One of the worst disasters that can happen in your home is a water leak. If you think about it, a flood in a house is a real disaster. When there is a serious leak in a room, almost everything suffers: floor coverings, furniture, ceilings, windows, walls, interior doors, household appliances and electronics. It is also necessary to think about the possible threat of flooding of neighbors below, in which case the amount of damage could increase significantly.
There are 2 ways to protect against leaks:
- simple – these are prevention methods
- special – modern system of protection against water leaks.
As practice has shown, by observing all possible preventive measures, installing high-quality and reliable plumbing equipment, no one is immune from force majeure; there are situations when even a high-quality hose, pipe connection, all kinds of fittings, adapters, flexible liner etc. in the apartment can lead to a leak, or the faucet in the bathroom was simply not closed.
To protect your home from such force majeure events, in the vast majority of cases, a modern system based on ball valves with electric drives, a control unit and sensors for monitoring water leaks will cope. This solution is an ideal option, because... The main goal of such a system is to stop an accident at the earliest stage, which allows you to protect yourself from accidents.
Today, there is a huge selection leakage systems, these are mainly Russian developments using Western technologies, the most famous and popular brandsGIDROLOCK (Gidrolok), NEPTUN (Neptune) and Akvastorozh, also appeared on the market new generation wireless systems from the company Triple+, p manufacturer - Israel.
How data works water leakage systems quite simple, special sensors (wired or radio) are installed on the floor in places of possible leaks, which are connected to the control unit (controller), in the event of a leak, water falls on the contacts of the sensor, it transmits an alarm signal to the control unit, which in turn sends a signal to electric drives installed on ball valves, the water supply is shut off and an audible alarm sounds.
The water shuts off within a few seconds, in the presence of cold and hot water, the valves in both circuits will close. After eliminating the leak, to avoid triggering a false alarm, it is necessary to wipe the sensors dry and only then turn on the signal on the controller to open the taps and start the system in standby mode.
In our online store There is a wide range of systems against water leaks:
- Manufacturer: Gidroresurs company.
There is a huge selection in stock necessary equipment designed to prevent leaks, both relatively and country houses, and based on electric drives PROFESSIONAL with ball valves BUGATTI (Italy).
Worthy of attention new from the company Gidroresurs - this is innovative protection against leaks Hydrolock Winner+, a non-volatile system against water leaks that does not require connection to a 220 Volt network,
For the convenience of selecting non-standard sets of water leakage control systems, for example, it is necessary to add the number of leakage sensors, or it is necessary to increase the number of ball valves with electric drives, or equip the system with radio sensors, we have made

This production company has its own design bureau, which is engaged in the development and production of engineering plumbing equipment.
The Aquastorozh product range includes both ready-made kits and components for Aquastorozh leakage systems. The most popular product today is the kit, this 4th generation system, it works on the basis of the new “Expert” series controller
The "Expert" controller has three control buttons and as many as 12 LEDs. "Open" and "Close" buttons
Allows you to open and close taps manually. Long pressing any of these buttons completely disables the system for 48 hours (after this time, the system will automatically return to operating mode).
Button "Disable sensors for 60 minutes"will solve the problem of sensors drying out. After eliminating the leak, the sensors need to be dried, but the presence of the “Open” button allows you to immediately open the taps without waiting for the sensors to dry.
The "Flood" LED begins to blink when water gets on one of the leakage sensors, while 5 LEDs appeared in the "Expert" controller, which indicate which of the sensors was triggered; when there is a leak, one of the 5 LEDs lights up, indicating which sensor is flooded. You can learn more about the new features of one of the most advanced controllers for water leakage control systems
In addition to the expanded functionality in the Akvastorozh equipment, there are quite a few important point is super fast closing time of ball valves Aqua watchman at the time of the accident ( average response time - 3 seconds! )

Water leakage protection systems – functional solutions, allowing to prevent emergency situations in the water supply system, which often lead to serious financial expenses, litigation with neighbors. The most relevant use of such devices is in the apartment multi-storey building, where there is a risk of flooding of several floors at once.
Components
The protection complex consists of the following elements:
- Controller (control unit);
- Sensors;
- Automatic shut-off taps.
