What is an Automatic Water Shut Off Valve?
A whole house automatic water shut off valve is a smart leak detector that is put on your main water line and always looks for problems like leaks, burst pipes, or toilets that are running. If something goes wrong, it automatically shuts off the valve to prevent water damage. The system also learns your households typical water usage and performs pressure flow tests. Most systems can connect to Wi-Fi and send you alerts to your phone. This lets you keep an eye on how much water you’re using and turn it on or off from anywhere.
Benefits of a an Automatic Water Shut Off Valve
- Prevents Flooding & Water Damage: A broken pipe or slow leak can cause thousands of dollars in damage in just a few minutes and an automatic shut off valve works much faster than a person could.
- Lower Homeowners Premiums & Insurance Claims: Many insurance companies lower premiums or give you discounts when you install a smart valve. Your rates stay low because you’ll never need to file a flood or water damage claim.
- Smart Phone App: The app lets you see how much water is being used in real time, notifies you of any abnormal activity, and lets you turn off the water from anywhere. It also keeps track of how much you use and when, and can find and shut off leaks automatically, so you can control your system from anywhere. Moen has great video demonstrating their apps capabilities.
- Saves Water & Money: A running toilet or hidden drip can waste gallons of water and money every day.
- Find Wasteful Water Habits: Your kids may not love a system where can see when and how much water is being used. Now you’ll know who is taking 20-minute showers or leaving the sink running.
- Peace of Mind: You can sleep, vacation or go to work knowing that you’ll be alerted of any issues before it’s too late.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can smart water valves lower insurance premiums?
Many insurance companies will lower premiums or provide discounts. Check with your insurance provider. In Orange County, more and more insurance companies, such as State Farm, are starting to require that smart devices are installed, especially on older or high value homes, or high risk areas.
Can I install an automatic water shut off valve myself?
Yes, if you know how to turn off the main, cut, solder, and crimp pipes, you can do most systems yourself in 1–3 hours. If not, hire a plumber who is licensed and has experience with installing these systems.
Can water be turned off remotely with a smart water valve?
Yes, the top systems have a phone app that allows you to turn off the water in your home remotely.
What happens to my smart valve if the power goes out?
Most of the top systems have backup power and will still detect leaks and automatically shut off your water during a blackout. However, you’ll lose app access, remote notifications and the ability to shut off the water remotely.
