About the product

Elotec HydroClip is a bracket with a water leak detection strip, attached to the LeaksProtect Jeweller detector. The detector senses water, and HydroClip expands the detection area with a 9.8-foot leakage strip. The product is designed for large spaces where a single detection point may not be sufficient. For example, HydroClip is ideal for use near kitchen islands, water heaters or refrigeration units, in boiler rooms, restrooms, server rooms with cooling systems, and other large, leak-prone spaces.

The installation process is quick and simple. First, the bracket is mounted on a wall, cabinet side, or another suitable surface, and LeaksProtect Jeweller is easily fitted inside with a 'click.' The bracket has a 3.5 mm jack for plugging in the leakage strip, which is then attached to the floor in the areas of potential leakage. If needed, the included 9.8-foot long strip can be cut to the desired length. There is also an alternative sensor cable available for connecting longer, heavy-duty strips.

The solution works by linking the detector to the leakage strip. If any part of the strip comes into contact with water, it sends a signal to LeaksProtect Jeweller, triggering an alarm. Similarly, if the strip gets disconnected while the detector is still in the bracket, an alarm will go off. This is a safety measure to ensure the solution remains operational and can reliably detect actual leaks.

HydroClip is a simple yet effective way to scale leak detection. It covers larger areas with fewer detectors, making maintenance easier and saving installers time. The core of the solution, LeaksProtect Jeweller, is compatible with any Ajax hub. For even more protection, it can be paired with the Ajax WaterStop Jeweller shutoff valve. This combination enables not just leak detection, but also smart water supply control. When a scenario is activated, the system automatically cuts off the water supply in 7 seconds, helping to minimize damage and avoid costly repairs.
