Saving Money with Flo-n-Stop!

SAVE MONEY AND CONSERVE WATER Dripping faucets and running toilets over time use up a lot of water. This wasted consumption of water add $ to your water and sewage bill. FLO n STOP™, when activated, will stop the flow of water to these fixtures while you are away.

It is not a matter of if you will have water damage but, where you will be when it does occur. The facts show that a refrigerator ice maker water line which is the smallest line in the property has a flow rate of 1 gal/min. A burst washing machine hose has a flow rate of 6 gal/min. and a burst hot water heater can leak more than 10 gal/min. If you are at work or asleep in bed for 8 hours you will have :

Refrigerator Ice Maker- 1 gal/min. x 8 hours = 480 gallons
Washing Machine Hose- 6 gal/min. x 8 hours = 2,880 gallons
Hot Water Heater - 10 gal/min. x 8 hours = 4,800 gallons

That is a lot of water to flow through your home and it can cause a devastating amount of damage to your home and all of your possessions.
