FlowStop® 2 protects against the costly consequences of water damage from internal leaks and floods.
UK insurers pay out around £1.8 million every day to customers making escape of water (EOW) claims on their buildings and home contents insurance. Nearly one in five claims is for damage caused by leaks with many in the winter months due to frozen pipes that have burst.

Sustainable, cost-effective and NSF REG4 approved , Andel FlowStop® 2 automatically isolates your water supply in the event of abnormal flow activity or the risk of freezing pipes. FlowStop® 2 can be installed in new builds and retrofitted into existing and occupied buildings.
FlowStop® consists of a control unit and a valve unit, which includes an integrated latching solenoid valve and a flow rate sensor. It actively monitors the water supply to a property, helping to detect and prevent leaks.

When a property is empty
FlowStop® 2 isolates the water supply if no water is used for a pre-set period set by the user, automatically covering for periods when a property is temporarily vacated. This is useful for preventing leaks in empty properties going unchecked with potentially serious consequences.
Option to add leak detection sensors
There is also an option to add water leak detection sensors such as Andel’s FlexiPad, leak detection cable and tape for more localised monitoring in critical areas such as kitchens, utility rooms, bathrooms, showers and WCs.
Mute and reset
When the system goes into alarm, audible alarms can be silenced by pressing the mute button. When the problem has been checked and resolved, the system can be reset by holding the mute button for three seconds and the water supply will start to flow again.