Detectors are located in risk areas - under sinks, bathtubs, plumbing fixtures, electrical appliances that use water, such as washing and dishwashers. When a signal about moisture ingress is received from the sensor, a signal is sent to the controller, which instructs the shut-off tap to stop the water supply.
Such equipment is not a luxury, and its price is fully justified by the potential consequences of even a small flood. Leakage protection systems can be regarded as part of an advanced “smart home” complex, but at the same time, it is a reasonable necessity that should be in every apartment.
Purchase at Tavago
In our online store you will find a variety of leakage protection systems, which you can buy directly on the website. To do this, add the appropriate product to your cart and place your order. We deliver goods throughout Russia by transport companies.
Modern houses are equipped with a large number of plumbing fixtures and household appliances, the functioning of which is associated with the consumption of water. Undoubtedly, toilets, showers, washing machines and dishwashers, heating systems and even a refrigerator with an ice maker are very convenient and useful household items that make life easier modern man. But sometimes these benefits of civilization leak, and an unexpected flood causes major troubles. A special protection system will help prevent the occurrence of leaks and, accordingly, avoid unexpected costs for eliminating their consequences. You just have to choose and install it correctly.
“Three pillars” of the protection system – how does it work?
It is not difficult to understand the operating principle of such equipment. Any leakage protection system is based on three mandatory elements. The first is sensors that are installed under the bathroom, behind washing machines, dishwashers, in shower stalls, near heating radiators, and in other places where there is a danger of leaks, but it is almost impossible to notice them immediately. The second component of the protection is the control unit, which performs the function of an electronic dispatcher. As soon as water in the system begins to leak, the sensor will work, and the signal received by the controller is transmitted to the third structural element - the locking mechanism. Depending on the chosen protection and installation location, standard emergency shutoffs can be used ball valves with electric drive or solenoid valves.
While the operating principle of all protection systems and structures is the same, there are other parameters with additional features functioning, degree of convenience, practicality and, of course, safety of use. You should also take into account the complete set required for each specific case, and the possibility of using additional equipment.
By studying the technical characteristics of the most popular protection models, we will try to identify positive aspects their operation and warn about possible difficulties. Thus, by considering products from several aspects, it will be easier to choose the right device to protect against leaks in the water supply network.
Recognized reliability
Gidrolock protection is produced by Gidroresurs, a leader in the production of equipment that ensures the safe operation of utility water supply networks of any complexity. This guarantees high quality products, service life and the following advantages:
- Practicality. Included electric ball drives different sizes and sensors are easily complemented with the necessary equipment up to required quantity. Thus, up to 20 additional sensors and 20 electric ball valves can be connected to a standard device, and the length of the cable can be increased to 3 meters and 100 meters. The system supports the installation of hundreds of radio sensors and the operation of a modern GSM alarm system, which immediately notifies the owner of a leak.
- Safety and guarantees. The installation operates on an autonomous battery, from which a voltage of 12 volts is supplied to the electric ball drive. This battery is periodically recharged by passing weak current, so it lasts for a long period of operation without replacement or reinstallation. In addition, the products are sold through official dealers and are provided with a 3-year warranty, during which the device as a whole or its individual elements can be replaced or repaired in the absence of mechanical damage.
- Speed of response. The speed of response of the protection system is somewhat disappointing. Once a leak is detected, the taps will be closed only after 30 seconds.
- Functionality. The device's overlap elements are made of stainless alloy, which allows them to withstand pressures of up to 64 atmospheres. Polyurethane seals are characterized by strength and great durability. The high temperature resistance of the materials allows them to withstand heating up to 220 degrees Celsius. Thus, the locking mechanisms of the system do not deteriorate and practically do not wear out even after 10,000 closings and openings.
High-quality protection against water leaks in an apartment should take into account operational features, because any water supply network inevitably faces the problem of lime deposits, as a result of which the working units of the equipment become sour. This design provides for automatic operation of locking mechanisms, and once every two weeks the taps are turned 5 degrees, thus preventing the accumulation of deposits.
