New and Improved! Automatic Laundry Water Leak Detector & Shut-Off System with Auto Shut Off & NEW Mobile Phone/Tablet App Alerts for Washing Machine Outlets, Flood Stopping & Water Leak Detection

Seems to work well when tested with a small amount of water. There must be some internal rechargeable battery that shuts off water if the device loses power, which is a nice feature. The valve boxes stick out quite a bit, and I had to trim some plastic at the top of my laundry faucet box to get them to fit. Besides the main washer, we have a pedestal washer and a steam dryer, which means that there are a total of 3 Ys, 7 water hoses, and 14 washers connecting everything together, so this is nice to have as reassurance in case something leaks.

Every time I did a load of laundry the alarm would sound off. I would have to turn my washer off and wait about an hour for it to be able to reset then I could do my laundry. This happened every time I started a new laundry load. Then finally after 2 months it wouldn’t even reset!! I had to remove the item and discard it. What a waste of $150 !!! Piece of garbage.

Installed very easily. I tested it for proper operation after install and everything worked perfectly. I test this thing every so often and the last time I tested it was after approximately 7 months of use. One of the two valves no longer closes. Not even during a power failure. This thing cost a lot of money for something that stops working after a few months. I should have just purchased a main line shutoff valve and integrated into a Smartthings leak detector.

Pros: Simple to install. Manual water shut off from control unit. Control unit can be placed up to 5’ away from valves. Much less expensive (at $99) than other options. Cons: Very long automatic valve attachments that stick out from the wall. Edit - Two months after I installed these valves they have more than paid for themselves. One of my supply hose washers failed and began to leak. The moisture sensor was positioned just below the hose connections and tiny amount of water dripped on the floor. That was enough to trigger the alarm and shut off the valves. A leak this slow could have easily gone undetected for weeks and only been found after causing significant damage to the ceiling below, but thanks to this system the leak was found and fixed before any damage was caused. The placement of the water valves, low behind my washer makes them impossible to access without moving the washer. When I switched to a stacked washer/dryer moving the nearly 500 pounds of appliances became a truly daunting task that also involves disconnecting the dryer vent. This has only been a problem a few times, once when the washer valve failed and it filled up and overflowed, and then whenever we go on vacation. Since this washer is on the second floor, leaks can and have caused a serious amount of very expensive damage below. Installation: Installing this unit was very simple. The washer supply hoses are removed from the wall valves, the electronic valves are attached to the wall valves and the hoses are attached to the electronic valves. The control unit needs to be mounted to the wall and powered up with the AC adapter, the wires are connected to the valves and the water sensor is placed on the floor under the valves. The valve wires have quick disconnects, but the sensor is permanently attached to the control unit, a minor inconvenience. Installation issues: The valves are quite long, probably around 5” and on my installation stick out nearly 4” from the wall. I had to place a 2x4 on the floor behind the washer to make sure that the washer does not bang against the valves when in use. Function: When water pools under the water sensor a fairly loud alarm sounds and the valves shut off. The valves can also be shut off by holding a button on the control panel. An LED light on the panel indicates whether the valves are open or closed. If the unit is powered off the valves remain in position – if the valves were closed they remain closed, even after the power is restored. (I tested this by disconnecting the power for about 5 minutes.) Conclusion: This product is well thought out, simple to install, easy to use and works well. The only real negative I found is the long length of the valves. I have also found no indication that parts are available for this product on the manufacturers website, and long term reliability is an unknown. I would purchase this product again.

Outstanding product with ALL necessary parts included and EASY to follow instructions. We live on the 6th floor and now I dont need to worry about a flood damaging floors 1-5!

I bought over 4 years ago and it has saved the day about 4 times, the last one tonight which made me think to write a review. I totally forget about it usually and its been several years since it last went off, but it went off tonight. Clogged drainage and Im in an apartment building on 19th floor with woods floors.

I had a plumber install this according to the instructions. The unit is defective and the yellow light kept blinking no matter what I did in setup. No customer support # to call. I’m having the whole thing ripped out so I can go back to using my washing machine!

Package is well presented and contains all the bits you should need to install it. Installation was straightforward and on testing seemed to work fine. Just rememeber to close your valves before testing if you havent connected to machine as they will open. Star removed for app, its not great and was a pain to setup. It also keeps sending notifications when it connects to wifi. I dont care, i only want a notification if there is a leak. Its quite annoying. You dont need app to use this, will work fine without.

Happy with the product overall. It correct shut off water twice times over 2 years... only issue is the last time it would not reopen valves (kept sensing water even after drying senor for 48 hours). This is my second purchase, still a good value for the money it saved me.

With the laundry room on the second floor of our house and new hardwood floors everywhere, we were concerned about a leaking or broken washer hose causing severe damage. The drain pans we found at big box stores seemed really cheap and inadequate. We got a quote for a custom drain pan for the washer to drain it to the outside of the house in case of a failue: over $5,000! These automated valves have proven to be a far more reasonable solution. We turn them on prior to running our wash and off again when were done. Its not the perfect solution, but it is effective and easy to justify the expense.
