Watts Introduces Flood Sensor Technology for Backflow Preventers

Integrated flood sensor technology is now standard on all large diameter (2-1/2 inch to 10 inch) Watts 909 backflow preventers. Flood sensors can be easily activated with add-on cellular or building management kits. Sensors are designed to detect discharge from the RPZ backflow’s relief valve, so action can be taken to prevent flooding.

Customers can receive multichannel alerts via email, text and phone call using optional activation kits. Activation kits include options for connecting to the building management system or connecting through the cellular gateway, utilizing Watts’ cloud-based platform. Customers can upgrade existing 909 valves already installed with the new technology using upgrade kits.
