Furman MP-20 Power Relay Accessory, 20 Amp, Two Outlets, Remote Turn-on from Momentary or Maintained Contact Switches Review

High quality industrial device! Very pleased.

I am actually using it in my home in conjunction with a Aqua Managers - FS 3/4-H90 - Floodstop for Washing Machines Water Leak Detection System - White - Washing machine leak detector kit. When water is detected on the floor (on water sensor pad) the FloodStop will close the supply line water valves to the washing machine, but I wanted to also stop the case where if the drain line were compromised or stopped up, I could shut off the power to the entire washing machine thereby stopping the machine from pumping any more water out of the drain line. Fortunately the FloodStop controller exposes both normally open and normally closed IO leads. One extremely nice thing about the Furman compared to other similarly product I look at is that it includes an internal 12 VDC supply that can be used to control the power relay, thus no other external low voltage power supply is required. So connecting the FloodStop and the Furman was a piece of cake and now with the washing machine plugged into the Furman, anytime water is detected, the FloodStop tells the Furman to shut off the washer. Genius!

This may sound like overkill, but when your washer is on the second floor and your home entertainment system is directly below on the first floor it forces you to think carefully about extreme preventative measures. Plus about two weeks after installing this system in my house, my neighbor had their washing machine overflow and cause about $3k worth of damage. So these scenarios are not all that uncommon :-)

For heavy duty appliances such as washing machines, the 20 amp version of the Furman is recommended.
