Automatic Water Shutoff When Vacant
The valve closes when the bathroom is not in use, helping limit continuous water flow from running toilets.
The Toilet Scrooge™ automatically controls the toilet’s water supply based on bathroom occupancy, helping limit continuous water flow from running toilets when the bathroom is vacant.
Reduce toilet water waste and help lower water and sewer costs across your property.
Running toilets, faulty fill valves, and leaking flappers can waste water long before your maintenance team knows there is a problem.
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.
The Toilet Scrooge™ helps limit that waste by automatically closing the toilet’s water supply when the bathroom is vacant.
The Toilet Scrooge™ uses a motion sensor to control when water is available to the toilet.
The motion sensor detects that someone is present and opens the valve.
Water remains available while the bathroom is in use, allowing the toilet to operate normally.
When the bathroom becomes vacant, the valve closes and limits continuous water supply to a running toilet.
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
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
The internal water wheel uses water flow during flushing to recharge the device’s power source, reducing routine battery maintenance.
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 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.

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

See how property owners and managers have lowered water costs and improved NOI with The Water Scrooge™.
The Water Scrooge has a service which reduces water consumption through special devices resulting in reduced water bills and energy savings due to the need to heat fewer gallons of water.
It’s a capital cost that lowers expenses thus increasing cash flow, and Net Operating Income. In my business, a higher NOI increases the value of my property….Thus far, the purchase of the valve has proven to be a very good return on the investment”
We have purchased and installed 12 Smart Valves in our apartment properties over past 6 months. Savings have ranged from 11% to 23%. This is particularly valuable since all of our properties separate sewer charges based upon water consumption . We intend to install in our other buildings by the end of the year.”

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
