THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS AUTOMATIC WATER SHUT-OFF SYSTEM
While this is an advanced design automatic water shut-off system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against sudden or accidental discharge of water from a plumbing system. Any automatic water shut-off system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn or activate for a variety of reasons. For example:
- Water intrusion from sources external to the plumbing supply system such as; rain, hurricane, stormwater, sewer back-up, swimming pools, spas, thawing snow and ice, ice dams, HVAC condensation, freezer defrosting, etc.
- Water shut-off valves, water intrusion detectors and sensors, and many other sensing devices will not work without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead or insufficiently charged batteries, or if the batteries are not installed properly. Devices powered solely by AC power will not function properly if their AC power supply is interrupted, however briefly, or cut off for any reason.
- Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal or other significantly dense building or household material, possibly reducing transmission range before signals reach the system receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently inspected during a regular test procedure, blockage can occur if a metal object, or other significantly dense building or household material, is moved into or near the signal path.
- Sudden and accidental water leaks from plumbing systems can occur at any time and at any point in the supply line system. Leaks that occur in areas not immediately monitored by or in very close proximity to an active water leak sensor may not be quickly detected or may not be detected at all by the leak detection system.
- This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is tested at the factory prior to shipment and designed to last as long as 10 years when properly maintained, the electronic components could fail at any time.
- The automatic valve is designed to provide positive shut-off of the plumbing water supply when connected to live AC power. However, if the valve becomes corroded or blocked due to normal sediment or other internal water line material build-up, the valve may not function properly when needed.
The most common reason an automatic water shut-off system fails to perform when needed is due to inadequate maintenance. This system should be tested weekly to make sure the automatic valve and all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
Installing an automatic water shut-off system may qualify a homeowner for lower insurance premiums or a one-time credit. An automatic water shut-off system is not a substitute for adequate insurance or proper home maintenance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should be proactive in protecting their property from sudden and accidental water loss and continue to adequately insure their property against common forms of damage.
