    Water Heater Auto Shut Off Valve

    :agree: I guess I am just stuck in the fact that I have installed so many darn leak-guardians and have had so many go off over the years WHILE PEOPLE WERE AROUND that I haven't really looked at the power source as an issue. Perhaps I should re-evaluate this a little myself though Good...
