Washing Machine Floodstop - Gotta love this gadget. How many times did something get stuck in the drain and the washing machine flooded leaving a big mess (at least) and sometimes even water damage.

he floodstop automatically shuts off the water supply to the washing machine and sounds an alarm when a few drops of water make contact with the water sensor. Whether caused by a burst hose, or an overflowing washing machine the Floodstop will automatically close the valves and shut off the water supply.
