the safety plug

this is a plug for any sink or bathtub which can be used to avoid flooding. this plug is a normal plug with the standard fitting that has a bubble like object on the top attatched by string.

you can adjust the height of this bubble to maximise the height of the water in the prefered item. by doing this you can leave the place to fill with water and when the water reaches the bubble it causes pressure therefore pulling the plug out and draining the water. this is a great idea and save thousands of pounds in insurance costs.
