ABSTRACT:
A new leak collection and supply shut off system for closing off the supply of water and energy to a water heater in the event of a leak. The inventive device is designed for use with a water heater that has a tank, a water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe, and an energy supply line. The leak collection and supply shut off system comprises a container that is adapted for positioning under a water heater and holding water. The container has a base, a sidewall, and an open top. A water valve closes the water inlet pipe of the water heater when the level of water in the container is equal to or greater than a predetermined level. An energy shut off device closes the energy supply line of the water heater when the level of water in the container is equal to or greater than the predetermined level.
