4. Opsætning og installation

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your Watts IntelliFlow Smart Water Shutoff Valve. For a visual guide, please refer to Video 3.

Før du begynder:

1. Shut off the electrical power supply to the outlet that will be used for the IntelliFlow.
2. Shut off the hot and cold water supply lines to your washing machine.
3. If retrofitting, disconnect the washing machine hoses from the existing shutoff valves.

Installationstrin:

1. Prepare Adapters: Loosen the two adapter nuts and remove both adapters from the IntelliFlow valve body.
2. Install Adapters: Place the adapter nuts over the piping. Solder the adapters onto the piping.
3. Mount Valve Body: Place the O-rings on the adapter grooves. Align and slip the valve body over the adapters.
4. Secure Valve Body: Tighten the adapter nuts, ensuring not to overtighten.
5. Connect Washing Machine Hoses: Connect the washing machine hoses to the IntelliFlow's hot and cold water outlets.
6. Plug in Washing Machine: Plug the washing machine into the IntelliFlow's electrical outlet.
7. Connect Leak Sensor: Plug the floor leak sensor into the designated port on the IntelliFlow unit.
8. Plug in IntelliFlow: Plug the IntelliFlow's power cord into the electrical outlet that was previously turned off. The IntelliFlow requires a 120V, 60Hz, 15A ground fault protected outlet.
9. Genopret strøm og vand: Turn on both hot and cold water supply lines and restore electrical power. Check for any leaks.
10. Register and Connect to Wi-Fi: Scan the QR code on your IntelliFlow, register it online, and connect it to your local Wi-Fi network to enable real-time text and email alerts.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

The Watts IntelliFlow operates automatically to provide continuous protection against washing machine leaks.

Normal drift:

• The IntelliFlow senses when your washing machine is in use by detecting electrical current.
• When the washing machine is active, the IntelliFlow valves open to allow water flow.
• Once the washing machine cycle is complete and no current is detected, the valves will automatically close after a set period (e.g., 15 minutes, depending on the model version).

Leak Detection and Shutoff:

• The floor-mounted leak sensor continuously monitors for the presence of water.
• If water is detected by the sensor, the IntelliFlow immediately shuts off the water supply to the washing machine.
• A leak indicator light on the unit will illuminate (e.g., red) and, if connected to Wi-Fi, you will receive real-time text and email alerts.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Watts IntelliFlow Smart Water Shutoff Valve.

Rutinetjek:

• Visuel inspektion: Periodically inspect the unit, hoses, and leak sensor for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
• Leak Sensor Placement: Ensure the floor-mounted leak sensor remains in its intended position behind the washing machine, free from obstructions.
• Strainer Screen: The unit includes a replaceable internal strainer screen. Check and clean this screen periodically to prevent debris buildup that could affect water flow. Refer to the full user manual for instructions on accessing and cleaning the strainer.
• Funktionstest: Occasionally test the leak detection by placing a small amount of water near the sensor to ensure it triggers the shutoff mechanism and alerts.

7. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Watts IntelliFlow, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps. For more complex problems, consult the full user manual or contact Watts customer support.

Almindelige problemer og løsninger:

• Valve Not Opening/Closing Properly or Low Flow:
  • Ensure the unit is receiving adequate power.
  • Check for any obstructions in the water lines or within the unit's strainer screen.
  • Verify that the washing machine is properly plugged into the IntelliFlow's outlet and drawing current during operation.
  • If the valve is stuck or providing low flow, it may indicate an internal mechanical issue.
• No Wi-Fi Connection or Alerts:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and the IntelliFlow is within range.
  • Verify that the IntelliFlow is correctly registered online and connected to your Wi-Fi network as per the setup instructions.
  • Check your email spam folder and text message settings for alerts.
  • Note that the system relies on Watts' servers for alerts; ensure internet connectivity.
• Indicator Light Discrepancies (e.g., Yellow vs. Orange):
  • Newer models may use different colored indicator lights (e.g., orange instead of yellow) for certain statuses. Refer to the latest version of the user manual for accurate light interpretations.
  • If a light remains on after the washer turns off, it might be due to an internal timer (e.g., 15 minutes) before the valve fully closes.
• Resetting the IntelliFlow Valve:
  • During startup or troubleshooting, the IntelliFlow valve can be reset to the OFF condition by unplugging and reinstalling the leak sensor.
