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 AREA IS UNPROTECTED AND THE SYSTEM WILL NOT
ALARM OR SHUT THE WATER OFF IF ANOTHER LEAK OCCURS IN THAT AREA.
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 TABS OR TAPES IN THAT AREA.
3.2: Resetting the system after the Continuous Flow limit is exceeded
1. Press the “WATER OFF” button on the Water Valve Control it will beep once and mute the alarm – the valve remains closed.
2. Press “WATER ON” on the Water Valve Control to open the valve.
4. ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE – PLEASE READ THIS SECTION
4.1: Test procedures:
Leaksafe recommend that you test your system every 6 months and always before you leave a property for a period of time.
1. Turn the water off using the wireless on/off switch. Check the water is off by opening a tap. Turn the tap off, turn the water
back on and check that the water is now running. If you do not have a wireless on/off switch installed, perform this test by
pressing the “WATER OFF” and “WATER ON” buttons on the Water Valve Control.
2. If you have wireless leak detector transmitters and leak detection tape installed, unplug the tape from the transmitter and plug
in the test cable supplied. Touch the metal pins together and check the valve closes and the system alarms. Reinstate the leak
detection tape and reset the Water Valve Control (See Section 3). Repeat for each transmitter you have installed.
3.4: Manual override on the Motorised Valve
To manually operate the valve, lift and turn the operating
button. When the valve is open the red line in the valve
status window is parallel to the water pipe and at right
angles when closed. Push the operating button down
again when you have finished turning the valve.
