The solution

What changes for you

Six ways Joey gives you your time back.

Fit It and Forget It
Fit It and Forget ItThe sealed 10-year battery means no more carrying AAs, no more customer calls, and no homeowner can disable it. Your install stays protecting.
Zero Delay
Zero DelayMotorized valves can take anywhere from 2 to 45 seconds to close, with flooding occurring during that window. Joey acts instantly. One pulse. Water stops.
Avoid Nuisance Callbacks
Avoid Nuisance CallbacksNo jammed ball valves. No corroded mechanisms. 316 stainless steel and a solenoid with no moving ball means nothing to fail.
Built-In Manual Override
Built-In Manual OverrideWhen a ball valve jams shut, the water stays off until the unit is replaced. Joey can always be overridden manually. Rotate the solenoid. Water flows. Simple.

10+ years. The cell is sealed and only draws current for the millisecond it takes to fire the solenoid, so there is no standby drain like a motorized valve.

No. The battery is sealed inside the housing - there are no AAs to pull out at 2am. The reset button is the only control they can reach.

Dry the tray, then press the reset button on the top of the unit. The LED returns to green. No tools and no service call.

There's a mechanical safety catch and a manual override, plus a USB-C input (5V DC, 0.5A) as backup power if it's ever needed.

1/2", 3/4" and 1" - one valve for every standard pipe size.
