Review on FS3/4H Onsite Pro Washing Machine FloodStop with Straight Valves by Darryl Duncan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent flood protection

Washing machines tend to overflow: the water supply solenoid valve can get stuck in the open position, and when it does, disaster could be upon you. Our whole house was flooded even though someone was in the house but unfortunately was on the other end during the event. When the problem was discovered, hundreds of square feet of hardwood floors were destroyed, as was brand new carpet. FloodStop is equipped with a sensor that detects even a single drop of water and shuts off the water supply to your washing machine. Simple, effective. Without this protection I will never have a home again; It's a lot cheaper than replacing the entire floor! There are competing products that require you to solder special fittings to the plumbing and I would avoid them. FloodStop valves fit directly into the water supply instead of washing machine hoses, then the hoses are connected to the valves. Simple, hassle-free installation and you're protected. This should be mandatory for every newly built house.

Pros
  • Two NC outlets facilitate integration with INSTEON
Cons
  • Not safe
