Editorial Product Review:

Amazon.com Item Description:
The first step to preventing water damage to your home is finding out when and where the water is entering the house. That’s often easier said than done, unless you’ve installed the Zircon 64003 Water Detector Electronic Water Alarm. For less than you’d pay for two fast-food meals, you could buy yourself year-round protection and peace of mind—and possibly prevent thousands of dollars in water damage, not to mention increases in your homeowner’s insurance.

The battery-operated unit has an automatic sensor that emits a loud, piercing alarm—similar to a smoke detector’s—when it comes in contact with water. Simply place the alarm near a washing machine, inside of a sump pump pit, on floor of a basement or crawlspace, or wherever you suspect water entry. This compact, set-it-and-forget-it alarm is only slightly larger than a deck of cards, and it’s powered by a 9-volt battery (not included). -- Joseph Truini

Customer Rating: - Worked As Expected
We bought two of these alarms because water had been backing up in the sink and nearly overflowing in the basement due to blockage in a line on the street. The very first evening the devices worked and easily paid for themselves. As far as the issue with decible levels, I will say that there was a discernable difference in the loudness of one compared to the other. But, even on the second floor, we heard the weakest one without difficulty. Would it have woken us up in the middle of the night on the second floor. Maybe --- but I'm not sure. I do know that I would recommend the product to others.

Customer Rating: - Its an OK product, but I found a better one.
This one works pretty good but the battery life in mine didn't last long and the biggest problem is you almost need a puddle of water to have it go off. Great deal for $10 but I upgrade and spent a bit more ($30 - I know, expensive huh) and got a more durable/reliable one at http://www.thewateralarm.com

Customer Rating: - Well designed water undercounter detector
This little unit already saved me hundreds of $$$ in potential dry rot damage under my kitchen sink. It alerted me of a leaking spray hose that leaked only when used. The damage to the wood would have not been noticed for years.

One day it started beeping when there was no wetness. Turns out it has a low battery alarm! It's designed for bathrooms and kitchens as it is a small compact unit with no remote sensor.

For the size, design, and price I give it 5 stars. It's not designed for basements or large areas where you need remote sensors. It's also not a smoke alarm intended to get you out of bed.

Customer Rating: - Good water detector
The water detector seems like it should work fine. It has been tested and it works. Good description.
