Product Description

Zircon's Leak Alert electronic water detector is now available in a money saving bonus pack which includes 2 Leak Alert units without batteries. Zircon's Leak Alert is perfect for use near water heaters, sinks, dishwashers, sump pumps, and more. Protect your home from water damage by placing the Leak Alert in any place that has potential for flooding or leaks. A loud (85dB) alarm sounds with direct water contact. The Leak Alert requires an easily installed 9V battery, no wiring or hub required. Should flooding occur, the Leak Alert will float and sound a loud audible signal. The Leak Alert has a low battery warning for optimum performance. Just like your smoke detector, remember to check and replace your Leak Alert batteries every year.

How a Leak Alert Works:

1. Install the Battery

Install a new 9V battery in your Leak Alert. Just like your smoke detectors, the battery in a Leak Alert should be changed on an annual basis. For additional security, the unit will chirp if the battery is running low.

2. Placement

Lay the Leak Alert flat with the metal contacts facing down and touching the floor. Use a Leak Alert in any location where there is a potential for water damage and flooding.

3. Respond to Alarm

When the Leak Alert's metal contacts come into contact with water, a loud 85dB alarm sounds for up to 72 hours. The alarm is as loud as your standard smoke detector. In the event of a severe flood, the Leak Alert floats and continues to sound an alarm until the battery is depleted. To minimize property damage, respond to the alarm as quickly as possible.
