I have just learned of the floodsafe line from Watts and wanted to ask if
anyone has any experience with these:

Thanks for your time,

Presumably, the device has a spring loaded stopper that closes when the
water flow in the line exceeds a certain rate. Then the difference in water
pressure across the stopper holds it closed until it is reset.

My experience is that most undersink leaks are of a different type than this
device protects against. However, it might be useful if used to connect a
washing machine if the water supply is left in the turned on position. But
that is not a very good practice in my view.

A solution looking for a problem?
