Water Sensor, Wired

Works as advertised. Easy to install.

I've had a floodstop for years on my washing machine, and its been very reliable. At one point I had a question, and was able to speak directly to the owner/designer of the floodstop system; and he gave me advice and offered to replace a gear part for free if needed. After finishing the basement, and putting new flooring on the main floor, I decided I needed whole house flood protection. I used a floodstop water heater valve & controller, and put the valve on the main water line in my house; and when I finished the basement I ran wires anywhere in the house there was a water source. Then I'm putting these sensors in every bathroom, the sump, the dishwasher, water heater, and the refrigerator, so if I get a leak it will shut off the water automatically and avoid flood damage. I also have a sewage pump, and I put in a float valve in the sump so the floodstop will shut off the water if the pump fails so I don't get septic backup. I chose floodstop because it was inexpensive, robust and simple. The newer controller has battery backup and runs a test cycle monthly. Now if only I could get a discount on my homeowners insurance! The floodstop has everything I need

With little modification to the wire harness, Im using this with my Aqara Water Leak Sensors. I have several of them and use the FloodStop Leak Detector Water Sensor on all of them. They work as expected.

The Floodstop sensors are great. I do not have to worry if a pipe, hose, valve, etc. has leaked or broken. This cuts off the water supply and emits an alarm. Installation is easy enough with a little knowledge of plumbing. The one I got is a little different from the others I have but it works almost the same. This is a good product.

Bought 2 of these to add to an existing flood stop device in our cellar. Bought 2 strand "telephone" wire to daisy chain the additional ones about 50' each from the originally installed sensor. Easy to do, toughest thing was "wire management" - because I'm particular. Regardless, these devices will trigger the water shut-off device when only a wet thumb is touched to them. Regardless of distance. Great product, super solution to shutting off water supply if fear of leaks keeps you up at night.

It's nice to have a leak sensor that will shutoff the water, if that is the source of the problem. I had this installed under my DW and sink in case of leaks when I replaced the DW. It caught a leak in the sink drain pipe, but shutting off the water to the DW was useless because it had already filled and was emptying. When I was in the kitchen that morning, I heard a beep-beep-beep so knew to look around for the source of the sound. It beeps every 2-1/2 minutes so it took a while to narrow the sound source to the underrsink cabinet. Since this was plugged in, I would expect if not a louder beep (I guess many people have it inside a cabinet), at least more than once every 2-1/2 minutes since it has a mute button. Should be at least as annoying as a smoke detector with a dying battery! Since it has a contact closure (a nice feature BTW), I'll wire it up to my alarm system that notifies when a water leak is detected. For the price, a couple of bucks extra for built-in Z-wave would be perfect. Or even an external accessory. A loud or remote alert would be nice so that someone can come and clean up the leak. As it is, you likely won't hear the beeps until you come to either use the appliance (e.g., visit laundry room) or investigate why there is no hot water (e.g., valve on HW tank). It's also nice you can buy additional sensors to cover a larger area.

Ordered these to extend sensor coverage for the FloodStop whole house system I just installed. We have a large number of water fixtures where we do not have a floor drain in the basement. So one of these goes near the water heater, one near the pressure tank, and two in the area of the water filters and softener. I put down shower pan liner and built a small moat around all the equipment so any leak will eventually reach one of the sensors and trigger the FloodStop. We already testing this live due to a cracked female PVC schedule 40 threaded connector (installed by a plumber no less). I'll be ordering at least 2 more sensors to provide remote sensing of the dishwasher/kitchen sink and laundry areas.

Works as it should
