Range: 32 to 122F (0° to 50°C) I have read some reviews that say the Bulldog Valve Robot is not strong enough; is this true? The motor in the Bulldog is quite strong, but the valve must be in good working order. It should move smoothly requiring no force to close, otherwise & particularly combined with a poor installation, can prevent the Bulldog from operating properly. I have read some reviews that say the brackets come loose or it moves during operation. Is this a design problem? The Bulldog design is exceptionally good. The brackets should be tightened to the valve, not to the pipe, and not tightened to the round end of the valve, else it will slip. We have updated our user documentation to make this very clear. What tools and what skills or expertise do I need to install the Bulldog? You will need a medium Phillips screwdriver. The valve controller for it will require a couple screws in the wall - that may require a drill. If you know how to use a screwdriver, and are willing to read the installation manual, you'll be fine! So, what do you mean by "poor installation"? :-) The Bulldog is a bolt-on product, it does have a couple parts that have to be properly assembled and aligned to the ball valve. Most support requests we get are from very simple things like a loose screw, or the instructions were not followed. Should I get the Bulldog or a motorized valve? A motorized valve will always be superior to a bolt-on valve operator/manipulator, even one as nice as the Bulldog.

I've been using YoLink's leak sensors for a few years with just the app on my phone and decided to take this to the next level with their robotic valve actuator. This is a nicely designed product and of good quality that does what's it's intended to.Our water line from the city is 1-1/4" with same size ball valves above and below the water meter. I installed this on the upper valve only because the lower, though does work, is extremely stiff to operate. The torque this produces is impressive and it closes the upper valve with no issues but I didn't try in on the lower valve. The valves do get closed periodically but they are 25 years old.I performed a test at our utility sink in our basement to see how long it would take to shut off the water and how much water would spill before the valve closed. We have 75 psig water pressure which provides for excellent flow and with the cold faucet fully open at the tubs the flow is in the 7 ~ 8 gpm range. I placed the sensor in a 5 gallon bucket, turned the cold water on full and timed how long it took for the water to stop. Full stop in 20 seconds with about 2.5 gallons in the bucket which is better than I expected. Obviously this was a hypothetical situation and a potential leak could flow more or less depending on where and type but I was most interested in the reaction time to shut off all water to the house.A great product that in my opinion makes more sense than the complexities associated with the more expensive valve replacement solutions from companies such as Moen. If you're looking for simple straightforward water damage protection from plumbing leaks this is a great option.
