Leak Stop & Flood Prevention Technology - Automatic Water Shutoff for 1/4" Supply Lines

The Water Block is a dependable, mechanically activated shutoff device designed to minimize water damage. It requires no power and responds to abnormal water flow conditions by halting water flow thus stopping most types of leaks before they become costly disasters. Compact, easy to install, and maintenance-free, it provides straightforward protection for residential and commercial plumbing systems as well as general water applications. The Water Block helps safeguard property, support water conservation, and reduce the likelihood of major insurance claims. This specific kit is designed to adapt directly in-line with a 1/4" threaded supply line used on applications such as beverage machines, refrigerators, fountains, and more. 

Key Features:

  • Leak Detection: The Water Block technology mechanically measures water flow during continuous flow events, accurately detecting and stopping most running water situations. *Requires a minimum continuous flow rate of 0.50 gallons/minute.
  • Instantaneous Shutoff: When a leak or excessive water consumption is detected, the Water Block immediately shuts off the water supply, preventing further damage. This shutoff occurs as soon as the user selected shutoff threshold is exceeded during a continuous flow measurement cycle. As long the consumed water volume stops below the shutoff activation volume, the device will automatically reset itself and be ready for the next use/measurement cycle.
  • Multiple Activation Settings: The device has 10 settings, each being +1.32 gallons. Operating range 1.32 - 13.2 gallons. User can select the shutoff setting within this range. 
  • Easy Installation: This kit can be easily installed on 1/4" compression threaded applications in under 10 minutes.
  • Compatibility: The Water Block is designed to be generic water shutoff for applications with 3/4" connections. The 1/4" x 3/4" adapter fittings included in this kit adapt the Water Block to applications and supply lines that have the smaller 1/4" compression connection.  
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials and Italian engineering, the Water Block delivers exceptional performance and long-lasting reliability.
  • Cost-Effective: By preventing serious water damage and reducing water consumption, the Water Block can save you significant money on repairs, insurance claims, and utility bills.
  • Easy Maintenance: A "set and forget" device, the Water Block requires minimal maintenance. If the device activates, it indicates a potential issue with your toilet that should be addressed.

How it Works:

  1. Installation: Connect the Water Block upstream of the appliance or application you are trying to protect.
  2. Monitoring: The Water Block continuously monitors water flow, detecting any abnormal patterns, leaks, and running water conditions.
  3. Automatic Shutoff: If a leak or excessive water usage is detected, the Water Block automatically shuts off the water supply.

Benefits of the Water Block:

  • Prevent Catastrophic Water Damage: Protect your home or business from costly water damage, mold growth, and structural damage.
  • Reduce Water Bills: Save money on your water consumption by stopping leaks and preventing unnecessary water waste.
  • Peace of Mind: Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your property is protected from major leaks and floods.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Contribute to water conservation and reduce your environmental impact.
  • Protect Your Investment: Safeguard the value of your property by preventing costly water damage.
  • Improve Home Safety: Reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls caused by water leaks.

The Water Block is a must-have for any homeowner, property manager, beverage distributor, or business owner who wants to protect their property from water damage and save money. It's easy to install, reliable, and effective.
