How It Works
 

Basic SystemThe FloodStopper™ System by FirstSmart Sensor Corp. is the world's first fully automated water leak detection and control system.

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 toilets, washing machine, dishwasher, or under bathroom sinks, kitchen sink, the water heater and waterfed refrigerators.

The FloodStopper™ System actually controls the situation by detecting a water appliance failure, plumbing failure or accidental floods and immediately turning off the water supply. In simple terms, if the systems sensors detect water, they signal the control panel to have the special valve turn off the main water supply within seconds.

With the supply of water turned off, a potential disaster has been averted, saving the devastation, expense and headaches of flood damage and insurance claims.

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.

To locate the source of the leak, the multi-zone control panel isolates the problem to one of the four zones. The leak can be quickly isolated to a particular sensor in that zone by checking for water at the sensor locations. The same process to isolate the sensor is used for the single zone control panel.

Once the leak has been corrected, simply press the Reset button and the water supply is restored.

FloodStopper Control Panels
The control panels are the "brains" of the FloodStopper™ System. They utilize microchip technology to receive and send information to stop a flood, as well as to warn you visually and in some models, audibly, of any problem.

What could be simpler !
  • Where desirable, some models may be connected to your monitored Security Alarm System.
  • For areas where wiring is difficult, sensors may be connected to the Control Panel by using optional Remote Transmitters.

"We had two floods in our house, so we were happy to hear about a system
that would prevent any more floods. We had the FloodStopper System installed
and it gives us peace of mind, plus a reduction on our house insurance.
Thank you Hugo and C & H Floodstopper System !"
