Is there some type of water flow sensor that can be installed on the main line right after the water meter that would sense a sudden increase in water flow (such as a ruptured pipe, hose, etc.)?
I know they make sensors for the existence of water after it has leaked out. However, it would be great if there was something out there that could detect a sudden increase in the water flow & notify me (like some of the aforesaid sensors do) or stop the water (like floodsafe hoses on washers - but not restrict the water flow itself - tried using these & takes forever to fill up washer). Also, the sensors generally are only effective in the area they are located.
Thanks,
Matt
