How It Works
- The Control Unit, which houses the circuitry, alarm
lamp, audible alarm, alarm silence button, and
connector sockets, is installed on the cold water
supply to the water heater.
- The exclusive Water Detector Pad lays flat on the
floor (or in a water heater drip pan).
- Upon detection of as little as 1⁄16" of standing water the
Control Unit initiates the alarm and shutoff sequence.

- Shuts off the water supply to the water heater.
Closes the cold water supply to the water heater to
minimize water leakage and water damage.
- Removes the source of power to the water heater.
Should the cause of water detection be from the
temperature and pressure safety relief valve discharge,
it is important that the supply of energy to
the water heater be removed to protect against an
extremely hazardous condition or explosion.
Protects your home or business against the danger
of explosion.
- Energizes an audible alarm and remote alarm contacts.
The Floodsafe™ Water Detector Shutoff has
an internal alarm to alert the homeowner. It also has
contacts that can be connected to a monitored alarm
system, to provide 24/7 notification to a home or
business security service.
