FLOWSTOPPER Pty Ltd is an Australian company founded by licensed plumber Neal Borland. Neal has over 19 years of experience in the plumbing industry, specialising in maintenance plumbing. Fed up with wasting time on broken pipe reapirs waiting for water to stop draining out of the line, stuffing bread up the pipe or paying for freezing companies, Neal set about inventing and testing a better solution for the industry.
Neal realised that there had to be a better way to repair broken copper water pipes. After ten years of research and development and over two years of on-the-job testing the revolutionary FLOWSTOPPER™ plugging device is now available for all plumbers.
The FLOWSTOPPER™ plugging device is an innovative new tool (Patented in Australia and International Patents applied for) that instantly plugs the residual flow of water in the pipeline. Neal designed the FLOWSTOPPER™ plugging device because of the frustrations he experienced on his own jobs. When he repaired broken water pipes the residual water would enter the pipe line whilst halfway through the pipe repair which caused no end of trouble in the welding (soldering) process.
Neal also found that when he shut down older control valves they would commonly not shut off completely. Typically 90% to 95% of the water flow may have shut off, leaving 5% to 10% of the water flow still coming through the pipe line.
The FLOWSTOPPER™ plugging device has been designed to overcome these two common plumbing problems.
