In the event of a power outage, the rechargeable battery will keep the AKWA* System operating for a period of 8 hours. The battery charge has enough power to keep the system running during power outages that generally last for a period of 2.5 hours or less.
During a power failure, the AKWA* System will continue operating, and running water will still be available. During such a power outage, the controller will continue monitoring the risk of water damage.
If the power outage lasts more than 8 hours, the system will close the valve and will have to be reopened manually when the power returns.
