    Weekly Product Gallery: Flood control

    Feb. 27, 2018
    This week we focus on flood control products: a wireless leak protection solution that covers multiple zones; a system for large buildings that shuts off water to the backflow; an electronic motorized brass water ball valve system that can shut off water in five seconds; a unit that seals off water backup caused by overloaded sewers; a detector for water heater and HVAC pans with an audible alarm; and a smart detector for residential water leaks.
