Water leak detectors with valve with built-in control unit

Valve with control unit

— models in which the control unit is built directly into the ball valve responsible for shutting off the water. Accordingly, if there are several valves in the kit, then each is equipped with its own control unit.

Such a design allows for a reduction in the dimensions of the system and the total number of components in it, and, as a result, significantly simplifies installation: there is no need to look for a place to install a separate control unit and pull wires to it. On the other hand, the built-in control unit is usually only responsible for its own valve and does not allow additional ones to be connected. So it makes sense to pay attention to this option mainly in three cases: either if you need to cover only one point of water supply, if compactness and the minimum number of components are crucial, or if there are difficulties with installing a remote control unit.
