Waterblock, mechanical anti-overflow safety

Waterblock — mechanical anti-overflow safety

The Waterblock is a mechanical anti-overflow safety: a valve that monitors the volume of water passing through it. As soon as the set volume is exceeded — a sign of a leak or a tap left open — the device immediately stops the water flow until manual intervention. Simple, reliable and fully mechanical, with no battery or electricity.

Mechanical operation

The Waterblock is a safety valve fitted on the water supply of an appliance or point of use. The trip volume is set by the model: once this threshold is reached without normal flow interruption, the valve closes. Resetting is done manually (see the reset tool accessory). No maintenance required.

Technical specifications

A simple principle, maximum efficiency

The Waterblock is fitted between the water network and the appliance to protect. In normal operation, water flows freely; as soon as an abnormal volume passes through — slow leak, burst, forgotten tap — the mechanism trips and cuts the flow. This volumetric logic, independent of any electronics for the mechanical versions, ensures reliable intervention even during a power cut or prolonged absence. Protected points are multiplied by fitting one device per at-risk appliance: dishwasher, washing machine, water heater, dispenser, taps.

Why protect your installation against water damage?

Water damage is among the most frequent and costly domestic and professional claims: faulty plumbing, appliance leaks, pipe bursts from frost, bathroom overflows. An undetected leak damages floors, walls and equipment and wastes considerable water. By cutting the supply as soon as an anomaly occurs, the Waterblock limits damage, reduces the water bill and protects premises — independently of any human control.

Fields of application

Optimal solution to protect workplaces and public venues with water connections: hotels, restaurants, offices, airports and stations, gyms and fitness centres, irrigation zones, campsites, as well as coffee and drink dispensers, vending machines, ice makers and water-treatment systems. A modest investment against the cost of an avoided claim.

Installation & maintenance

Simple installation, without equipment or professional assistance: the device connects directly to the water pipe (threaded connection), with no special assembly tool. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally. No maintenance required. After a trip, return to service is done with the re-arm lever (or the dedicated reset tool), in a few seconds and without shutting off the main installation.

The Waterblock range

Waterblock (Eltek group) offers a complete range of leak and flood protection: the mechanical Waterblock for simple, self-contained safety, the anti-scale version combining leak protection and magnetic descaling, the connected E-Waterblock with Bluetooth app and consumption history, and the reset tool for quick re-arming. All share the same principle: cutting water at the source as soon as an anomaly is detected.

Reliability and peace of mind

Designed to run autonomously for years, the Waterblock offers total reliability and zero maintenance. Whether at home, in the office or on a professional water-treatment installation, it watches continuously and intervenes without delay in case of a leak, sparing you the stress, cost and disruption of water damage. A simple, effective solution that also contributes to sustainability by minimising water waste.
