How to protect the house from flood Bashny.Net

The lucky owners of so-called comfortable homes and apartments often do not take into account the possibility of unpleasant problems that arise where they are not normally expected. It will be about the leaks. Their causes are very simple and, unfortunately, very common. The consequences usually involve the difficult proceedings with flooded neighbors and significant unplanned expenditure. Moreover, if water enters the electrical network, there is also the danger of electric shock. To solve all these problems in only one way: correctly select and install a water leak sensor.

Smart system, protecting the house from the flood, have simple construction. Their composition must include the following three major units: valves, control block and responsive to multiple water sensors. The task of valves is to shut off the water pipes, when the pulse from the control unit. It can be various solenoid or electromagnetic valve, which cuts directly into the trunk. Each such item consists of the solenoid valve and the indirect or direct action. The control section of the node must be located on the upper part of the pipe, and before him must be mounted in a mechanical filter, only in this case the valve will operate smoothly.





Some "artisans" is recommended to install a solenoid or electromagnetic valve in place of manual valve. In this case, in an emergency water will be blocked throughout the riser, which is not always convenient. For installation as shut-off valves it is best to choose the valves, which operate from the mains with voltage of 12V, they are more safe. However, you can install items with a standard power supply to 220V. You need to understand that the control system leaks need to be permanently connected to the power supply, but it will not lead to large additional power consumption. In the open state, the valves do not use electricity, in a closed spending of the order of 8W.

The main element of the system, the leak sensor, they are usually connected few. They react to the appearance of water and transmit a signal to the control unit. Elements can be mounted directly to the floor or placed on its surface in places where there is a potential risk of leaks. If the elements are properly mounted, they won't respond to wet cleaning or spray. The sensor is triggered only in the case when the water rises high enough to close the contact plate. To maintain the system in working condition is very important not only proper installation of the detectors, but also clean the contact plates.





Once in two or three months, they must be cleaned with a soft cloth from the oxides, dust and grease. If necessary, allowed the use of light solvents. With the same frequency should monitor the cleanliness of filters, installed before the valves on the water pipes. Brain control is a leakage control unit, which receives signals from sensors, which recorded the presence of water. Having received such a signal, the device immediately covers the valves, and then notifies the others about the emergency. It may be a sound signal or a text message. Depending on the type and model of control unit, you can connect from one to several tens of detectors.

You can find two varieties of water leaks sensors: wired and wireless. First suggest the presence of wiring between control unit and sensor. An advantage of such devices can be considered a relatively small cost and no need to use additional power sources. The disadvantages include the need to mount the sensitive sensors in the floor and the presence of the wires that need to hide. Wireless devices do not have these disadvantages. They can be placed virtually anywhere within range of the transmitter, no wiring is required.





By the "minus" models include the need to monitor the health of your batteries, change them about once a year. In addition, the cost of wireless devices is much higher than the wired counterparts.

The scope of control systems leakage is very wide. They are used not only to detect the appearance of water in the bathroom, but to alert about the accident in a hot water heating system to prevent the flooding of cellars and basements in areas with high groundwater. The system can be used in homes located in areas with a high probability of flooding during the floods.





System leakage monitoring is a useful invention that will find its place in every home. The man is arranged so that rarely thinks about emergencies that so often begins to take preventive action only after he has to survive the destructive for their own and other ownership consequences of "natural disasters". This is fundamentally not the right approach. The sensor leaks will prevent a flood and maintain a family budget a substantial sum, which would go on liquidation of consequences of own house repairs in the apartment flooded neighbors.
