Sonin Water Alarm – 85 dB Leak Detector with for Early Water Detection, 24 ft Sensor Cable for Hard-to-Reach Leak Areas (00800)

Blew a water softener in the middle of the night. Next morning, and 17,000 gals of water later, the garage had 4 inches of water in it. Opened the garage door and the title wave that flowed out washed my front yard into the street. Replaced the water softener putting it next to the water heater, poured some water in the area, and noted where it first pooled. Placed the sensor at that point and mounted it to the wall. closed the bedroom and garage door and pressed the test button. Wife said barely audible from the bedroom with the door closed, but can hear it in the living room and the constant beep would be hard to miss even at low volume. Put another one next to the washer. Hope I never hear them EVER because of a water leak, but pretty sure I'll notice the beep if it goes off. Better than flooding the garage. Would give it 5 stars if it was louder.

This works great for saltwater or just regular tap water but NOT for RO/DI water! For anyone who has this or wants this to monitor leaks/spills for their RO/DI system BEWARE! My tub-o-water almost overflowed onto the floor because I forgot about it. That's my fault of course. BUT I had the prongs for this sensor about 2" from the top of the water tub. When I went and checked, the water was about an inch OVER the top of the sensor and it was completely silent. I then pulled it out and put my wet finger over the sensors and it went off. I emailed the company and they said that it's very possible that the water was not conductive enough to make this go off and detect the water. They said the water might be too pure for it to work properly. So I will put this one behind a tank and make my own with a smoke detector!

Actuly had it go off for the first time last night and it does its job the only downside is its not quite as loud as I hoped it to be. I own a two story house so its very hard to hear it from the basment to my bedroom on the 2nd floor. On the first floor you could hear it with easily

After replacing our basement foundation drainage system, we installed the sensor on the side of the sump pump well to warn of sump pump failure. It also sits next to our washing machine, so it will warn if a hose or valve fails on that, as well. We tested it with a small bit of water and it sounded immediately. It's plenty loud to hear upstairs or even on the second floor. I like that it has a remote sensor so the alarm itself is well off the floor. We hung it on the wall behind the washing machine. Like a fire alarm, we hope we never need it, but it's good to have.

After forgetting the water running in the kitchen sink, I bought this as a safety device. I didn't want to mop up gallons of water on my floor again. Testing it was AOK - when the sensor pins were immersed - even just the tips - the alarm would sound - loud, but not deafening. The little suction cup attached the sensor to the sink wall and it remained there.I had high hopes for this device. After about two weeks, the alarm sounded during the night. However, the sink was dry, and the sensor pins were not wet. False alarms are not helpful - making the device all but useless. Sorry but I can't recommend this. Looking for a reliable (higher quality higher cost) device.

As soon as I took this out of the box I was immediately impressed. You can tell right away that it is a quality device. I ave had several of these and not only were they cheap, they also looked cheap. This one has a more substantial wire to start with, feels more solid and looks more like a quality product. I plan to buy more soon in case I want to place more around my home

This is loud enough for our house and it's nicer than the one I got at a home improvement store a few years ago. I like having one so I don't have to worry if the sub pump is not working.

.Compact with remote sensor. Remote sensor has different mounting positions. Works really well and loud. I have one on the air conditioner emergency drip pan, under several sinks and even one under the deep freezer which has dripped in the past.
