  • Page 2: Introduction And How It Works

    AquaTrip cannot prevent leaks occurring, but it may alert you to the existence of a leak once the Flow Time has been exceeded. It is up to you to program these Flow Times to a duration which will suit your normal water usage. It is best to start with shorter times, as the system will then be able to indicate a leak or inadvertent use as quickly as possible after it occurs.

  • Page 3: Installation Preparation And Warning Precautions

    2. Installation Preparation and Warning Precautions - READ CAREFULLY This Leak Detection System must be installed by a licensed plumber according to Local Government Building, Plumbing and Water Utility Supply regulations.
