- The Product
SMAWATEC Flowstopper
Total Control at the Source The Flowstopper is installed directly at your building’s main water inlet. Unlike passive sensors, we don’t just alert you to a problem—we solve it.
- Small-Leak Detection: Identify precise water flow of less than 100ml per minute (<2ml per second) to catch hidden leaks early.
- Pipe-Break Detection: Identify large leaks and pipe breaks by the device registering unusually heavy flow over a short period of time.
- Automatic Shut-Off: Our software detects anomalies—like a burst pipe or an open faucet—and triggers the valve to close automatically.
- Fail-Safe Design: Includes a standard power supply plus an integrated backup battery lasting 2-3 days in case of power outages.
- Manual Override: The valve can always be manually opened or closed by hand, ensuring you never lose access to your water.
Application scenarios
Where to install the Flowstopper
One device at the main inlet is often enough, but our system scales to meet high demands.
Residential
Protect your primary home or vacation home that you rarely visit.
Commercial
Safeguard hotel rooms, canteen kitchens, and public shopping mall restrooms.
Remote Sites
Ideal for construction sites or storage facilities where supervision is limited.
