INTRODUCTION

Conservation and Control

Water: Our Scarcest Resource and the #1 Cause of Insurance Claims.

Our unique, patented-technology monitors water consumption in two ways; cumulative gallons

used, and consecutive gallons used. Using a Smartphone, tablet, or PC, real time-water usage

monitoring is now possible. This enables conservation through awareness, and helps prevent

unmonitored internal ﬂooding of homes, ofﬁces, and businesses.

CUMULATIVE USAGE: In order to assist with water conservation, the Hydrocom system

displays daily and month-to-date usage, and additional reports are available for the week, year,

or longer. This is accomplished by collecting water usage and displaying it much like mileage on

the odometer in a car. By providing water usage data in real time, property owners are now able

to conserve water.

CONSECUTIVE USAGE: Preventing the #1 insurance claim from occurring is accomplished

by monitoring consecutive gallons used - In your home - other than taking a bath or shower, the

water should never be on continuously for more than 3-4 minutes. We have two modes that allow

you to address this problem.

HOME MODE: By tracking continuous gallons used, this mode should be set to allow normal

water usage in a home when it is occupied, allowing for baths and showers.

AWAY MODE: By tracking continuous gallons used, this mode should be set to allow for

normal water usage in a home, subtracting showers and baths since the property is unoccupied.

Please note, that it is possible for there to be slight differences between the water

report, and your actual water bill. Use of our product is not a guarantee that water

damage will not occur. The product is not a replacement for your Insurance policy.

Many insurance companies offer discounts with the installation of the product; you

are encouraged to contact your agent to see if your property qualiﬁes.

Due to the fact that every property and installation can vary signiﬁcantly, it is very

important to consult with a licensed plumber prior to installation. There are many

factors that can determine the best location for the controller, valves, and ﬂow meters.

INSTALLINg ThE hyDROCOm SySTEm

THE HYDROCOM SYSTEM has a number of electrical and mechanical connections that need

to be performed in order for the product to work correctly. This symbol indicates important

safety warnings.

STEP 1: SELECTING THE CONTROLLER LOCATION

Choosing where to install the controller is a very important step. The controller is typically installed

where the water supply ﬁrst enters a home, such as in a basement, garage, or a mechanical room.

The controller is designed to operate via the Internet. It can also operate without an Internet

connection via a Smartphone or tablet. However, it is highly recommended to connect to the

internet one of three ways.

ETHERNET: Make sure that the router cable can reach the controller.

WI-FI: Make sure that a Wi-Fi signal is present and accessible.

CELL MODEM: Make sure that a cellular signal is available.

The plastic enclosure that houses the motor on top of the automatic water shut-off valve has a

NEMA 4 rating, meaning that it is water-resistant and splash-proof. Although the enclosure can

withstand moderate weather, it is recommended that the controller, valve(s), and ﬂow meter(s)

be installed indoors.

Operating and storage temperature -20°F to 130°F.

The valve and ﬂow meter come with 25 feet of cabling. Make sure the valve and ﬂow meter cables

can comfortably reach the controller.

STEP 2: MOUNTING BRACKET AND CONTROLLER

Remove the plastic cover from the controller, and then separate the mounting bracket from

the internal controller module. Install the mounting bracket to the wall using three screws and

anchors (provided). After installing the mounting bracket, simply re-insert the controller module

into the four tabs located on the sides of the mounting bracket. It will snap into place. In the

event that you have the ability to hide the valve and the ﬂow sensor wires, an access area below

the mounting bracket has been provided. Or, you can simply leave the wires exposed and enter

through the bottom of the controller. (Tie wraps are included)

CAUTION:

DO NOT TURN THE CONTROLLER ON/OFF SWITCH TO “ON” AT THIS STEP!

STEP 3: INSTALLING THE VALVE(S) AND FLOW METER(S)

The Hydrocom system comes standard with one valve and one ﬂow meter sensor. An additional

valve and ﬂow meter sensor can be added to the system. Typical uses include a dedicated hot

water line in a condominium or ofﬁce space, an irrigation/sprinkler supply, or a guest house. This

valve and ﬂow meter can operate independently of valve 1. We suggest that you call us to tailor

this application to your individual needs.

CAUTION: VALVE(S)

It is illegal, and in violation of all building and safety codes to install the automatic water

shut-off valve(s) in any manner such that:

By closing the automatic water shut-off valve(s) a ﬁre sprinkler system would be

unable to work correctly.

By closing the automatic water shut-off valve(s) a ﬁre sprinkler system

would be unable to function at its fully designed capability.

By closing the automatic water shut-off valve(s) any life safety device would be

rendered ineffective or its operation would be minimized, or compromised in any way.

Do not insert anything inside the valve(s) while it is not

connected to a water supply. Serious injury and/or valve

damage may occur.

A licensed plumber must install the automatic water

shut off valve(s) and ﬂow meter(s).

CAUTION Additionally, DO NOT install the valve(s) in any manner such,

that if the valve were to close:

1. A water softener were to close would not operate correctly.

2. A sprinkler/ or irrigation system would not operate correctly.

(Unless using two valves and Valve #2 is designated for irrigation).

3. A well pump/ pressure tank would not operate correctly.

4. A recirculation pump could fail.

The ball valve(s) are bi-directional. It does not matter which end of the valve is input or output.

The valve is 1” and it is recommended to use plumbers tape when connecting the male

adapters to the valve.

OUR SYSTEM IS ALSO CAPABLE OF OPERATING LARGER VALVES AND FLOW

METERS. SEE OUR WEBSITE WWW.HYDRO-COM.COM/ FAQ INSTALLATION FOR

THE CORRECT OPERATION AND WIRING.

IF YOU ARE USING WELL WATER, OR A WATER SOURCE THAT HAS HIGH SUSPENDED

SOLIDS, WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A 50 MICRON PRE-FILTER BEFORE THE

FLOW METER AND VALVE.

FLOW METER(S) INSTALLATION -- AUTOTROL TURBINE

Observe the ﬂow direction arrow on the turbine. Provide

a minimum of 12 inches (306 mm) of straight pipe before

and after the 2 inch (51 mm) turbine, and 6 inches (153

mm) before and after the 1 inch (25 mm) turbine.

Be especially careful of turbine orientation (Figure

3). Both horizontal and vertical orientations are

acceptable,however, be certain that you will have a full

pipe condition at all times. DO NOT mount the turbine

in a vertical orientation in a down-ﬂow condition. Under

normal conditions the turbine will require no maintenance.

In areas where the make-up water has suspended solids,

preﬁltration is required. A Wye-type stainer with a 50 mesh

speciﬁcation is recommended.

NOTE: DIMENSIONS ARE FOR REFERENCE ONLY. Care should be taken to

adequately support and align the pipes running into and out of the turbine.

CAUTION: DO NOT over tighten the turbine housing adapter nuts or you may

damage the threads. Hand tight plus 1/4-turn on nuts is recommended.

Insert sensor probe into turbine housing. The probe will “click” into place when inserted the

proper depth into the housing receptacle. Run the cable to the controller along the pipe using

cable ties or in conduit.

Figure 2 2-inch (51 mm) Turbine

CAUTION: DO NOT coil or twist probe cable together with power line wiring. DO

NOT attempt to pull the hall effect sensor through conduit.
