KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Blu Technology today announced the launch of WATERSTOP, a digital automatic water shut-off system with leak detection designed to help protect RVs from water damage, according to a press release.
Company officials said WATERSTOP connects directly to any standard ¾” GHT RV water hose without the need for much labor. Once installed, the system continuously monitors water flow and wirelessly communicates with up to seven leak sensors placed in high-risk areas such as under the sink, near the toilet or in the utility bay. The moment a sensor detects moisture or the system identifies abnormal flow, WATERSTOP automatically closes the water shut-off valve and sends an instant alert to the owner’s smartphone through the Blu Onyx app.
“A slow drip, unnoticed for even a few days, can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage to an RV,” said Blue Technology President Corbin Collet.“WATERSTOP was engineered to help ensure that doesn’t happen, whether you’re at the campground or hours down the road.”
Key features of WATERSTOP include:
- Automatic water shut-off valve activates when leak is detected
- Blu Onyx app for mobile communication and control
- Receive water shut-off notification as leaks occur
- Turn water on/off manually as needed (possible via app and local, wireless remote control)
- Monitor RV water filtration system filter life and receive maintenance reminders
- Track water usage, flow rate and consumption time
- Pairs with up to seven RV wireless leak sensors
- Quick install with no tools needed
The companion Blu Onyx app is available for iOS and Android, and gives RV owners visibility into their water system. Users can open or close the valve remotely, review water usage and receive maintenance reminders when filtration filters approach end-of-life. A dedicated local, wireless remote control also provides valve operation within a 32–98 foot range for campsite convenience.
Later this spring, Blu Technology will announce its collaboration with GasStop, a recognized name in RV and outdoor gas safety, joining forces to bring safety systems and RV owners’ peace of mind to the forefront.
