Auto stopcock

[Ibrahim Kalay]

Hello folks,

Have seen or used one this auto stopcock? Unfortunately I can not add youtube video ( as I am new member )

Looks and sounds great for in house floods / burst pipes.

Is there any alternative to this?

Thanks

No, this is way more sophisticated. I will DM you the youtube link, maybe you can post the link on to this thread.

The Auto stopcock seems too complicated to me. 'It'll turn your water off if it senses a continuous flow of more than 45 minutes...' - damage already done. If you know you've got a leak can you turn it off at that box? I'll have a little read of their website before deciding if I think it's a worthy bit of kit.

I am pretty good with turning everything off when I leave my house if I am leaving for days but I don't do it everyday ( except the lights ).

Sure stop is very good and simple but this product is even better I think ( despite the higher price ). It has auto stop function, if house left ( or rented to tenant ) it will stop the flow before flood the house.
