Abstract: A flapper is provided in the main conductive fluid supply inlet line, and a permanent magnet is affixed to the bottom of the flapper. Adjacent to the flapper, outside the pipe, a magnetically operated switch is placed. Conductive fluid sensors are placed in or on conductive fluid dependent appliances, to determine the presence or absence of flowing conductive fluids. The flapper's switch and the conductive fluid sensors are connected in circuit with a relay, which in turn controls an electrically actuated valve cutting off or permitting the entry of fluids from the source to the inlet pipe. If the switch is activated, and one or more of the fluid sensors is not, within a predetermined time period, then the electrically actuated valve will cut off the entry of fluids from the source to the inlet pipe. If the switch and sensors are activated concurrently, normal fluid flow will be permitted.

Abstract: A flood control device and system which controls conductive fluid(s) in a conductive fluid supply line and or path, using the conductivity of said fluid(s). The conductive fluid system comprises; a conductive fluid supply line, in-line conductive fluid shut-off valve, in-line conductive fluid detector, conductive fluid sensor(s) (attached in or to conductive fluid dependent appliances), a D.C. powered central processing unit, and control panel. The conductive fluid flows through said conductive fluid line, said in-line conductive fluid shut-off valve, intern reaching said in-line conductive fluid detector which detects the flow of conductive fluid, thereby sending data to said central processing unit. When said central processing unit receives said data, said central processing unit delays for a predetermined amount of time (example 3 seconds) waiting to receive data from one or more of said conductive fluid sensor(s).
