Aquastop SHT 216 Water Detector

Aquastop SHT 216 – The Immediate Water Stop with Device Shutdown

A small crack in the hose – and the washing machine is already emptying.

The Aquastop SHT 216 from Elektrotechnik Schabus stops it immediately: as soon as the fork sensor detects even a single drop of water, the device cuts off the power (up to 3500 VA), triggers a loud alarm, and lights up a red flashing LED. Washing machines or dishwashers turn off – before a drop reaches the floor.

At the same time, a normally-closed solenoid valve can be controlled (installation by a professional), which completely cuts off the water supply. 2.8 m sensor cable (extendable up to 50 m), simple plug-in connector, no battery needed. The classic lifesaver for every laundry and kitchen.

The technology is proven and uncompromising: The open fork sensor reacts instantly to even the tiniest amounts of water – ideal directly under the machine. Switching capacity 3500 VA – sufficient for all household appliances. Acoustic alarm + red flashing LED directly on the device.

After drying and brief unlocking, it is ready for use again. LIYY cable flame-retardant, self-extinguishing, oil- and grease-resistant. Mounting material included.

The SHT 216 is more than a water detector – it is the best insurance you can clip between the socket and the device. Landlords, homeowners, and kitchen studios swear by it because it does exactly what its name promises: it stops the water before damage occurs. Once plugged in, it works maintenance-free for years and can save tens of thousands of euros in renovation costs in case of damage.
