What is Water Off Exactly?

Water Off is a people-friendly, easy-to-use system engineered to be easily installed. The system includes an electrically-actuated valve, a control box and a sending unit. That's it. A plumber installs the valve onto your water pipe at the point where the water enters your home. A small wire is run to a control box which is mounted near a standard electrical outlet. Then anywhere in your home you simply plug the sending unit into a standard electrical outlet. When you flip the switch down the valve closes which turns the water off. To turn the water back on you merely flip the switch up. Off. On. It's that easy.
