An electrically controlled flow valve is disclosed that is co-located with a manually operated, remote, water supply flow valve to control the flow of water through a hose from the water supply valve to an appliance such as a washing machine. A controller in the appliance controls the new flow valve to control the flow of water to the appliance, and isolates water pressure from the hot and cold water supply lines from the hoses and the washing machine when the appliance is not in use. Any hose leak that may occur when the alliance is not in use is limited to the small amount of water that normally lies in the hoses.
