Hi All,
I have an outside shower that I'd like to turn off the water too when we are away from the house. Note that I am not talking about an automated shower valve. I am happy with the manual valve outside, but I would like to be able to shut off the supply to the shower.
I am having trouble finding valves that I can control from my Elk. I've seen some stand-alone systems for controlling the water supply to a clothes or dish washer. The valves used by these systems seem perfect, but there is a heavy premium to be paid for the unneeded moisture detecting control system. On the other end are the large whole house valves that have no control system but seem to be over kill for the application.
The ideal would be a three wire 24vac valve that used one wire to open and the other to close and cost less than $50. An actuator that mounted to a standard ball valve would be even better.
Any suggestions?
