🛡️ Certikin Plant Room Shield PRS001 – Advanced Flood Detection Device
Swimming Pool Plant Room Flood Protection – 24 Hours A Day, 365 Days A Year
💧 Product Overview
The Certikin Plant Room Shield (PRS001) is an advanced flood detection system designed to isolate the circulation pump when there is a water leak in the pool plant room. It can limit potential damage to the plant room, connected buildings and the pool system, whilst also saving water.
Having a leak in a swimming pool plant room can cause significant damage to the equipment and your property, so swift action can greatly reduce the damage caused and the stress of resolving the issue. The instant that the Plant Room Shield detects a leak, it will cut power to the circulation pump helping to prevent damage that would have been caused by flooding. At the same time the system will alert you or your pool maintenance company that a problem has been detected and that action has been taken by the system.
This can avoid unnecessary costs and distress by reducing or preventing damage to your property plant room, connecting rooms or adjoining areas that would be damaged by large volumes of water. Suitable for both domestic and commercial environments, the Plant Room Shield flood detection system can potentially save thousands of pounds worth of repair costs, minimise downtime and reduce insurance claims as the result of an undetected leak or system failure.

🔬 How It Works
The Plant Room Shield provides comprehensive flood protection through continuous monitoring:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1️⃣ STRATEGIC PLACEMENT
The unique water detection 'lowest point' probe is positioned
at a low point near the pump and filter
2️⃣ CONTINUOUS MONITORING
The system vigilantly watches for any signs of water
accumulation - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
3️⃣ LEAK DETECTION
When water from a leaking filter, pump or pipework comes
into contact with the probe, the system activates
4️⃣ AUTOMATIC PUMP ISOLATION
The control box isolates the power to the circulation pump
to minimise the potential damage
5️⃣ ON-SITE ALARMS
At the same time, the control box alarms both visually
and audibly
6️⃣ REMOTE NOTIFICATION
It also sends an SMS (text) message or phone message to
up to 3 nominated numbers to advise that the power to
the pump has been isolated
