Aquaguard WAGS Valve

WAGS Valves from Aquaguard can stop a leaking water heater tank from continuously refilling and dripping or until the tank fails catastrophically. The shut-off valve halts the incoming water supply and, on gas-fired units, shuts off the gas supply to ensure the home’s safety from water heater failure. They are mechanically operated; meaning no maintenance, no electricity or no battery checks are required. They sit in a drip pan under the water heater and are activated when leaking water accumulates to a predetermined level in the pan. Once activated, the industrial-duty, one-shot safety valve shuts off the water and gas supply if so equipped. A red tab pops out to indicate valve activation. 844-438-9247; www.wagsvalve.com

CORRO-PROTEC Anode Rod 

CORRO-PROTEC Anode Rods use a titanium anode and a current rectifier. When connected to the nearest outlet, the rod in the tank supplies a small current into the water heater. This current completely stops the loss of energy from all metals inside the tank, effectively stopping corrosion and preventing leaks. Additionally, a powered anode rod doesn’t require any maintenance or replacement over time, reducing the consumption of materials for sacrificial anode rods and minimizing the environmental impact by decreasing the number of water heaters discarded annually. By using a powered anode rod, homeowners significantly extend their water heater’s life, cut down on waste and save money. 877-466-6660; www.corroprotec.com

FloLogic PinPoint
