6. Placement Guidelines
Place the water leak detector in areas where water leaks are likely to occur or where water damage could be costly. Ensure the metal prongs on the bottom of the detector are in direct contact with the surface where water might accumulate.
Recommended Locations:
- Basements (near water heaters, sump pumps, or foundation walls)
- Laundry Rooms (near washing machines, utility sinks)
- Bathrooms (near toilets, bathtubs, showers, under sinks)
- Kitchens (under sinks, near dishwashers, refrigerators with ice makers)
- Garages (near water pipes, water softeners)
- Attics (near HVAC units, water tanks)

7. Operation
Once the battery is installed and the detector is placed, it is ready to operate. The device remains in a standby state, continuously monitoring for water.
Alarm Activation:
When water comes into contact with the three metal prongs on the bottom of the detector, it completes an electrical circuit, triggering the 100dB alarm. The alarm will continue to sound until the water is no longer detected by the prongs.

8. Maintenance
Stopping the Alarm:
To stop the alarm, remove the detector from the water and dry the metal prongs completely with a cloth. The alarm will cease once the prongs are dry.

Battery Replacement:
The 9V battery typically lasts for approximately 1 year under normal use. When the battery is low, the alarm may emit a weak or intermittent sound, or stop functioning. Replace the battery by following the installation steps outlined in Section 5.
Cleaning:
Wipe the exterior of the detector with a soft, dry cloth. If the metal prongs become dirty, clean them gently to ensure proper conductivity. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in cleaning solutions.

9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm does not sound when water is detected. | Battery is dead or incorrectly installed. Prongs are not making contact with water. Device is faulty. | Check and replace battery. Ensure prongs are fully in contact with water. Contact customer support if issue persists. |
| Alarm sounds continuously without water. | Prongs are wet or dirty. High humidity causing condensation. | Dry the prongs thoroughly. Clean the prongs. Move the detector to a less humid environment. |
| Alarm is too quiet. | Low battery. Obstruction covering the buzzer. | Replace the battery. Ensure the buzzer opening is clear. |
