The H 2 Orb is an electronic water valve that attaches directly to the water valve behind the toilet. The system is designed with a dual sensing system that will not only eliminate toilet bowl overflows, but will detect any type of water leak. A single float sensor hangs inside the toilet tank and monitors for toilet leaks 24 hours a day. When a leak happens, the H 2 Orb will shut off the water and alert the user of the leak with an audible alarm as will as an icon displayed on the integrated LCD screen. A second sensor can be attached under the toilet seat that senses a potential overflow and shuts off the water supply to the tank. No more water, no possibility of an overflow and no water on the floor.
The American Insurance Institute of America tracks insurance statistics. According to them, the average cost of a single overflow is over $36,000 dollars. A low end overflow costs over $3,600. Where do these cost come from? Start with just drying out the carpet. If you don't get the carpet completely dried out within 24 hours, there is a potential for the growth of toxic mold. Did you also dry the molding in the bathroom? So you need have a large fan and heater. That's just for starters. Those small costs can add up quickly. So even if your overflow doesn't exceed your deductible, it is still going to cost you. Besides, how much would you pay to NEVER clean up after another overflow. We dare you to search Lenny Kravitz and Toilet overflow to see his $1.2 million dollar overflow debacle. (See our Testimonials Section as we document more real stories of overflow horrors.)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The American Water Works Association, The State of Hawaii, The State of Minnesota, and too many more to mention studies all agree that the toilet is the number one water wasting appliance in the US. Here are the statistics: ....... read more
