“Simple to install, good instructions. Recommend placing a small non-metallic weight on top of the sensor to hold it down because the supplied wire is stiff enough to raise it off the floor.”
“The Taco water heater shut off valve was so easy to install. The easy actuator release allowed me to install the valve in my water line without fuss. Easy electrical hook-up with just three plug-ins on the controller and I was done. Lightweight yet solid construction ensures this valve will last a long time without stressing my water lines. Now I have peace of mind that if my water heater leaks I won't have to throw away all my stuff in my basement, and with the extra dry contacts available, I'll be able to connect other monitoring capability as well. I'm now considering another valve to shut off all my water if a leak occurs other than at the water heater.”
“Our company used to use the Taco leak breaker system. We used literally hundreds of them. I’ve been going back to multiple failures of the valves; the ball valves get stuck and do not shut off. I have contacted Taco multiple times, but no one really cares. If you are putting this in an area that can be flooded, look for something else. We are now trying Flood Stops. Note it also didn’t matter if water was softened or not. I have one in my own house with a softener and it still gets stuck. We’ll be taking it out soon.”
“This was an easy install as it is quite a compact unit. It is well made and is easy to test. Manual controls for opening and closing ball valve, if needed. Audible alarm that can be muted.”
