Hydrant Guard in Action: Understanding How Hydrant Guard Prevents Water Loss

Hydrant Guard's key features:

Quick to Install, and Just as Quick to Reset: Hydrant Guard's breakaway bolts are designed to break away under a specific amount of pressure. This means that in the event of a sheared hydrant, the bolts will break away, and Hydrant Guard will remain attached to the water main. Resetting is easy and only requires a new set of breakaway bolts and a gasket.
Prevents Water Surge: Hydrant Gurad’s valve plates keep the water in the ground. Made of durable stainless steel, these plates can quickly and easily be reset after activation. They are designed to withstand the force of water without deforming and do not impede water flow unless activated during a hydrant shear.
Signals a Sheared Hydrant: The Hydrant Guard's witness stream is a small stream of water that flows from the Hydrant Guard when the hydrant is sheared. This flow of water can help emergency responders identify the location of the sheared hydrant, making it easier to respond quickly and prevent further damage.

By combining these features, Hydrant Guard can provide a comprehensive solution for preventing water loss, protecting against hydrant shears,, and promoting sustainable and responsible water management practices. With a built-to-last design and a 10-year guarantee, the Hydrant Guard is a cost-effective and long-term solution for any water district.
