Translations:AquaStop – der sichere Schutz vor Wasserschäden/7/en

The engineers at BSH developed the automatic faucet system, WASA for short, in response. The water supply hose was sheathed by a second hose in this case, which was used to redirect the water to the base tray in the event of a leak. The float gage emitted a signal by means of an electrical switch to the inlet valve, which was connected directly to the faucet and closed the water intake. As a result, no more water came from the faucet and further supply of water was shut off immediately. The float gage also activated the lye pump. The risk that the inner hose would explode was thus already reduced significantly. All protection functions were independent of the power source and thus operated even if the machine was switched off, since the inlet valve was connected to the faucet without delivery of current.
