Peace of mind
By Eric Schoutens
Living in North Idaho, I deal with cold temps that threaten to crack my pipes and I have a basement with a sump pump. I know of several homes that had thousands of dollars of damage due to a cracked pipe that later thawed and flooded the home. I installed a Valve and Actuator on my water main, leak sensors on the water heater, sump pump, washing machine, kitchen sink and dishwasher. When I have the money, I am going to add a water sensor for my fridge (water and ice machine in door) and a low temp sensor in my basement. I have tested the sensors with a puddle of water in my palm and they enter alert mode quickly and you can hear the actuator motor run as it closes the valve. All in all, I would greatly recommend this to someone who lives in cold climates or for a vacation home. I was told that it can interface with a security system as well, so that my monitoring station can call me if the WaterCop system is activated. That is one of my next projects.Updated 3/15/2010This was not too difficult to add to a security system, though it takes a bit of understanding of how these things work. Best to run the remote switch and a low-voltage relay into an RJ-31x with the WaterCop actuator plugged into the RJ-45. A change from the green to red LED (which indicates that the valve has closed) on the WaterCop's remote switch triggers the relay so that the connected security system zone goes into alarm/trouble state. Set the zone as 24-hr supervised. Done! With my Honeywell Vista 20P alarm panel, I set it as zone type 90 (custom) and programmed it to supervise 24/7 & only have the keypads annunciate (no need to have siren screaming at neighbors for a water leak).
