What is a swirl sediment filter? How does it work?
A cyclone water purifier is a reusable and easy-to-maintain sediment filter that is capable of removing large particles of impurities from water. It is often used as the first step in a filtration system to extend the life of subsequent filter elements by removing coarse particulate sediment.
While 50 microns is the most commonly used standard size, you can choose from different micron sizes depending on your needs. If your water contains a large amount of large particles, it is recommended to choose a larger micron-sized filter in the initial cyclone filter. The larger micron size filter prevents the swirl filter from clogging quickly, resulting in a smoother experience.
Are sedimentation filters worth buying?
If your tap water is prone to sand, rust, or other particulate matter, it may be worth adding a sediment filter to your home's water system. Whole-house swirl sediment filters have many advantages,
Durability and reusability
Inexpensive filter cartridges that can be easily replaced if necessary.
Filter large particulate matter in the water
Protect your water softeners, household appliances, and plumbing systems from sediment damage
Prevents ordinary filter cartridges from becoming clogged with large sediments.
Reduces the burde
Comparison of impeller hall technology and ultrasonic detection technology
Ultrasonic detection technology has a long service life, and the water flow can pass through without a group of resistance, and there is no pressure loss and is not affected by poor water quality. Ultrasonic technology has a large range ratio, through the principle of ultrasonic reflection, from 2 liters/h (micro-leakage-4 tons/h (burst) flow abnormality can accurately capture the impeller type Hall technology has a short life, through the water flow drives the gear for measurement, the water flow resistance causes pressure loss, and will also be affected by poor water quality, and cannot respond to micro-leakage and pipe burst in time

About smart water monitor & shutoff
Why Choose Smart Water Quality Detectors?
It can protect the water safety of your home 24 hours a day, whether it is a micro leak or a burst pipe, it will notify you at the first time, and determine whether the valve needs to be closed to ensure the safety of your home property.
Do I need a plumber to install the AIWSH valve?
It’s designed for easy installation. Most homeowners can install it themselves, as it comes with all the necessary components and instructions. However, ensure the installation complies with local building codes, or you can hire a professional plumber if you prefer.
What is the maximum range between the sensors and the control valve?
The AIWSH sensors have a maximum transmission range of up to 200 feet (clear line of sight). The actual and effective working range is usually less than this maximum and will vary from installation to installation. A sensor signal repeater is available to bridge transmission gaps as needed. Property owners should periodically test sensors with water to ensure proper placement, power supply, and communication with the AIWSH valve.
Does AIWSH help me qualify for a discount on my homeowner’s insurance premiums?
AIWSH helps to effectively reduce the catastrophic damage caused by common plumbing leaks. This greatly reduces the chance of needing to make one of the most common types of home insurance claims – internal water damage loss. Contact your insurance agent directly to see if they offer discounts for emergency automatic water shut-off systems or security system enhancements such as the AIWSH system.
What happens to the during a power outage?
The AIWSH valves will remain in the position prior to loss of power and retain that position when power is restored. AIWSH is equipped with a safety feature that will close the valve once power is restored after an outage and display a safe mode message. This feature can be disabled so the valve will remain in position prior to loss of power.
How can I turn off my water supply manually using the AIWSH?
You could use the control buttons on the face of the AIWSH control valve/Control Panel or you could use the existing manual shut-off valve to turn off your water for needed repairs. Our water control wall switch allows you to turn off your water from a convenient location with just the push of a button and is great for Classic controls valves located in crawl spaces or basements.
For remote open/close control of the water supply use the AIWSH SmartConnect(AWS-Q20 only). This device, when properly configured, will allow remote control through an app where you can also set up text and/or email notifications for real-time alerts from your AIWSH system. A smartphone or tablet is required with a 2.4 GHz enabled network at the property.
How long will the batteries in my sensors last?
A pair of standard AA alkaline batteries and AAA alkaline batteries could operate a sensor for about 3-5 years, assuming the system was never tripped by a leak. The sensor will sound a low battery warning before to the batteries going completely dead.
AIWSH sensors will send a signal to the Control Panel before going completely dead, close the valve, and display what sensor is dead on the Control Panel, indicating a sensor is no longer functioning. A/C adapters are available for added convenience.
Batteries should be tested every year. Fresh batteries should be installed in any sensor that has detected a water leak and activated the system. After responding to a leak event please ensure that the sensor is and its installation location are completely dry prior to replacing the batteries and reinstalling the sensor.
Property owners or installers should periodically test sensors with water to ensure proper placement, power supply and communication with the AIWSH valve.
Does the AIWSH protect against frozen or burst pipes?
Although the AIWSH system cannot prevent your pipes from freezing, optional temperature sensors can shut off your water in the event the temperature near/on indoor pipes equipped with these sensors drops below a preset temperature. AIWSH wireless sensors all have ambient temperature sensing built in to detect low air temperature in the area. The trip point is approximately 34˚ F.
Can the AIWSH system be installed outdoors?
Yes, all smart water monitor & shutoff can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
Where should I install the AIWSH control valve?
The AIWSH control valve is designed to be installed on the main incoming water line. The valve should be fitted upstream from where the water system begins to branch off to other appliances and downstream from pressure regulators and water meters. It is also important to mount the valve so that the property owner has ready access to the face of the AIWSH actuator (or Control Panel) to be able to reset the system in the event it has been tripped. Additionally, the valve should be fitted into a location on the main line so that it does not interfere with flow to fire suppression and irrigation systems. Property owners should periodically cycle the valve (close/open) to help prevent possible water deposit build-up and ensure proper operation.
How much water must be present for a flood sensor to sense a leak?
It takes only a few ounces of water contacting the sensor to activate the valve. The sensor must be properly placed in an advantageous location to detect leaks and puddling at the earliest possible stages of a leak event. Please refer to the limitations of the system and the Owner/Installation Manual for sensor placement instructions and suggestions.
