Don't let Water Overflows cause Thousands in Damage
Flowban Download Installation Instructions & Tech Sheet
Efficiency
Flowban has only three moving parts. It uses no electricity, being entirely mechanical in operation. Resetting the system after shutoff is simply intuitive. No user instructions are necessary and, if the installation is hidden by a bath panel, there is no need for anyone to know that a flood prevention device is fitted.
Maintenance and Servicing
Under normal usage conditions Flowban requires no maintenance or servicing. However, it is recommended that a bi-annual check is carried out to confirm correct functioning of the unit.
If foreign matter is obstructing the movement of the float in the central chamber, then cleaning will be required but access to the chamber is very simple.
Location
Flowban must be installed in a location where there is access enabling it to be removed in the rare event of it needing cleaning. It must be installed in a vertical plane and be attached to either 1 1⁄2″ PVC or 1 1⁄2″ brass waste pipe. It cannot be installed on a waste with a trip activator passing through the waste pipe. The water supply pipes are connected with flexible hoses using John Guest push fit fittings. Female connectors are required on the bottom nipples and male inserts are required on the top.
The flow direction must be from bottom to top. The supply lines can be either hot or cold water or pre-mixed. In the latter case the flow should be split below the unit and reconnected above it. If required, only one inlet may be connected. Faucets may be located anywhere on the bathtub as required. The faucet controls can be fitted either before or after the unit.

Statutory Compliance

Flowban is a simple solution to the Bathtubs & Sinks Overflowing problem. Invisible to the bath user, it requires no extra sensor to be fitted inside the tub and no electricity supply to operate. It is intuitively self-resetting and Maintenance FREE.
Flowban has been designed for easy installation using John Guest push fit connections. It must be located between the overflow outlet and the waste.
Faucets left unattended can result in bathtubs flooding which can cause expensive damage down multiple floors. Even if the overflow outlet can deal with the incoming water, something they often fail to do on jet tubs, the wasted water and the energy used to heat it is an unnecessary expense.
Faucets left running can easily be forgotten and within minutes the water can reach the overflow, a short time later it can be flooding the bathroom! Some people deliberately allow the faucets to keep running so they can continuously top up with hot water. This is very wasteful and can cause flooding as well.
