Who Needs a WaterCop?
All
homeowners can benefit from the protection and peace of mind that WaterCop
systems provide.
Property damage caused by
aging and faulty plumbing costs homeowners billions of dollars each
year. Many valuables are difficult or impossible to replace, such as;
artwork, antiques, computer data, photographs, and other heirlooms.
Water leakage and damage
is the most common insurance claim. Every year nearly 2,000,000 homes
experience severe damage due to common plumbing problems.
Insurance helps ease the
burden of repairs but really can’t replace your valuable property
nor alleviate the hassles and anguish associated with a devastating
flood loss.
The WaterCop System
consists of two key parts:
- WaterCop electric valve
- WaterCop sensor network
The
WaterCop electric valve should be installed on your main water line
immediately after the existing manual shut-off valve or immediately
prior to where the plumbing main begins to branch to "water appliances".
When the valve closes, it protects everything downstream from possible
flooding. The WaterCop flood sensors are battery (AC optional) operated
flood sensor with wireless transmitters. Because they are wireless,
you will not need to string sensor wires back to the WaterCop valve.
Strategically place sensors in areas that you would like to continuously
monitor for flooding.
WaterCop temperature sensors
protect against burst pipes; and a Water Control Wall Switch gives everyone
in your home a quick and convenient way to control the water supply.
Together, these components work to protect your home against future
losses and possible loss of insurance.
