An apparatus for detecting leaks and for shutting off the water flow has a flushing cistern having a water inlet that is controlled by main valve, a filling column connected to the flushing cistern, a fluid compartment having a float therein and an actuating mechanism. The main valve has an operating lever that is operable to close the main valve. The float is cooperative at the operating lever so as to pivot the operating lever when the flushing cistern is full of water. When the float lowers in the float compartment as the float compartment is emptied, the actuating mechanism causes the operating lever to open the water inlet so as to allow the flushing cistern to fill.
