WaterCop

Global Security is proud to be a dealer/intstaller of WaterCop products to protect your home or business from water damage.


What is WaterCop?
WaterCop is an automated water valve which closes automatically whenever a waterleak is detected in your home. By placing wireless water sensors inside sink cabinets, near a washing machine or dishwasher, the sensors stand guard waiting to detect any leaking water. Sensors can be placed anywhere there is a potential for a water pipe to break and cause flooding to your home.


From the WaterCop website....
A WaterCop automatic water shut-off system will provide your home with round-the-clock indoor flood protection and works with wired and wireless flood sensors, wall switches, and most home security and home automation systems.

WaterCop offers homeowners many benefits:
  • Added property protection
  • Potential insurance savings (discounts or credits)
  • Integration with home security & automation systems
  • Protects 24 hours a day while you are home or away
  • Conserves water
  • Peace of mind
The WaterCop automatic shutoff valve installs on the main water line near the existing manual shut-off valve. WaterCop flood sensors install near water using appliances and in rooms where running water is present. When leaking water comes in contact with any of the sensors, a wireless signal is immediately broadcast to the WaterCop main valve causing the valve to close. Water flow is quickly cutoff to all areas of the home and any continuous flooding is stopped.
WaterCop offers additional options including:
  • A wall switch for convenient push-button main water control
  • Freeze sensors to help stop damage caused by frozen pipes
  • Easy integration with home security systems
  • Range extending wireless repeaters
Flood damage and losses related to plumbing problems can lead to higher home insurance costs and possibly the loss of affordable coverage altogether. The WaterCop system, when properly installed and maintained offers a proven method to effectively reduce the chance of catastrophic plumbing related flooding.
