The Problem

Toilet Leaks Waste Water for Hours

Save money

Running toilets, faulty fill valves, and leaking flappers can waste water long before your maintenance team knows there is a problem.

Unpredictable Costs and Extra Work

In a multifamily property, one running toilet may go unnoticed for hours or even days. Across multiple units, that wasted water can increase water and sewer bills and create more work for maintenance teams.

Toilet leaks are often hard to notice.

The Toilet Scrooge™ helps limit that waste by automatically closing the toilet’s water supply when the bathroom is vacant.

The Solution

How the Automatic Toilet Water Shut-Off Valve Helps

The Toilet Scrooge™ uses a motion sensor to control when water is available to the toilet.

A User Enters the Bathroom
A User Enters the Bathroom

The motion sensor detects that someone is present and opens the valve.

The Toilet Receives Water Normally
The Toilet Receives Water Normally

Water remains available while the bathroom is in use, allowing the toilet to operate normally.

The Valve Closes After the User Leaves
The Valve Closes After the User Leaves

When the bathroom becomes vacant, the valve closes and limits continuous water supply to a running toilet.

Its Features

Motion Sensor + Water-Powered Operation

The Toilet Scrooge™ combines automatic water control with water-powered technology to help reduce unnecessary toilet water use across multifamily properties.

Motion-Activated Water Control

Motion-Activated Water Control

The valve opens when a user is present and closes after the bathroom becomes vacant. Residents do not need to remember to manually shut off the toilet’s water supply.

Energy-Harvesting Power

Energy-Harvesting Power

The internal water wheel uses water flow during flushing to recharge the device’s power source, reducing routine battery maintenance.

Fast Installation

Tank-Toilet Compatibility

The Toilet Scrooge™ uses 3/8-inch fittings on both sides and can be installed under tank-filled toilets with compatible hose-line or hard-line connections.

A Smarter Approach

Automatic Shutoff vs. Leak Detection Only

A leak detector or toilet overflow sensor is generally designed to alert someone when a problem is detected. The Toilet Scrooge™ takes a different approach. It controls the toilet’s water supply itself.

Know The Difference

What If a Toilet Water Shut-Off Valve Is Leaking?

If the manual angle stop, supply line, or connection is leaking, the damaged plumbing component should be inspected and repaired. The Toilet Scrooge™ is designed to limit continuous supply to the toilet when the bathroom is vacant; it is not a substitute for repairing a leaking valve or fitting.

Running Toilets vs Leaking Shutoff Valves

Not every toilet water waste problem comes from a running toilet.

Running Toilet-1
Running Toilet

Water keeps flowing inside the toilet because of a worn flapper, faulty fill valve, or another internal issue. The Toilet Scrooge™ helps limit water flow when vacant.

Leaking Shutoff Valve or Supply Line
Leaking Shutoff Valve or Supply Line

Water leaks from the shutoff valve, supply line, fitting, or connection. The Toilet Scrooge™ is not a substitute for repairing damaged or leaking plumbing components.

Toilet Overflow
Toilet Overflow

Water rises or spills from the toilet because of a drainage or toilet problem. The Toilet Scrooge™ helps limit water supply when the bathroom is vacant.

Common Questions

Toilet Shut Off Valve FAQs

1
What Is an Automatic Toilet Shut Off Valve?

An automatic toilet shut-off valve controls water supplied to a toilet without requiring someone to manually turn the toilet’s angle stop on and off. The Toilet Scrooge™ uses bathroom occupancy to determine when the toilet should receive water.

2
How Does The Toilet Scrooge™ Automatic Shut-Off Valve Work?

A motion sensor detects when someone enters the bathroom and opens the valve so the toilet can receive water normally. After the bathroom becomes vacant, the valve closes and helps limit continuous water supply to a running toilet.

3
Is The Toilet Scrooge™ the Same as a Toilet Overflow Sensor?

No. Based on the product operation currently documented, The Toilet Scrooge™ controls the toilet’s water supply based on bathroom occupancy. It should not be described as directly detecting an overflow unless a separate overflow-sensing feature is confirmed.

4
Can The Toilet Scrooge™ Be Installed on Any Toilet?

The Toilet Scrooge™ is designed for tank-filled toilets and has 3/8-inch fittings on both sides. Installation may use compatible hose-line or hard-line connections. Check the product specifications before installation to confirm compatibility with your toilet.

5
Does The Toilet Scrooge™ Require Replacement Batteries?

The device uses a miniature water wheel to harvest energy from water flow during flushing and recharge its power source. This helps reduce routine battery replacement and maintenance.

6
What Should I Do If My Toilet Water Shut-Off Valve Is Leaking?

If the manual angle stop, supply line, fitting, or connection is leaking, that plumbing component should be inspected and repaired. The Toilet Scrooge™ helps control the water supplied to the toilet but is not a substitute for repairing damaged plumbing.

7
What Should Landlords Look for in the Best Toilet Shut Off Valve?

 For multifamily properties, consider whether the valve automatically controls water, fits your toilets, is easy to install and maintain, provides a way to verify correct operation, and has documented results from real properties. 

8
How Can I Estimate Savings From Automatic Toilet Leak Prevention?

Potential savings depend on your property's current toilet water use, the number of units, existing leaks or running toilets, and local water and sewer rates. Use your building information in The Water Scrooge savings calculator to estimate the potential impact.
