About This Product

When moisture is detected, the Zircon Leak Alert Wi-Fi will sound a 105 dB alarm, emit a visual warning by flashing an SOS, and will send an email via your Wi-Fi connection to up to 5 addresses; warning you of the water leak and potentially saving you thousands of dollars in water damage repairs. The Zircon Leak Alert Wi-Fi eliminates the need for all the expensive accessory equipment by operating on a hubless platform. Each unit operates independently of each other and can be individually named- allowing for an infinite number on units to be on guard protecting your space from water damage. Should a flood occur, the Leak Alert unit will float and continue to sound the alarm until the problem is resolved, or the battery is exhausted. Each Leak Alert Wi-Fi unit requires a standard 3v lithium battery (included). To keep your unit running optimally, Zircon designed the Leak Alert Wi-Fi to chirp and send an email notification when the battery is running low and needs to be replaced. To configure the Leak Alert Wi-Fi , youll need an established Wi-Fi connection and password (if applicable) and a Smart Phone, tablet, or Computer thats also connected to the Wi-Fi ne2rk. Then, simply follow the directions provided to connect to the Leak Alert Wi-Fi Unit, name the unit, and provide the emergency email address youd like to have notified when the alarm is sounded. Protect your home and work space by placing a Zircon Leak Alert Wi-Fi unit anywhere water leaks may occur.

Questions & Answers

How do you test the alarm to see if the battery is good?

Answer This Question

Hi Kathy - 4. TESTING Wet your finger and touch the two metal sensing contacts on The Detector. A loud, repetitive series of beeps will sound and the LEDs will flash red. Dry the contacts to stop the alarm. Check all email addresses to confirm successful receipt of test notifications. If a notification is not received, check your Wi-Fi connection and repeat the steps in Sections 2 and 3. Ensure all user information was entered correctly, then perform the test again. If notifications still are not received, visit http://zircon.com/how-to/tips-and-tricks/ leak-alert-wifi-setup for the latest product information/updates. Give us a call Toll Free, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, Pacific Time. Our California Based Technical Support Team is happy to help, and can troubleshoot most user-error issues and provide solutions in just a few minutes time.

          Can the water contacts be placed in direct contact with the ground, or is there a slight gap between the water contacts and the ground?

          Answer This Question

          The unit will sit on the floor. But if it gets 'damp' the alarm will trigger. I found I had to a slight shim [ several layers of duct-tape ] to lift it ~ 1/8th inch above a concrete floor.. [ or the metal surface if that's what it is on. ]

            We own seven of these devices and they lie flat with the sensor wires on either bottom or side positions. No gap. One of our tile floors is somewhat conductive and caused false alarms The solution was to place the senor on a piece of toilet paper.

                  Answer This Question

                  The Leak Alert WiFi will sound as long as the contacts are wet and for as long as the battery has power. The best way to turn the alarm off is to remove the battery and dry the contacts off. If you have any further questions please contact our customer service through the Zircon website. Thank you.

                        Sets up a temporary SSID and WiFi access point. You then log into the device using a particular IP address using common browsers and allow it access to your local WiFi network. No funny business apps to install but it will send emails through Zircon.

                          A sensitive, technologically sophisticated, but simple-to-operate water detector. We have a below-grade entryway and outdoor drain that -- despite French drains, a sump pump, and grading -- still somehow manages to allow some occasional water into our finished basement. A simple water detector saved us once, but when a freak storm hit when we were out of town, we came home to almost 200 sq. ft. of wet carpet. With any luck, this detector is going to help us avoid that situation permanently. Not only is it very sensitive -- a wet finger is enough to set it beeping -- but it is loud enough to be heard outside the house and, best of all, it connects with wifi and sends alerts to as many e-mail addresses as you designate. I typically hate setting up wireless devices, but this was very straightforward with easy-to-follow instructions. The only negative was that the battery (the less common CR123 lithium type) either arrived drained or got drained in the setup process, because almost the moment I got the unit online, I got a message saying the battery was low. Fortunately, I had several batteries in storage, switched one out, and we were good to go. I can't speak for longevity yet, but if this saves us even one round of flooding in our basement, it will have paid for itself 10 times over. Highly recommended.

                          Great stand alone leak detector! I was looking into buying a leak detector that would hook up to my smart home system, but with this it doesn't rely on any other hubs or devices to work properly. It has it's own battery and emails you and beeps when it gets wet! I set it up easily in 5 minutes and tested it with a little water and it worked perfectly! I've attached an image of the email it sent me when i put water on it. There was about 30 seconds between me putting water on it and me recieve the email which I think is sufficently fast!

