THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG Glentronics, Inc. BWD-HWA 00895001498 High Water Alarm, Pack of 1, Multi

Had a defroster plugged which caused water to leak under my fridge. The water alarm was loud and let me know something was wrong. I recommend buying many of these and putting them under any water source. May 26-2016, Unit is now 2/2. Caught a leak under the kitchen sink. Turns out the pull out hose from the faucet developed a leak. No water damage because it was caught quickly. I have 8 of these scattered across the house and all it took was one to justify the cost for all of them.

THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG Model BWD-HWA 110 dB Battery Operated Water Alarm, has been an excellent addition to my home safety setup. This water alarm is perfect for placing next to water heaters, next to the dishwasher or laundry room, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, and by AC drain pans. It saved me big from a leaking water heater! The alarm is powered by a 9v battery, which makes it very convenient to install anywhere without worrying about electrical outlets. The 110 dB alarm is loud and ensures that you can hear it from anywhere in the house, giving you peace of mind that you will be alerted to any leaks or water issues promptly. One of the standout features of this product is its extended cable, which allows you to place the sensor separately from the main device. This is incredibly useful for those hard-to-reach spots where leaks are most likely to occur but where placing the entire device might be impractical. Make sure to test it periodically by touching the two sensors with a finger. I also write the date of installation on the battery and change it once a year. With the cost of insurance and labor going up, don't skip on this economical and reliable home protection device! Overall, THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG Model BWD-HWA is a reliable and effective water alarm. It's easy to set up, provides a loud and clear alert, and offers the flexibility to position the sensor in the most critical locations. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to protect their home from potential water damage.

No es estético pero cumple su función. Ojalá que hagan versiones más estéticas.

My home was built in 2000. Unfortunately, the builder used the cheapest plumbing materials they could get. As a result, I experienced an extensive water damage event in 2003. After my home was repaired, I wanted to do something to help protect myself from future issues. So, I got several of these Watchdog Water Alarms and placed them in key locations like the bathrooms, the laundry room, and the kitchen. I've added additional alarms over the years to cover every potential leak spot I could think of. I now have 14 of these alarms in my home. Well... This week, they paid for themselves! I was in my home office, on a conference call, and I heard an unfamiliar noise. I ignored it for a couple of minutes but eventually excused myself from the call so that I could investigate the noise. Within another few minutes, I had tracked it down to the kitchen, then to the cabinet under the sink. When I opened the cabinet doors, the problem was clearly evident. The supply shut off valve to the faucet was spraying a small stream of water. The bottom of the cabinet was wet, but nothing that I couldn't mop up with a few towels. The only casualty was a box of dishwasher detergent. Other than that, there was no harm done thanks to the alarm. Without the alarm, there's no telling how long the leak would have gone or how much damage would have been done. Now that is great, but something else about these alarms amazed me. Having the alarm trigger reminded me that I couldn't remember the last time I had changed the battery. So I picked up every alarm and checked them. The battery in the alarm that triggered had a shelf date of 2011 -- That's 14 years ago! And that means that I hadn't changed the battery since at least 2011. --Shame on me. But the alarm still did its job! As I changed the batteries in all of the alarms, I tested them by placing them on a damp paper towel. Every one of them sounded the alarm. Even the one with a battery dated 2008 (17 years ago). --Double shame on me. ;-) --I've learned my lesson and set myself a reminder task to change those batteries in a few years. So bottom line, would I recommend the Watchdog Water Alarm to a friend? ABSOLUTELY! And without hesitation!
