WATERBLOCK The mechanical anti-flooding device

WATERBLOCK is the first-generation technology developed by ELTEK that blocks water leaks immediately and efficiently prevents environmental damage and excessive water consumption.

 

FOR HOMES, OFFICES, HOTELS AND WELLNESS FACILITIES

How the ELTEK mechanical WATERBLOCK works

WATERBLOCK is a safety valve that monitors water volume between 5 and 50 L (1 and 13 gal). Its main function is to measure the quantity of water, through a specific setting on the device. If the set value is exceeded, WATERBLOCK immediately blocks the water flow until the user manual resets the device. Installing WATERBLOCK on faucet taps protects equipment and appliances, as well prevents any leaks or flooding from happening.

 

FUNCTIONALITY

Benefits & Features

• Mechanical system
• Unlimited lifetime, based on the amount of water measured over time > 300,000 L (> 79,000 gal)
• Minimum flow of 2L/min required for operation

 

INSTALLATION

Quick, easy installation

Turn off the water supply and set the water consumption profile with the key provided. Next, insert the WATERBLOCK between the faucet tap and the device's water inlet. Installation is complete.

The clever solution to flood prevention.

The Water Block valve is an overflow safety device that controls the maximum consumption of water, simply measuring the water volume passing through it. When consumption goes beyond a preset limit, the Water Block activates an internal valve to restrict water flow and to prevent flooding, keeping the surrounding area safe and clean.

Block it before it all runs out.

Saving time usually means saving money. That's even more true when saving time means saving water. And saving you from floods.

How? The Water Block overflow safety device that controls the maximum consumption of water between 5 and 50 liters and any anomaly concerning the normal usage of water in domestic, professional, and commercial environments.

Thanks to advanced technology, the Water Block is clever mechanical device able to measure the volume of water passing through it, without any external energy. If the amount of water goes beyond a preset limit, the Water Block stops the flow to avoid flooding, keeping the surrounding area in a safe condition until a cause can be determined. Otherwise, if the water volume does not exceed the set value, the Water Block will mechanically and automatically reset to restart a new measurement cycle.

Every water pipe controlled by a Water Block becomes a safe checkpoint of water flow, working independently from all appliances linked to the water system.

Water Block is simply located between the appliance input and the water system output, without requiring professional assembly.

It goes with the flow.

WASHING MACHINES, DISH WASHERS, STEAM DRYERS, REFRIGERATORS, ICE MAKERS. Every domestic or professional appliance can work safely when the amount of water needed is constantly monitored by the Water Block without any external action or human supervision.

COMMERCIAL VENDING: COFFEE BREWERS, ICE MACHINES, BEVERAGE DISPENSERS, DRINKING FOUNTAINS. Waterblock is the ideal safety system for those business machines constantly working with water flows.

GARDENING. Waterblock is a clever solution for the gardening activities due to the independent control of water saturation and over extended water use detection.
