Water damage accounts for over 70% of residential insurance claims in the United Kingdom. Easy to install and inexpensive, the SureStop water switch could be your secret weapon to help you avoid adding to those statistics.
There are probably three occasions when you think about using your mains stopcock: When you are having plumbing work carried out, when you are about to go on holiday ... or when there is a leak.
In the case of the first example it can be frustrating to find that the stopcock has jammed; in the second case, if you are about to go on holiday do you really want to scrabble under the sink - only to find that you can’t turn it off anyway? And in the third example, if there is a leak you know that saving vital seconds in turning off the water supply can prevent a major catastrophe.
So there are three very good reasons to install a SureStop water switch. As its name suggests, it makes turning your mains water supply on and off as simple as flicking a switch - and it works entirely off water pressure, so no electricity is involved.
The SureStop is easy to install - well within the capabilities of an average DIYer (if that’s the correct terminology), and an inexpensive job for a reputable plumber, and can be located up to 8 metres away from the stopcock, meaning that you can put it where it is easy to reach. The design is simple, reliable and attractive: You can’t use it too often (it has been tested for 200,000 operations), the design means that lime scale build up inside is avoided and its smart plastic case does not look out of place in a kitchen or bathroom. |