Domestic production - time-tested
The domestic company "Special Systems and Technologies" has been developing and producing protective systems since 2002. Their models differ slightly in technical specifications, so it’s worth noting the most important ones.
The Neptune system controller is programmed to self-clean the system
Thus, the Neptune Basic installation is connected to a voltage of 220 volts, which is unsafe in the event of an accident or failure to comply with installation rules. From this point of view, operating the Neptun power system with a voltage of 12 volts is much safer. The manufacturer also provides for stable operation of the installation. In addition to the autonomous element, the models also have an uninterruptible source, which ensures that the protection operates even when the electricity is turned off. The system has additional advantages:
- Speed of response. The advantages of the system in this matter are obvious: turning off the tap will take no more than 21 seconds, which will undoubtedly save not only from water standing nearby interior items, but will also prevent the floor covering from getting too wet.
- Versatility and efficiency. Models are equipped with two standard sensors, but for reliable protection apartments from water supply and heating leaks, you can add additional sensors to the system. You can also change the length of the wire if the standard 1 meter is not enough.
For the successful operation of the installation, the controller is programmed for periodic self-cleaning of the system, which runs once a month and the shut-off valves operate automatically. This helps prevent the accumulation of deposits on working mechanisms.
Systems purchased from an official dealer are covered by a manufacturer's warranty for a period of 3 years.
Fast and safe
The main advantages of Aquaguard from the Supersystems company are durability and safety. Correct connection of the equipment guarantees its operation for 4 years. In addition, the company took responsibility by confirming a lifetime warranty for unique wired sensors, regardless of the place and time of their purchase.
The safety of the Aquawatch system is ensured by low operating voltage
The safety of this protection system is ensured by its low operating voltage of 5V, which even in emergency situations will not harm the user's health. Shut-off valves made of nickel-plated brass prevent the occurrence of tap water harmful to human body impurities. Additional advantages of the design include the following facts:
- Speed of response. In this regard, this system is a real record holder. When a leak is detected, the taps are closed within 3 seconds! The “smart faucet” technology used analyzes faults at lightning speed and shuts off the water supply.
- Reliability. In the production of products, the company used its own developments aimed at increasing the functionality and durability of mechanisms. A pair of Teflon gaskets and a third, elastic silicone one, provide a minimum of friction and, accordingly, consume a minimum of energy.
- Versatility. The ability to improve and expand the design allows for hassle-free upgrades to wired and wireless systems. This protection easily synchronizes with the smart home system, connects to pumping equipment and to mobile GSM signaling.
The right choice
Having become familiar with technical features systems presented, all that remains is to determine the number additional elements, calculate the optimal length of the wire with the tap, and after purchasing everything you need, ensure professional installation of the entire installation. High-quality protection plumbing systems will prevent leaks and the possibility of flooding of property, and, as a result, will save the owner of a house or apartment from troubles and unforeseen financial expenses.
Today it is impossible to imagine an apartment, house or office without water. But this natural component of comfort can also become a source of great trouble.
Prudent homeowners, aware of the threat and catastrophic consequences of floods, strive to protect themselves from this nuisance. Some people decide to purchase liability insurance so that in the event possible problems receive compensation for damage to property due to a flood. But this is a partial measure, since payments are almost always less than the actual amount of damage and, of course, do not cover all the costs and inconveniences of a moral nature.
The right solution to prevent a flood may be to purchase and install high-quality plumbing and piping. But you shouldn’t rule out their defects, as well as poor-quality installation. Therefore, this measure does not guarantee a 100% absence of problems with water breakthrough and leakage. The result is the same troubles and financial losses, the need to make unscheduled repairs - and not only at home. As for installation, it is almost impossible to prove the guilt of an unprofessional or careless plumber and to recover the amount of damage from him, since most often such work is carried out without any documents or guarantees.
Let’s add the need to be careful and attentive when using plumbing fixtures. This is especially true for older people and families with children.
How to protect your home from a flood? The solution to this problem is leakage protection systems. They completely shut off the water supply to the water supply system in the event of a flood. Every year, leakage protection systems are becoming more and more popular and have every chance of becoming an integral part of every home. But are all the proposed systems equally reliable and easy to use? Let's figure it out.
