I'm pretty paranoid about a catastrophic leak flooding the house while nobody's home. I use rigid copper for all faucet and toilet connections. (I shutoff the water to the washing machine and dishwasher when not in use.). So, an RO system's plastic tubing and many connections makes me nervous.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a leak detector and shutoff valve? I have 110 volts available under the sink.
I've seen a battery-operated LCS-14 for $60. But, it seems to be a bit lightweight. Product literature says it should only be used for 5 years (that it's not expected to hold up longer than that). I'm not keen on batteries, nor short longevity. I'd like to have something that's sturdier and intended for general appliance use. (I can transition from copper for the valve to plastic tubing for the RO unit.).
Thanks!
