Excellent!
I have 3 of these and they saved me hundreds on insurance and actually prevented leaks on several occasions that could have damaged my hardwood floors. I use them for 2 years now with 2 reverse osmosis filters and a washing machine and they are very convenient to stop the water when you need to change the filters.