                          Zircon Leak Alert Wi-Fi Electronic Water Detector This is a great water detector. I recently added a small water heater under the kitchen sink and while I placed a catch pan under it I had no way of knowing if there was water in the pan. This leak detector is perfect for this application. The detector comes complete with a battery (CR123a) and instruction manual. The instruction manual is well written and easy to understand. Using either IOS, Android or Windows you can configure the device. Configuring the device was a bit tricky, it took me multiple tries to get it right. Once you press the button to configure the device you have three minutes before the device turns off. I found it challenging to get the information entered in via my phone within the three minutes. Once configured the device is easy. Simply place it face down on the surface you want to monitor. Since I was placing it face down in a metal pan I did place a piece of tape across the surface contacts. You can test the device by simply wetting your finger and holding it on the contacts. The alarm is quite loud, the device flashes and an email is sent notifying you of a leak, this worked very well. If the water gets deep the device is designed to float. Another nice feature is the low battery alarm, not only will it send an email but it will also beep, the great part is the beep only works between 9am and 5pm so it will not wake you up in the middle of the night (unlike my smoke detectors). Overall I think this is a great device and would recommend it. Pros: Quality built Great Design Well Thought Out Great Instructions Cons: Configuring was tricky

                          Battery sucks
                          The leak detector shipping was quick and nicely packed. Setup directions are OK. Issue is the battwery that was supposed to be new or 100% turned out to be at 36%. After setting up for leak alerts I kept getting low battery emails. This is not how it should be. I paid $50 for a fully functioning device and now have to buy CR123A battery which costs extra $10. Another issue is that while testing for alerts I received emails several minutes after I ran the leak test.

                              Mostly Dependable Hardware, Disappointing Support Experience
                              I’ve used Zircon’s WiFi Leak Detectors reliably for over 7 years, until recently. About a week ago, both units stopped sending email alerts simultaneously. During setup, the devices showed “No Internet Connection,” even though my WiFi was working perfectly. It appears their backend servers were down, causing these issues. When I reached out to tech support with straightforward yes/no questions about the outage, I didn’t receive direct answers, likely due to liability concerns and a lack of manpower. Instead, support insisted on a phone call, citing cybersecurity and phishing concerns, and the need to verify that I was the legitimate customer. But let’s be honest, they make stud finders and WiFi leak detectors, not exactly a high security financial service or a company handling sensitive user data. For a basic IoT consumer product that sends simple email alerts, the explanation felt disproportionate, especially when the outcome was silence unless I agreed to a scheduled phone call. The support ticket I submitted was met only with a request for my phone number and a scheduled call time, while my email and phone calls went completely unanswered. Their small, apparently overwhelmed support team seems unable to provide timely help. This doesn’t appear to be an isolated case either; many Google reviews suggest this has been a recurring problem for years. While the system is functional again now, keep in mind that if their backend servers go down, you won’t receive critical updates: leak alerts, low battery warnings, setup confirmations, or weekly test logs. Support is almost exclusively via scheduled phone calls initiated by Zircon, which can be inconvenient for many users. This appears to be more of a management and resource issue than the fault of the support staff, who are likely just following strict protocols. To be fair, this is the first major outage I’ve experienced in over 7 years of using these devices, but the lack of transparency and the limited support options when something finally did go wrong was disappointing. When the unit works, it’s great. But the experience left me uneasy about future support if issues were to arise again.

                                Returning
                                Here is another review describing connectivity issues. I'm not leaving additional stars because it might float or work well as a stand-alone detector. I purchased it for the wifi capability, which I was not able to complete set up. It acted like it was set up, but I never received an email confirming such. We have several 2.4 ghz (only) devices connected via wi-fi in our home. This device showed connected a few times, but it never relayed a message via email. I went through the process at least half a dozen times, ultimately doing so right next to the router to make sure poor connectivity or wifi reach wasn't the issue. The device acted like it received an update. Or at least knew an update was available. I did want this item to work, and I spent at least an hour trying to get it to work as described. I am returning this device. I did reach out to Zircon via their website. I still haven't t heard back from them. Several reviewers have stated that they will use it as a stand-alone water alert detector without wifi. That's great. I wonder if they realize Zircon makes a device that is almost 4 times cheaper and does not claim to have wi-fi capability. Dear Zircon: I did reach out to you. I did confirm that a reply email from support or confirmation emails are not in a spam folder.
