I just bought this Item from you, and it works great! However, can I use the same item to prevent leak from the water main entry supply?

that's where i put it with one of the sensors in the h/w drip pan and another where i expect there mite be water. i also put2 3/4 chech valves upstreem from the water heater so as the hole house wont drain back onto the floor just the hot water heater. a little overboard but the less cleanup the better. one more thing this valve cycles once a month you probable wont notice unless you are in the shower as i was. so far very satisified.

I believe you are asking whether this device can shut down not only water to a water heater but also from the main water supply. I find it works fine at that latter point. I installed it on the 1 inch line that comes into the house to shut down the water supply in the event that there is a leak while I am away for an extended period.

We have no problem. I think that's a question for your plumber or whoever installed it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes you can use the leak frog. I have not had any leakage since I got my frog so I have to test it every once in a while. Very little water will set it off. I keep them under sinks and the hot water heater. They work great and the sound will wake you up. I recommend them.

I had mine installed by a plumber. It has never leaked. Perhaps one of the hoses leading up to that head is not tightened?

Hi Dr. Campagna. This device is very easy to install, basically just threading the unit onto the feeder pipe, assuming that the pipe is a standard diameter. The unit works very well, no leaks at all.

Hi Austin, I only use the two pieces and have no attachments. Sorry i couldn't help. Try calling the company you bought it from and see if you can return it. My two piece does not leak.

Mine also started to leak. I sent it in for repairs and it has worked fine without any leaks since.

I went to a GOOD (Lots of inventory) Ace hardware store (Not a Lowes or Home Depot) that had all of the adapters. I found all of the fittings to make it work. Home Depot and Lowes only have a small number of fittings that small. One one of the fittings I had to use the white Teflon tape to reduce the leakage -- but it worked fine.

I've never tried putting water in to see if it would leak. I would call the manufacturer and ask them to be sure. Just Google Iris. I've called them before.

I don't think so! The leaks may be coming from improper positioning. I haven't had a problem. Just make sure you have a good connection.

The faucet on both of the InSiknErators that I have owned has never leaked, but look out for the bottom of the main unit within less than 3 years this is what has leaked for me and I had to purchase an entire unit and have it installed. All told ended up costing me $450!!!!

The supply valve that comes with the Watts unit allows you to tap into the existing water supply while providing a means of shutting off the water to the Watts unit. As long as the device you use has the same capabilities it should work OK. There is nothing special about the tap valve supplied with the Watts purifier. My unit is still working great. Glad I bought it. Have fun~

The valve on the one I bought leaked. I would use a sealed battery which is maintenance free and worry free.

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

Not clear to me either. It seems to work fine in any case. Maybe some sort of one way valve built in to prevent leaks off the big tank side?

Yes. That is what I did with mine and it worked well for that purpose. The problem I had with mine was that it began to leak and one day after work I went to take my shower and found the entire contents had dripped out after 5 months of use. I bought another brand ( Toilet Tree item # TTP-TPC-01 ) instead and it has worked well since I bought it in May.

wow - can't imagine where it would leak - I wouldn't use it until I figured it out! I'd check the space where the water is pumped up to - sounds like you should be able to fix it though - good luck
