WaterCop Z-Wave — Leak Detection and Automatic Water Shut-Off System

WaterCop Z-Wave is a leak detection and automatic water shut-off system that integrates the trusted WaterCop early-leak-detection and shut-off technology with Z-Wave home automation networks, allowing local or remote monitoring and control of a home's main water supply.

How It Works

• Wireless flood/temperature sensors are placed at or near water-utilizing appliances (water heaters, washing machines, dishwashers, sinks, etc.) to monitor for leaks or sudden flooding.
• When a sensor detects a leak, it transmits a closure signal through the Z-Wave network to the WaterCop Z-Wave control valve located on the main water supply, shutting off the water automatically.
• The system can notify key contacts the moment it shuts off the main water supply.
• Homeowners can remotely set up protocols for routine open/close of the water system (requires a properly integrated Z-Wave gateway controller and network access).
• Integrates with other Z-Wave devices — temperature, lighting, security, irrigation, camera — for a coordinated smart-home response.

System Components

Lead-Free Valve

• Full-flow, lead-free brass ball valve (heavy-duty industrial grade) for durability and performance.
• Available in ½″ – 1¼″ sizes; inquire for 1½″ – 4″ applications.

Rugged Actuator

• When activated by a sensor, the valve must be locally reset for maximum protection.
• Electrically driven actuator for quick, reliable closure.
• 110V AC converted to 12V DC (Class 2 power converter with 20′ cord).
• 1.3A full load; tested over 250,000 cycles for long product life.

Flood and Temperature Sensors

• Wireless and battery powered.
• Sounds an audible alarm when leaks are detected.
• Sounds an audible “chirp” when batteries are low.

Ordering Information
