## Overview

The Basement Watchdog High Water Alarm by Glentronics is a highly sensitive water detection device that triggers a loud 110 dB alarm when it senses as little as 1/32 inch of water. Featuring solid-state circuitry for reliable performance, it includes a 6-foot sensor wire that can be extended over 100 feet to cover large areas. Powered by a 9-volt battery (not included), it continuously alerts for 2-3 days to ensure you never miss a leak, protecting your home from costly water damage.

## Description

Water damage is one of the main ways that the value of a home can be diminished. Accidents will happen! Water heaters break down and water pours out, washing machines overflow, pipes wear thin and leak - and when these things happen, water will start to destroy your home. Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of water damage is that it can occur with almost no sound - you may not know you have a leak until your basement is flooded! Now, you can minimize the risk of water damage with this Water Alarm. The Water Alarm requires only a 9-volt battery (battery not included), and when placed on the floor it can detect water that is only 1/32"deep! This is thanks to solid state circuitry which is highly reliable. The Water Alarm also has a 6-foot sensor wire, so that you can extend it into a sump pump, or simply mount it on a wall to stretch it to another location. Plus, up to an additional 200 feet of wire can easily be spliced in to provide extra length. When the Water Alarm detects water it emits a loud 110 decibel alarm (as loud as most car horns)! And don't worry that you will miss this alarm if you are out of the house when water is first detected - the Water Alarm will sound continuously for 2-3 days (depending on existing battery life). Consider one for the basement, one for the kitchen, the bathroom, or anywhere that water may become a hazard. Keep your home safe and secure with the Water Alarm. Assembly level/degree of difficulty: No Assembly Required.

Review: I tested the watchdog several times, worked perfect !.. hope I never hear that alarm again ... lol ... I will buy again
Review: Simple, inexpensive, and works. Saved our finished basement, or at least a lot of headache. Detected a water heater leak, with a loud enough buzzer that we heard it across the house and investigated. Caught it at a small leak before spreading, shut off the water to the heater, and got it replaced. Otherwise it would likely have been weeks or longer until we discovered the leak.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you splice in more wires to create a dual sensor using the one box?  Want to put 1 box and 2 sensors in a tight location.**
A: For the price, why splice wires, the leads can be extended to 6 feet.  What I would recommend is to place the sensor on a sheet of paper towel.  Any moisture will wick up to the contacts.  Also you can cover a bigger area where just a corner of the paper towel will transfer the liquid by capillary action to the contacts.

**Q: is it easy to reset**
A: To reset all you have to do is dry the leads and it will stop alarming. Please contact us directly if you are in need of further assistance at 800.911.0466 ext 3. We are open M-F 9-5 CST and would love to assist you.

**Q: if the battery is low, will it give you some sort of audible/intermitten beep warning (like a smoke alarm)?**
A: I am going to buy this and a 9v battery eliminator that plugs in(about $10). Never have to worry about batteries. If a Sump is involved maybe a very small UPS could be a solution(about $30). There is a mini ups on Amazon. You can get a 9v battery clip and wire up. 
Good 9V batteries aren't cheap either.
 Consider what repairs could cost.

**Q: what is size of sensor**
A: 2-1/2" X 1" X 1/8" plastic plate.  there are 2 metal discs a little smaller than a dime fixed to that plate. There is a 10 feet long wire would up inside the case that attaches the sensor to the case. The case has 2 holes on the back to mount on wall if you want to do that. There are two mounting holes in the sensor plastic plate if you want to mount that, such as with any tiny screws you happen to have. The instructions say you can splice up to 100 feet of wire onto the 10 feet wire in order to have the alarm somewhere far away from where the sensors are placed. Teeny tiny wire is OK to use since the voltage is only 9 volts.
