Shut off water at home???
When you leave home for a few days, do you turn off the main water valve at your house?

Yes, I do. I also installed a Water Cop leak detection system on my home several years ago that will shut off the water automatically if a leak is detected.
The system includes a wall panel so the whole house can be turned off manually just by pressing a button. The individual, wireless leak detectors are located where water leaks are most likely to occur: water heaters, toilets, washing machines, ice maker, dishwasher, etc.
It's turned the water off several times since I installed it, and saved us from having expensive water damage repairs. The most recent event was when one of our water heaters started leaking just as we were going to bed one night. The WH is not close to our bedroom, but I heard the faint beeping of the sensor and wondered "what is that???". I eventually figured it out when I tried to turn a faucet on. Aha! The water is off.
Needless to say, I really like that system.
