Building a new laundry room.  So far, have read on Breaktime forum some older posts for washing machine automatic shutoff valves such as:  

 http://www.watercop.com/

http://www.plumbingsupply.com/floodstopsystems.html

http://www.plumbingsupply.com/washingmachineshutoffvalve.html

 

the first one (watercop) is a really good idea , but pretty expensive, the second and third ones have some lousy reviews elsewhere on the web.

So, do you have any other automatic shutoff valves recommendations ?

The house is on a raised foundation, so I could go the cheasy route and cut a hole in the floor and flood the crawlspace upon hose burst, but not the preferred method.

Since were on the subject, what about those washer machine valve boxes, I want one with water hammer arresters, any recommendations ?

 

thanks!
