Already doing it's job
Easy to install in the cold supply line. The sensor quickly noted a small leak in the reducing fitting and shut the valve. The warning sound is unique an soft. Pretty compact control box fit well in my cabinet. Quick delivery in good shape was appreciated as well as the price

Not Quite Sure
This seemed like a great idea. Easy to install. Uses a motor operated ball valve, sensor and control unit and is designed to close the water feed if water is detected where ever you place the sensor. After installation I performed a test and found it could open and close the ball valve. I thought I was set.
Several years later the water heater started leaking, but the unit did not completely close the ball valve. Upon inspection I found the ball was mucked up with some goop (for lack of a better word) that must have come in from the street. The unit tried but didn't have enough power to close the valve. And the company says the ball valve can't be repaired (I'll have to see about that).
So, although this is a great idea and I don't need another flooded basement, my next attempt to use this item will include an in-line filter

Taco Leakbreaker 👍🏼
We've been installing this product for several years now. The only complaint we have is that its super sensitive!! We've spoke to Taco tech support a few times now and we're told to rap the sensor in paper towels and or put it in a unsealed plastic sandwich bag. Until they come up with a better solution.

Would recommend installed on all hot water heaters
Recently had my hot water heater burst flooding my basement with 12 inches of water. Was not aware of this product to after the fact. This product is a layer of protection in case of hot water heater failure. And on a second note my hot water heater burst in year eight under a ten year warranty.

Nice safety control at a great price
I found this safety control to be better than expected. It is extremely sensitive a drop of water will set it off. The NC dry contacts are great for use with a gas water heater tied in series with the FVIR NCO switch. This will kill the flame if leak alarm is triggered. This control also has intermittent valve closing to help prevent scale lockup. Closing the valve does not open the NC contacts so it won't interrupt the NCO safety switch.

The product performs as advertised.
I installed the product on the cold water supply to my two hot water tanks--an 80 gallon tempering tank and a 50 gallon hot water heat pump. The product works well as advertised. I wish that the instruction sheet was a little more comprehensive and went into more detail on alternative applications. One shortcoming is that the sensor board is quite small and light weight. Keeping it in a flat position on the floor with the wiring attached to it is difficult.
