Inexpensive watchdog
Inexpensive way to monitor drain backup or water heater leakage. Alerted me when water heater failed.

No
I have three of these. One went off by my heater\air condition unit. After extracting the water from the floor we traced the water intrusion due to the a-coil rusting out causing the water from the evaporator to go on the floor. Replaced with a new a-coil problem solved with no damage from the water intrusion. 2nd alarm went off by my hot water heater. Small hole rusted out in bottom of water heater. Replaced water heater with no water damage in the basement. I have a third alarm by my laundry tub that our washing machine drains into then out the wall to the sewer system.

Cannot be tested?
The water alarm cannot be tested to see whether it works. There are no instructions on how to test it. It may be working, or it may not be working.

Response from WatchdogDec 7, 2022
The water alarm can be tested. If you place a finger (or any conductive object) across the two metal nodes on the sensor pad, the alarm should sound until the object is removed. The object connecting the 2 metal nodes simulates the presence of water. For more information, please contact our customer support team at 800-991-0466 option 3. We are available to take incoming calls from 8am – 6pm CT Monday through Friday.

Detachable flexible sensor
The actual sensor is connected to the alarm by several feet of cable. This gives it greater versatility in placing the sensor wherever it would be most needed to detect the start of a water leak or water damage.
