Summary: 4 Stars
It's difficult to review a product you hope you never need to use. However, due to some significant water in an unepected area of my basement I bought two of these alarms to supplment the one existing sensor that is tied to the monitored house alarm system. Installation was a snap--just a few minutes for both. I tested each by putting the moisture-sensing prongs in a very shallow dish of water, and both emitted a piercing sound that was audible upstairs. (There's also a more delicate "musical" option which had a limited range.) If my new gutters and other minor changes to my landscaping work, I hope never to hear the alarms again. But I have made a note in my PDA to check the batteries every six months and to test them when I do. For $13 each, these seem like cheap insurance and are highly suited for those lower areas of a basement where flooding could happen but is least likely. For the riskiest areas, if any, I would recommend an alarm tied to a monitored alarm system as floods or broken pipes can happen during your absence. Overall, this is a good product:.Reliance Controls THP205 Sump Pump Alarm and Flood Alert.Customer Review: Works but be aware of the placement
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this to identify if a crock pump fails and the water rises. If this is placed in a sealed or near sealed vessel such as a crock or sump pit, condensation will make this have false alarms. I was able to drop this into a floor drain, as if the crock I'm monitoring stops, the water will rise past the trap and fill the drain. I have it a few inches below flor level so I can catch it before there's a mess. Since the drain is open on the top this sensor works fine as condensation does build but not enough to set it off. The cord on the sensor is about 3 feet long so it works nice in this application. The sound is not extremely loud but fair. Overall it is doing the job and I haven't seen anything similar that is better...
Customer Review: Cheap but effective
Summary: 4 Stars
This cheap but effective alarm works perfect for my sump pump. It has 2 types of tones: music or siren. The siren is louder which is needed to hear it from upstairs in a 2 story house. I do not have a finished basement so I do not know if it would be loud enough if i did. However I am satisfied with the product fully.
