stand alone leak detector?

[FishPersonFL]

Hi
What is a great stand alone leak detector. To sense water on the floor and shut off the water flow? I have one but it's not working now. I just had a flood last night in my sleep. At least I was home. Oring on new housing was a bad fit. I oddly have two on off valves to my RO DI because how I reconfigured my system last night (wrongly). I know none are fool proof (detectors) but I know where the flow of water will tend to is where the detector will be.
TIA!

I use these:


They won't shut off the water flow, but they will alert you to a problem for a low cost.

For an automatic shut-off, I think you would need a dedicated system, I don't know of any that will do that though.....

Here's one offered now: https://www.freshwatersystems.com/products/ldsv-leak-protector-and-shut-off-valve
here's the one I have.. I'm going to try to see if it works. I am not sure it's non functional, it may be just batteries. It worked really well when I had it set up (easy) correct. It's been discontinued: https://www.freshwatersystems.com/products/lcs-14-leak-controller-water-shut-off-system-1-4-tubing
