Operating Instructions

Placement:

Place the detector on the floor in areas where water leaks are likely to occur. Ensure the metal prongs on the bottom of the device are in direct contact with the surface where water might accumulate.

• Basements: Near sump pumps, water heaters, or exterior walls.
• Bathrooms: Under sinks, near toilets, or bathtubs.
• Laundry Rooms: Behind or next to washing machines.
• Kitchens: Under sinks, near dishwashers, or refrigerators with water lines.
• Garages and Attics: In areas susceptible to roof leaks or pipe bursts.

Image Description: This image shows four common locations for placing the water leak detector: in a laundry room near a washing machine, under a kitchen or bathroom sink, in a basement, and on a bathroom floor near a toilet or shower. The detectors are shown on the floor, indicating their intended use.

Alarm Activation:

When the metal prongs on the bottom of the detector come into contact with water, the device will immediately emit a loud 100dB alarm. This alarm will continue until the water is removed from the sensor prongs.
