  • Page 2 Congratulations on installing the most advanced system available to protect Homeowners against catastrophic loss due to water damage. The Leak Defense System monitors the flow of water into your home 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Should a leak develop, the system will alarm, and, if the leak is not corrected, will automatically halt all water flow to the home before additional damage can occur.
  • Page 3 INSTALLER After installation, review Leak Defense System operation with the owner Using pages 32-37 of the Owner’s Manual section as a guide: a. Explain the system and use the control panel to demonstrate the various Leak Defense System functions. b. Encourage the owner to physically interact with the control panel during your demonstration. This will promote a level of comfort and usability.
