In principle this is a great product - it saved me from a flood when my reverse osmosis system failed. It's also easy to install and use - by itself. If you install it in some difficult location, well, that's not its fault. I use one set in the kitchen and a second set (different part number) on the clothes washing machine.In practice, things could be better. The build quality is highly variable; the most recent set purchased had one inside seal (around the ball valve) clearly deformed out of place. A simple visual inspection at the factory should have caught this critical problem. The previous set failed and started leaking, though it redeemed itself by setting off the alarm while I was at home and I could immediately shut off the supply. And with hot water the valves fail and need replacing roughly every two years; on cold supplies they last longer. (not entirely surprising...)
When I have contacted the actual manufacturer (Aqua-Managers, 949 362 2916) they were helpful about replacing broken parts. But free replacements don't make up for the labor time lost monkeying around under the sink; a product with higher build quality the first time, and every time, would get five stars. So, three stars.
