I am ashamed, but working as a plumber, at the beginning of my career I drowned my neighbors, at that time the damage was decent. Since then, I have dreamed of installing an additional automatic protection that blocks the water in case of an accident. But the prices for these devices scared away from their purchase.
And so. It has happened, I have an inexpensive system, by the way, half the price of other analogues, called Cinderella.
I poured myself some tea and started unhurriedly unpacking.
I open the package and voila. We are greeted by good batteries. It's already nice!
The leakage protection packaging looks like this, see the photo below. If you are viewing from a computer, you can click on the picture, it will enlarge and you can familiarize yourself with the information.
And here is the contents of the box:
There are those for this device. passport. You can read it online, here.
As we can see, the kit contains several important components. Let's take a closer look at them. First of all, consider the control unit:
On which there are controls and light indication elements. Removing the back cover we can see the battery compartment. There is a board under the compartment, with very high quality soldered contacts. The feeling that it is being done at a defense enterprise does not leave me... Additional photos by swipe to the right.
Leak sensors look like this:
They have contacts on the reverse side, when wet, the water overlaps.
The solenoid valves are high quality cast bronze.
By the way, the manufacturer of this device has valves made of plastic, they are cheaper than brass ones, which saves money.
I decided to check the operation of the leakage blocker. To do this, he poured water into a saucer and dipped the sensor into it. A beep sounded and a red light blinked. a click was heard. The valve has operated. I was very interested, but not clear yet. How does he work.
Later I will install it on my water supply and tell you how it works. You can see the price of Cinderella on the website: NPP "BIOS"
