The aquaHALT Flip is a battery-operated automatic shut-off valve that installs onto the bottom of the toilet tank fill valve rather than onto the wall. It runs on 2 AA batteries for up to 5 years, uses one 3/8" water supply hose, and shuts the water off at the toilet when the leak sensor on the floor gets wet.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Application | Toilet supply line, mounted on the toilet itself |
| Mounting | Installs firmly onto the bottom of the toilet tank fill valve. It does not mount to the wall. |
| Water connections | One 3/8" water supply hose. The existing hose is unscrewed from the wall valve and from the bottom of the tank and removed completely; the included 3/8" x 3/8" hose then runs from the wall supply valve to the device. |
| Fitting size | Designed for a 3/8" hose. A toilet with a 1/2" hose connector needs an adapter, which is not supplied. |
| Power | 2 x AA batteries, included |
| Battery life | Up to 5 years |
| Battery indication | 3 LEDs blink = full power, working normally. 2 LEDs blink = reminder to change the batteries, still working normally. 1 LED blinks = low power. |
| Alert | An audible alert sounds when the sensor detects water or the battery is low. The manual's instruction is to press "close", then change the batteries and dry off the sensor. |
| Controls | POWER button (hold 3 seconds to turn on), plus "open" and "close" buttons |
| Sensor | Hardwired leak detection sensor on a cable, plugged into the sensor connection port on the bottom of the unit |
| Sensor placement | The sensor must touch the flooring to detect water. It can go on the bottom rear wall behind the toilet, or on the bottom of the toilet near the base. The housing has an adhesive pad that mounts to any surface, and the sensor can be removed for cleaning or replacement. |
| Connectivity | None. The device is hardwired and battery operated, with no wireless communication. |
| Water exposure | Must not be submersed or installed under water |
| Restoring the water | Dry the sensor, then press "open" to supply water again |
| Removal | Turn off the wall supply valve, flush the toilet to drain the tank, then remove the hoses |
