Application

FlowStop® can be installed in new builds and retrofitted into existing and occupied buildings. It is particularly suitable for student accommodation, hotels, offices, residential developments and other multi-occupancy properties.

Description

WRAS approved Andel FlowStop® monitors the water supply to a property and automatically shuts it off in the event of abnormal flow or the risk of freezing pipes.


FlowStop® comprises a control unit and a valve unit (integrated latching solenoid valve and flow rate sensor) which actively monitors the water supply to a property. Each control unit can monitor up to two valve units. It detects abnormal water flow or the risk of freezing pipes, automatically shutting off the water supply, saving water, saving on water bills and protecting against the costly consequences of water damage from burst pipes, internal leaks and floods.


Features and benefits:

  • Highly cost-effective.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Easy to install, easy set-up.
  • Monitors up to two water supplies.
  • Freeze protection (user adjustable).
  • Time-out protection (user adjustable).

  • Override control.
  • Discreet flush or wall-mounted control unit.
  • Option to add leak detection sensors.
