 Great alarm for laundry room sink August 30, 2010
Todd (San Mateo, CA United States)
Our laundry room utility sink where the washing machine drains sometimes gets blocked and floods - always from something goofy, like the baby's sock drains out of the washer and plugs the sink. I bought this alarm on a lark and set it on the soap holder, with the sensor hanging about 6 inches down into the sink. I was worried about false alarms from the splashing of the water, but no problems at all, and we do sometime use the sink for things. There the alarm sat for 6 months. Then one night a couple weeks ago, we heard very loud classical music - we were in the other end of the house, probably 50 feet away, and it kind of freaked us out. I had no idea what it was but followed the music and found the sink with water about 2 inches from the top. I got it unplugged (stuffing from a pillow that was in the washer...) and not a drop was spilled. It was so loud that it woke up our 4 year old, who loved the music. He asked us to play it again.
Works but be aware of the placement August 29, 2010
KR (Wausau, Wisconsin)
Bought this to identify if a crock pump fails and the water rises. If this is placed in a sealed or near sealed vessel such as a crock or sump pit, condensation will make this have false alarms. I was able to drop this into a floor drain, as if the crock I'm monitoring stops, the water will rise past the trap and fill the drain. I have it a few inches below flor level so I can catch it before there's a mess. Since the drain is open on the top this sensor works fine as condensation does build but not enough to set it off. The cord on the sensor is about 3 feet long so it works nice in this application. The sound is not extremely loud but fair. Overall it is doing the job and I haven't seen anything similar that is better...
It does what it is set to do - even 5 years later with same battery August 13, 2010

I put this device next to the 2nd floor bathtub.
5 years later, I moved out of the house and rented it. The maid tried to mop the area, and the alarm went off...
I will buy couple more to put next to the upstairs air condition (Florida air condition drains sometime gets clogged with Algae).
it works! July 15, 2010

My city has a sewer problem, when we get heavy rains, it backs up into my basement. I bought two heavy duty dirty water pumps from amazon, but I need a way to know when to haul it down to my basement to plug them in to minimize the amount of sewage coming into my house. This alarm is the bee's knees. I have it mounted on the wall and then duct taped the cord to the concrete floor so that it dangles down into my floor drain, that way it doesn't kicked out or become a cat toy.
I was sound asleep last night at 2:30 in the morning when the water started to back up. I heard it over 2 fans and a window AC unit. If you are a heavy sleeper or concerned you would not hear it, I use a baby monitor for extra insurance that I will hear the alarm, it happened to be off last night and I heard the alarm anyway.
 did not last June 17, 2010
