FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install the Aqua-Scope leak protection myself?

Yes, the entire Aqua-Scope system is designed for self-assembly. No work is required on the drinking water or hot water lines. Therefore, no plumber or other installer is needed.

What must be taken into account when installing the KFR drive motor?

Please check the exact dimensions of your angle seat valve. Also check if there is enough space to install the motor on the angle seat valve. Further dimensions .

My shut-off valve is rusted. Can I still use the motor?

Both the ball valve actuator and the angle seat valve actuator rotate with a force of approximately 8 Nm. The torque a person can exert on a KFR valve, for example, is approximately 4 Nm. This means our motor will continue to turn the valve even when you can no longer do so yourself, or only with great difficulty.

Can the motors for shut-off valves (BVS, KFR) be operated with a Z-Wave or Zigbee compatible system (Hornbach, HomeAssistant, Fibaro, Smartthings, Homey etc.)?

Yes, that's possible. You'll need the wired motor for angle seat valves or ball valves . Then connect the motor to a smart relay with potential-free switching contacts. For Zigbee: NodOn Multifunction Switch . For Z-Wave: Shelly Wave 1. Basically, you need a switching insert with potential-free contacts. For the motor for ball valves (BVS), there's a Z-Wave device that can also be controlled directly and wirelessly.

Can the motors for shut-off valves (BVS, KFR) be operated with the Shelly system?

Yes, that's possible. You'll need the cable-controlled motor for angle seat valves or ball valves . You then connect this to a Shelly Plus 1. This video shows how the control cable is connected to the Shelly insert, enabling control via the Shelly app.

Can the motors for shut-off valves (BVS, KFR) be controlled by KNX?

Yes, that's possible. You'll need a cable-operated motor for angle seat valves or ball valves . The blogger "Mein smartes Daheim" has published a video about it on YouTube .

Can the motor be operated via voice assistants like Alexa, etc.?

Not directly, but for example via a Shelly Control Unit Plus 1. Please refer to the Shelly product manual for integration with voice assistants.

Can the motor be used with the ball valve of the meter sets from Wilhelm Ewe GmbH Braunschweig?

Yes, that's possible, but only with a special add-on. Instructions can be found here , and there's also a video demonstrating how it works.
