Minimize serious water damage in your home with the help of the Leak Alert water detector. This self-contained battery-powered unit will sound a loud alarm the second it gets wet, alerting you to a potential water leak.
Install a new 9V alkaline battery in your Leak Alert. Just like your smoke detectors, the battery in a Leak Alert should be changed on an annual basis at minimum. For additional security, the unit will chirp if the battery is running low and will float in the event of a flood.
Place a Leak Alert in any location where there is a potential for water damage and flooding such as in the:
- Bathroom
- Laundry Room
- Kitchen
- Basement
- Garage
Lay the Leak Alert flat with the metal contacts facing down and touching the surface. When the Leak Alert's metal sensing contacts come into contact with water, a loud 90 dB alarm sounds for up to 72 hours. The alarm is as loud as your standard smoke detector. In the event of a severe flood, the Leak Alert floats and continues to sound an alarm until the battery is depleted. To minimize property damage, respond to the alarm as quickly as possible.
The installation of a fresh battery with an extended expiration date is required to steadily power the Leak Alert water detector. Always be sure to install a new 9V alkaline battery.
Question: Do I need to plug the Leak Alert into an outlet?
Answer: No, The Leak Alert only requires a new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date.
Q: Are the Leak Alert water detectors reusable once they’ve been activated?
A: Yes, they can be reused after the two exterior metal sensor contacts are fully dried. Be sure to remove the battery, wipe the detector’s contacts, and let it air dry for minimum of 24 hours.
Q: My basement and garage can get very cold during the winter. Will my Leak Alert still function in that environment?
A: The tool operates between 20° and 105°F and can be stored, when not in use, between 20° and 150°F.
Q: How loud is the alarm?
A: The alarm is 90 dB, which is the same volume, or louder a standard smoke detector.
Q: Does the Leak Alert work on damp carpet?
A: Yes, if the spacing of the carpet fibers are close enough and the two exterior metal sensing contacts are in direct contact with the wet carpet, the detector should sound its alarm.
