Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need a plumber to install The Toilet Overflow Alarm & Control Valve? Though some people would be more comfortable having a plumber install it, installation is actually quite easy – any handyman (or handywoman) can install it. All you do is turn off the water (by turning the valve knob) and follow the directions. Installation typically takes only about 15 minutes.
What happens when an overflow is sensed? If the water in the bowl rises high enough to touch the sensor, the motorized valve is triggered and turns off the water supply to the toilet tank. The beeping alarm will then sound for 60 seconds. To turn the water back on and refill the tank -- press the "Open Valve" button, you'll hear the motorized valve turn and the water begin to fill the tank.
How loud is the alarm? The alarm is 79 Db – loud enough for most people to hear from outside of the bathroom.
How long does the water remain turned off? In the event of a detected overflow, the water supply remains turned off with the red light flashing until it is reset.
How do I turn the water back on? Just press the "Open Valve" button on the Main Control.
