Water leakage protector apparatus

A continuously operable water leakage protector apparatus for appliances subject to leakage, comprising in combination:

• A. first electrical sensing means for detecting water leaking from a water supply line coupled to an appliance and second electrical sensing means for detecting said water leaking from said appliance;
• B. electrical control valve means, affixed directly to said water supply line, for controlling the flow of said water to said appliance, said control valve means being connected to a source of electrical power and said appliance being coupled to said control valve means to obtain electrical power;
• and
• C. first and second means coupling said control valve means to said first and said second electrical sensing means;
• wherein, when a water leak is detected by either said first or said second sensing means, said electrical control valve means stops said water from flowing from said water supply line to said appliance.
