SABRE Wired Water Leak and Flood Detection Alarm Sensor

ACEDACED: I'm writing this almost two years later from originally purchasing and have to say hands down it is the best investment to make to avoid costly repair bill from water damage. In our case the water heater is in an upstairs closet that wouldn't take long for water to flood out. Once I heard the alarm I knew immediately what had happened and ran to the water heater. To control the leak. I highly recommend this to everyone!

Arminder: This water leakage alarm is a must for my basement and is tends to flood quite a bit, the installation is easy, just take out the board that is in the battery and it will be on, the alarm comes with 3M tape so you can hang it on the wall or on a furniture and the wire with the sensor can hang down into the water drain.
The moment the sensor gets wet it will trigger and it will be loud!
I check the battery every 6 months, so far seems to be replaced once a year.

Annonymous: So far, no leaks; however, I am confident I will hear the alarm sound if/when it does leak.

DWSDWS: We bought 5 of these in 2020 and installed them immediately: one in the second floor laundry room by the washer, 1 under the kitchen sink where the dishwasher hook up is, and 3 in the bathrooms. They take 2 AAA batteries and as of January 2023 (so 2.25 years later), all AAA batteries still read as fully charged (using a rough analog battery tester). We installed them on the wall using the included adhesives but the one on the washing machine got knocked off so we just left it on the floor by the washer (as seen in the photo).

The reason I know this is that I checked them all after one of these went off. The washer draining hose somehow came detached from the wall area when the washer discharged its water it drained directly onto the floor. The laundry room has a floor drain but it did little to divert the water which was being expelled from the hose.

If the alarm had not gone off, we would not have noticed until water started dripping down the stairs - as it was, we caught it within 15 seconds and after shutting the washer off we were able to clean up the mess with towels.

If we had not had this device, we would have had soaked carpets in the hall leading off...

M. Lee: This is used to detect water in the basement next to the water softener. The adhesive that came with it seems mediocre, fell off when placed on the side of the softener, placed it back again and seems good so far. The tester light to ensure it's operating is good, also tested by applying a slightly damp cloth under the 2 prongs and rang off...loud which the loudness was set on high. Ears were ringing afterwards. Used the on/off switch to stop the sound. People in the house said it can be heard on the first floor at medium level, likely on the 2nd floor could be barely audible. There are no doors blocking the floors which aids in sound moving around. For the price, it does what it's supposed to, hopefully won't hear it at all as it was placed after the fact of the unit flooding the basement. May consider using a Ring like mobile alert as a secondary backup.
One negative is that the cord from alarm to prong to detect the water is really short, a few inches at best. Not a huge deal but if it can be 6" at least that allows some wiggle room to place the alarm and prongs in optimal locations where space could be a concern.

BC: I've tried a wide variety of water alarms over the years and this is by far my favorite. Key features include:

- When activated, the alarm latches and the alarm continues to sound even if the water contact was momentary. All other alarms I've tried stop as soon as the water is removed.

- There is an on/off switch. The switch is needed to turn off the alarm and is also used when the alarm does not need to be ready, when moving or storing.

- The alarm level can be set to either LOUD or VERY LOUD.

- There is a test button that indicates if the alarm is on and active and the battery is OK. This feature alone is worth the price of admission.

- The wired probe is not as convenient to deploy if all you need to do is detect if there is water on the floor or in a container. There are units that  like this one  which are good for a set-and-forget situation for catching a leak on a basement floor. But the separate probe makes this unit much more versatile in placement. For example the probe could be placed inside of a drip catch tray while the control unit is located in a convenient location for controlling the alert.

- The alert sound is a...
