Key Features

  • Loud 120dB Alarm: Emits a powerful audible alert upon water detection, ensuring you are notified quickly. In flood situations, the alarm is designed to float and continue sounding until the probe is dried or the battery is depleted.
  • Sensitive Detection: Equipped with multiple water-sensing probes, including two groups on the back and one group on the front, to detect both leaks and drips effectively.
  • Low Battery Alert: The device will beep and flash a red light when the battery level drops below 5%, indicating it's time for replacement.
  • Wireless and Compact: No cables or complex setup required. Its mini size allows for discreet placement in tight spaces.
  • Mute Function: Press the button on the device to temporarily silence the alarm after a leak is detected and the probe is being dried. The alarm will reactivate if the probe remains wet after 5 seconds.

Setup

Battery Installation

  1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the AGSHOME Water Alarm Detector.
  2. Open the battery compartment cover.
  3. Insert the included batteries (AAA type) into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
  4. If there is a pull tab for battery activation, remove it.
  5. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Placement

Place the water alarm detector in any area where water leaks or drips are a concern. Ensure the water-sensing probes on the bottom of the device are in direct contact with the surface where water might accumulate. Common placement areas include:

  • Under sinks (kitchen, bathroom)
  • Near water heaters
  • Behind toilets
  • Next to washing machines or dishwashers
  • In basements or utility rooms

Operating Instructions

Water Detection and Alarm

Once the batteries are installed and the device is placed, it is active. The alarm will sound loudly (120dB) if water bridges any two of the water-sensing probes. This immediate alert allows for prompt action to mitigate potential water damage.

Muting the Alarm

To mute the alarm after a leak has been detected and addressed, press the large circular button on the top of the device. The alarm will silence. If the water-sensing probes are not completely dry within approximately 5 seconds, the alarm will reactivate. Ensure the area and the probes are thoroughly dried to permanently silence the alarm.

Testing the Battery Level

You can test the battery level at any time by pressing the circular button on the device. If the battery is low (below 5%), the device will beep and flash a red light.

Mute in Seconds

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the low battery alert activates (beeping and red flashing light), replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section.

Cleaning

Periodically inspect the water-sensing probes for any dirt or debris that might interfere with detection. Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
