Sm Description
The WaterCop
®
System is designed to detect leaks in
your plumbing system at predetermined locations, and
automatically shut off the water supply to help effec-
tively reduce the chances of major water damage
associated with a leak.

System Components

The WaterCop
®
System is composed of two basic
parts:
®
• The WaterCop
- A motorized ball valve that
houses a wireless radio receiver which
automatically turns off your water supply when the
WaterHound detects water.
• The WaterHound - A moisture sensor which
houses a wireless radio transmitter which detects
water from a leak or overflow and sends a signal
®
to the WaterCop
to turn off your water supply.

is fully assembled (as it shipped). Failure to do so
could result in personal injury and/or damage to the
unit.

How the System Works

signal to the WaterCop
the water supply to the home. The WaterCop
will remain closed until it is manually reset.
