I'm re-doing my laundry room and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with
"Flood Saver" washing machine drain pan?

http://www.floodsaver.com/

I had thought about simply installing a shower pan - it would be cheaper -
but this is specifically designed for laundry rooms. One of the things I
found most interesting is their method of preventing the P-trap from drying
out - use vegetable oil in the P-trap instead of water - it won't evaporate.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

The floodstopper sensors here http://www.smartsensortechnologies.com
are more useful - they will shut off the water if there's a problem,
so there's no worry about your pan overflowing. Which can happen if
you're away for the day or weekend... I know from experience
Also, they provide whole room protection - say if you've got a water
heater and other appliances in the same room that can leak in addition
to your washing machine.

Hope this helps.

Dave
