RESETTING AND OPENING THE VALVE AFTER A LEAK ALARM
The Water Valve Control will shut the valve on the incoming water main or pipe if a leak detection tape is in contact with water, or
if the No Flow or Continuous Flow set times are exceeded.
3.1 Resetting the system after a leak has been repaired or Continuous Flow limits are exceeded
1. Press the 'WATER OFF' button on the Water Valve Control to mute the alarm – the valve remains closed. If the alarm continues,
and you have a detection tape directly connected to the Water Valve Control, disconnect the tape then press the 'WATER OFF'
button on the Water Valve Control to mute the alarm.
2. Identify where in the property the leak has occurred.
3. If you have wireless leak detector transmitters installed the one that has instigated the alarm will be beeping. If none of the
Transmitters are beeping but you have a leak detection tape or tab directly connected to the Water Valve Control then this is
where the leak is.
4. Repair the leak and dry the leak detection tape. Tapes should be unplugged and dried either naturally, or with a hairdryer on a
medium setting held 1M away from the tape, or on a warm (not hot) radiator.
5. Reposition and reconnect the tape once dry.
6. Press 'WATER ON' on the Water Valve Control to open the valve.
3.2 Resetting the system after a No Flow limit is exceeded
If the valve has closed because the No Flow limit is exceeded press the 'WATER ON' button on the Water Valve Control or wireless
On/Off switch to open the valve and reinstate the water.
3.3 Isolating a leak and turning the water on
Leaksafe recommend you repair all leaks before the mains water is turned back on.
Where a detected leak is from an appliance e.g., a washing machine, and the leak can be contained by not using that appliance, it
is possible to isolate that zone to allow the Leaksafe system to be reset and the water turned back on.
IF LEAK DETECTION IS DISABLED IN ANY PART OF A PROPERTY THAT ZONE IS UNPROTECTED. THE DECISION TO DISABLE
ANY PART OF A LEAKSAFE SYSTEM LIES WITH THE OCCUPIER AND LEAKSAFE ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR
THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT DECISION.
To isolate a zone:
1. Unplug the leak detection tape protecting that zone from the Wireless Transmitter or Water Valve Control.
2. Press 'WATER OFF' on the Water Valve Control.
3. Press 'WATER ON' on the Water Valve Control to open the valve and restore water to the property.
IMPORTANT: When the leak is repaired, REMEMBER TO DRY AND RECONNECT THE LEAK DETECTION TAPES.
