WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY SPENT. THEY WORK WELL AND YOU'LL KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF LEAK IF PLACED COREECTLY. Spending little for the 3 units but were worth much more for warning me an issue was at hand. If you worry about leaks and want something to notify you these work great!
Seriously had the water continued I would have had a few hundred dollars damage - I have 6 units throughout the house wherever there could be leaks. IM SOLD ON THEM....THEY ALREADY PAID BACK IN A HuGE WAY! worth every penny , can't stress enough! Simple but powerful. saves $$$ from damage .
Many other detectors have two-point sensors which must be reached by water before they are triggered--the problem with these is positioning the sensor downward so that the points both touch and remain at floor level (they are very light-weight and can easily move or curl up a bit, delaying activation of the alarm)....Also, this device has an on-off switch on the side of the alarm, so that an accidental tripping of the alarm -- for example, by a few drops of water accidentally flung under the sink -- can quickly be turned off til you've dried the sensor... Downside (1) there are no mounting holes or other means of attaching the back of the alarm box to a wall, so it must be taped, or laid flat somewhere and (2) there may be no low battery alarm-see NOTE below of this review.
NOTE: I change all my 9v alarm batteries (smoke, CO etc once a year, even though many will last far longer. One reviewer said there was no low-battery warning; another says there is a warning and it's the same as if you had a leak...I don't know who's right--there are no instructions with the unit.
Original review:
In Oct. 2022, we had a downspout get clogged, and for the first time in 15+ years, we got water in a carpeted area of our basement. We dried it out, and got these alarms to place along the floor near the baseboards of the wall.
The sensors are lightweight, thin metal boards. They don't like to lay down/lay still on their own... if the cord gets nudged at all, they like to turn up on an edge or move around. We wedged them down between the baseboard and the carpeting in the hope that they'd sense the water coming under the baseboard and soaking into the carpeting. We figured sensors near the base of the carpet would be better than one sitting on top of the carpet. We taped the cords along the wall so they wouldn't move and displace the flimsy/lightweight sensors.
Today we discovered they did not work for this purpose. The carpet was soaking wet and the alarm never went off. I even pushing the sensor by hand in to the sopping wet carpet - it still didn't go off. Apparently it won't go off until it is literally submersed in a puddle -- laying on top of a soaking wet surface doesn't work. But the whole point of getting the sensors was to discover the water was coming in BEFORE it got too high!!!
So... don't buy this for carpet. If you are doing an area that concrete or linoleum or something, it might work. [Edited to add: I will say that we tested the sensors before using them, and they *did* work if set into a puddle on a flat surface.] But if you're buying it for a surface like that, there are lots of heavier/sturdier sensors with no cords that might be better.
TLDR - Don't buy for carpet. Flimsy, inconsistent, alarm.
