ActivStopLeak is a new leak detection and prevention device from Activ-Tec, said to offer unparalleled protection against the risks of flood damage in properties.
Described as a ‘game-changer’ for plumbing professionals and property owners, ActivStopLeak is capable of detecting micro flows as low as 0.1 litres per hour, a significant improvement over existing products that typically detect flows from 5 litres per hour at best.
The system’s intelligent control learns normal water usage patterns to identify leaks or burst pipes early. Once a potential major leak has been detected, it promptly shuts off the water supply. This mitigates the risk of flooding and associated damage, including electrical hazards and possible mould and mildew growth.
ActivStopLeak further empowers users with an app for real-time monitoring and control from a smartphone. Users receive alerts for detected leaks and can remotely shut off or restore the water supply. The app also allows for temporary resets in case of minor leaks, keeping the system functional while awaiting repairs, while an optional wall-mounted remote provides a visual status of the water system.
Stuart Gizzi, director at Activ-Tec, comments: “ActivStopLeak proactively prevents the extensive damage and costly repairs that can result from flooding. Its advanced technology can detect even the slightest anomalies in water flow, offering a vital line of defence against severe water damage and costly bills.”
