Leak Alert Electronic Water Detector

Prevent serious water damage with help from 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. The Leak Alert™ has two external metal strips with mild electrical current running through them. If both strips get wet, through a plumbing leak, flood, or surrounding moisture condensing on the surface, the electrical circuit will complete and the alarm will sound. Make sure the Leak Alert™ is placed on its back with the metal contacts touching the surface. You can test the unit by touching both strips with one finger, but be prepared for the loud alarm! Place it anywhere the potential for flooding or leaking exists: * Under sinks * Near water heaters * In basements * Near dishwashers and refrigerators * Under fish tanks * Near plumbing and toilets Product Features * Loud alarm (90 dB) sounds with direct water contact * Floats and signals for the life of the battery * Fully automatic operation - no wiring required * Low battery indicator for optimum safety and performance
