This smart sensor is the best all around water sensor I have found.
I wanted something that:
- Makes an Immediate Sound
- Sends Me a Text Message when It Detects Water
- No Monthly or Yearly Fee
We Learned the Hard Way
We were home and didn't know our basement was filling with water! I went downstairs to start cleaning out the file cabinet. Found out quick it was already done for me!
We now have two Zircon Leak Alerts. One by our hot water heater and one by our sump pump. Now no matter if we are home when a leak happens or away we will find out before we lose our files or anything else!
How to Set Up Zircon Leak Alerts
Zircon made a great video on how to set up the alert is here. I have not made my own video yet but the companies video is very good except for they don't tell you how to have it sent text messages.
