E-SDS Automatic Water Leak Shut Off Valve System,Water Leak Detector with 2 Valves,2 Sensors and Sounds Alarm,for Pipes 3/4 NPT,Flood Prevention for Laundry Washing Machines,Water Heaters and More

Had a problem with the waste pipe backing up occasionally when the water filtration system was doing regen/backwash. Took a little bit to install, and get it right but that was more user error than anything. It would be nice if they offered a longer sensor cord as I wanted to use that for our hot water heater which was in another room, but can use an audio extension cable to extend the reach or splice the cord. Also, no way to mount the control box, but heavy-duty Velcro worked very well

Install was easy, but there wasn’t any detail to be sure that I had the device in the proper flow direction. It should have arrows pointing in direction of flow.

So the product is pretty well built. The servo/ball valves look to be high quality heavy construction. The wires to the sensors are very thin so I wouldn’t be too rough with them. The installation was kind of a pain. As most people have the hot/cold shutoff valves in my house are tucked inside the wall box. So there isn’t enough room in the box to just spin on the auto shutoff values (blue parts) so I had to find some female to male hose connectors that can be tightened without whole assembly needing to spin. So after all the connectors are on, the whole thing sticks out too far from the wall and is tight to back of the washing machine. So I wanted to just pull out the machine a few inches away from the back wall but it’s inside a leak pan that has no room to move. So in the end I had to Frankenstein up a bunch of connectors to bring the auto values above the height of my washing machine (no hiding the solution it’s there for all to see). I could have removed the pan since it’s probably no longer needed, but I figured belt and suspenders weren’t such a bad thing. If they had built the auto valves with spin on connectors that would have made this much easier and streamlined to install. I did test unit and it works well when exposed to water.

Exactly as described. Not an issue but needs to be near sn outlet or use sn extension cord . Also if putting in a heater drain pan has to be on something insulating. Doesnt work directly on metal pan

Took several tries to get this installed. The valves keeps leaking. I finally got it installed and it wored well for about a year. Sensor failed after a year. Valves failed shortly after. I could not find parts to just replace the failed parts. Total waste of my money.

Valves work flawlessly and the battery backup gives you piece of mind in case of power loss

It works fine once you get it installed. It has two female fixed threads which made it so it wasn't a straight bolt on. Having two fixed threads means you have to rotate the whole bulky assembly which requires significant space to install it. After two trips to the hardware store I was able to get it installed. If it had one fixed male thread and one rotating female thread it would have gotten five stars.

This was easy to install. I tested the product by placing some water and the alarm went off and it shut off the water in the water heater. Worth every penny.
