Flowban™ will automatically
shut off the faucets if you don't

the simple to use mechanical anti-overflow system that doesn't waste water or energy

Previously exhibited at:

Flowban™ is a magnetically operated (non electrical) device which senses the water level in a bath and shuts off the faucets automatically to prevent flooding and water & energy wastage instantly.

Each year a vast number of properties suffer flooding from faucets being left on. They are often simply forgotten, occasionally by children or a forgetful relative, or caused by vandals with the intention to flood.

It is estimated that hoteliers and their insurers in the USA pay out in excess of 2Bn Dollars every year resulting from guests leaving the faucets running and causing a flood.

Even with insurance, the damage caused can be devastating. A waterlogged ceiling falling in damages everything below it.

The chief Engineer at London's Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane says"Installing these is an insurance policy. It's not uncommon for a guest to leave the bath running and perhaps take a phone call or watch TV, only to find there is water all over the floor."

And recently (Sept 09) this request was received, ‘Please could you tell me my nearest supplier of this or if I can order online? I have a 17 year old son who has overflowed my bath twice and this would put my mind at rest and save me the cost of another kitchen ceiling!!’

Utilising powerful rare earth magnets, there is no need for any electrical supply or batteries. In fact there is zero maintainance at all, just fit & forget!

Flowban™'s slim design enables fitting behind virtually any bath. Flowban can be configured to fit most bath and faucet plumbing arrangements and should be easily installed by any competent plumber.

Using John Guest push-in pipe connections, installation is simple, there is no need for struggling in a confined space with spanners etc. Simply push the pipes into the connectors and they are held securely and watertight.

STOPS TUBS AND BASINS FLOODING

Faucets left running can cause floods. Flowban™ turns off the water to the faucets before a flood can happen.

SAVES WATER AND ENERGY

Water allowed to go down an overflow of a bath tub or basin is wasted water and so is the energy used to heat it.

HOTELS - RESORTS - CASINOS

Guests can be forgetful - or even malicious. Flooded bathrooms mean lost revenue as well as costly repairs

HIGH RISE APARTMENTS

Flood damage from bath tubs and basins, left unattended can extend down many floors. It can also cause structual defects.

ASSISTED LIVING

Basin faucets may be left running. Flowban™ helps those who can forget.

MECHANICAL FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

Flowban™ is entirely mechanical. No electrical or battery supply is required.

AUTOMATIC RESET

Resetting is intuitive - Just turn off the faucets.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

Flowban™ uses simple pushfit connections and can be retro-fitted.
