DOMESTIC WATER LEAK DETECTION – Type Water Leak Watch (WLW)

How Water Leak Watch Works: Advanced Features for Effective Water Damage Prevention

The Domestic Water Leak Detection – Type WLW is an effective alarm that will protect your home from water damage. By continuously monitoring the flow of water entering your building, it quickly detects any unusual patterns. Upon detection, the system promptly raises an alarm and automatically shuts off the water supply. This proactive approach minimizes the extent of damage to your building and its contents, providing you with peace of mind.

As well as monitoring the incoming water flow rate, the WLW offers you the option to include a water detection cable or spot probe to the Alarm. This will provide additional water leak monitoring to high-risk areas such as beneath a shower or cold water tank.

Application of Domestic Water Leak Detection: Water Leak Watch

The Water Leak Watch (WLW) offers reliable protection for residential houses and apartments. It guards against water leaks, burst pipes, and excessive garden hose usage. It can be used with shut-off valves of sizes 3/4″ (22mm) and 1″ (25mm). Explore our article highlighting the Benefits of Actuated Ball Valves for more in-depth information.

Designed to meet BREEAM requirements

The WLW panel will help you achieve BREEAM credits. It is cable of automatically detecting the presence of a leak throughout a building’s water supply. Once an abnormal high flow rate is detected an alarm will be raised. When a BREEAM assessor conducts a successful evaluation, our Water Leak Detection Systems will assist you in earning the following WAT credits:

EXISTING (in-use) buildings: WAT01 (water monitoring); WAT07 (leak detection system) and WAT08 (leak prevention)

NEW Construction buildings: WAT02 (water montoring) and WAT03 (water leak detection)

For monitoring any larger incoming water supplies we would recommend our BREEAM Water Leak Alarm – Type BLDA1-2

Advantages of using the Water Leak Watch: Effortless Leak Identification

Effortless Leak Identification

The Water Leak Watch monitors the incoming water supply all the time. When an unusual flow pattern has been identified a clear alarm allows you to take immediate action. Helping you to identify leaks at their early stages,. Enabling you to prevent extensive water damage.

Holiday Mode

This feature allows you to reduce the water flow to your property to 1L/hour. This is useful when you go on holiday or leave your property for extended absences. This feature will minimise the risk of a water leak, but still allow your water heating tank to ‘top’ itself up.

Sleep Mode

This allows you to temporarily suspend monitoring of the water supply for up to 8 hours. This enables you to engage in activities that require a lot of water. For example: filling a paddling pool or using a garden sprinkler.

Auto Set-up

This option enables you to enter the Alarm Panel into ‘Auto Set Up’. This feature enables the Leak Detector to automatically adjust to your water usage. This means that you do not have to manually set the ‘Current Flow’ trip point. In Auto Set-up mode, the panel automatically adjusts the Alarm Trip Point depending on your previous weekly water usage.
