ActivStopLeak detects micro flows as low as 0.1l per hour. According ot the company, this is a significant improvement over existing products that detect flows from 5l per hour at best, and at worst, 120l per hour.
Activ-Tec thinks that this sensitivity not only positions ActivStopLeak as a leader in the field but also as a critical tool in significantly reducing annual water bills, capable of identifying the most elusive leaks. For example, a leaking WC cistern can be invisible to the eye, but can waste over 8,000l of water a year. A dripping tap can waste around 31,500l of water per year.
The system's intelligent control learns normal water usage patterns to identify leaks or burst pipes early. Upon detecting a potential major leak, ActivStopLeak promptly shuts off the water supply. This mitigates the risk of flooding and associated damage, including electrical hazards, compromised structural integrity, and the potential for mould and mildew growth.
ActivStopLeak further empowers users with a comprehensive app for real-time monitoring and control from a smartphone. Users receive alerts for detected leaks and can remotely shut off or restore the water supply. This feature is especially useful for managing unusual water usage situations, such as watering the garden.
The app also allows for temporary resets in case of minor leaks, keeping the system functional while awaiting repairs. An optional wall-mounted control panel provides a visual status of the water system, allowing users to instantly spot any issues.
ActivStopLeak meets the requirements of CIREG Section 6 for Managing Escape of Water Risk on construction sites, and achieves BREEAM's Category WAT 03 Water Leak Detection credit point targets.
Stuart Gizzi, Director at Activ-Tec, highlights the product's significance: “ActivStopLeak is not just about detecting leaks; it's about proactively preventing the extensive damage and costly repairs that can result from flooding. Its advanced technology can detect even the slightest anomalies in water flow, offering a vital line of defence against severe water damage and costly bills.”
