.The only thing that I wish it had was that the valve would be spring loaded a default to closed in case of loss of power or leak detected.This is one of those things you hope to never need to use.