Leakage protection systems consist of three main elements:
1. leakage sensors,
2. electric ball valves,
3. control unit (controller).
The operating principle of leakage protection systems is simple: sensors installed in all “problem” areas, when water gets on their contact plate, send a signal to the control unit. Having received such a signal, the controller applies voltage to the mechanism that closes the ball valves installed on the hot and cold water supply pipes. The flow of water into the room is completely blocked.
The main manufacturers of protection systems against leaks and floods today are the companies Gidroresurs LLC (Gidrolok system), SST LLC (Neptune system) and Supersystem LLC, manufacturer of the Akvastorozh system. The choice of a specific system is determined by many factors, however, the main ones are safety, reliability and convenience.
The safety of the flood protection system is primarily related to the possibility of injury to a person electric shock 220 Volt. All systems are controlled by electrical signals, and sensors and wires can end up in water at any time, because they are installed in places where leaks are most likely to occur. Therefore, electrical safety of systems is extremely important. It is ensured by using controllers and taps with reduced supply voltage. According to the “Rules for the Construction of Electrical Installations,” a conditionally safe voltage for humans is considered to be a voltage below 12 V, although especially unfavorable conditions and at 12 V, injury is possible.
But a safe voltage can be considered below 6 V. Therefore, when choosing a leakage protection system, you should pay attention special attention on what voltage the system uses to operate. It should be below 12 Volts!
The reliability of a flood protection system is its ability to quickly and effectively respond to leaks and reliably and quickly shut off the water supply. The time from detection of a leak to complete shutdown of the water supply should be minimal. After all, this determines how much water will have time to spill into the room. Reliability indicators also include several more system elements:
- Availability of a backup power source for the system. He is a real guarantor of reliability. If during a flood there is a special RCD device that does not allow short circuit, the electricity went out, or the batteries/accumulator died - as they say, “trouble never comes alone” - that’s exactly backup source power supply will save you in case of leakage.
- The main threat is the so-called “souring” of taps due to the formation of deposits due to hard water. The most common method used to prevent this threat is to regularly automatically “turn” the taps.
- Sensor break monitoring function. Any sensor can be damaged, but if there is a break monitoring function, there is nothing to fear: the sensors are in constant “communication” with the control unit via duplex communication. If the sensor's battery runs out, it comes off or is damaged, the system automatically closes all taps.
- Guarantee. The longer it lasts, the better and more reliable the system.
The convenience of a leakage protection system consists of two main components: ease of installation and ease of operation. It would seem that the subtleties of installation should hardly bother the consumer. But it is the complexity of installation that determines its price and the likelihood of a plumber’s error. Therefore, for ease of installation of the system, it is important to have convenient connectors and ease of assembly of all components.
As for ease of use, the most important indicator here is opportunity and time. battery life. The leakage protection system must be autonomous. The battery life should be at least 1 year, since most people do not have pre-installed sockets where the controller is located, and they need a system that does not require a network connection.
In addition, it is important how clear the system signals are to an untrained user. For example, how is the flood indication organized?
Also now the relevance of the topic is growing “ smart home" Some of the leakage protection systems have the ability to be integrated into a “smart home”, connect a GSM module to send SMS messages about flooding, alarms, pumps, etc. For ordinary non-professional users, the maximum value when purchasing is complete set. This is convenient because you don’t need to buy anything else later and the house is immediately completely protected.
Now let's see how manufacturers of leakage protection systems cope with the requirements placed on them by users.
Let's start with wired systems. Wired systems are systems in which the sensors are connected to the controller using thin wires that are easily hidden between tiles, tiles and baseboards. Wired leakage protection systems consist of taps, a control unit and wired leakage sensors.

Now let's see how wireless systems satisfy our parameters of security, reliability and convenience. Wireless flood protection systems are systems in which sensors are connected to a control unit using a radio signal.
They have most of the characteristics of wired systems (the presence of an uninterruptible power supply, the number of connected taps, sensor circuit open monitoring, indication of a flooded sensor, warranty period, ease of installation and use, etc.). But the most important thing for wireless systems is battery life without connecting to a network.
