You can buy a plastic tray to put under the washing machine. You can then buy a gadget that (1) senses excess moisture in that tray and (2) automatically shuts off the washer water supply. Since your computer equipment is under the washer, I'd call that a wise investment. I've also seen gadgets that purport to sense when the washer is running or not, and automatically turn the water on/off. Or you could do what my parents did in their house: Install a water shut-off valve in an easy-to-reach location, and manually turn it off whenever the washer is not in active use. > Mebbe I should make a project > of replacing the hoses with some high quality steel braided lines. Also a good idea. But don't forget that things can fail *inside* the washer, too. -- Ben
