Description of Zircon Leak Alert Electronic Water Detector, 1-PackThe first step to preventing water damage to your home is finding out when and where the water is entering the house. That?s often easier said than done, unless you?ve installed the Zircon 64003 Water Detector Electronic Water Alarm. For less than you?d pay for two fast-food meals, you could buy yourself year-round protection and peace of mind?and possibly prevent thousands of dollars in water damage, not to mention increases in your homeowner?s insurance.The battery-operated unit has an automatic sensor that emits a loud, piercing alarm?similar to a smoke detector?s?when it comes in contact with water. Simply place the alarm near a washing machine, inside of a sump pump pit, on floor of a basement or crawlspace, or wherever you suspect water entry. This compact, set-it-and-forget-it alarm is only slightly larger than a deck of cards, and it?s powered by a 9-volt battery (not included). -- Joseph Truini What?s in the Box Zircon 64003 water detector water alarm REVIEW:

UPDATE - Feb. 2010
Still working and alerted me to a water spill I made when pouring a pail of water into our basement utility sink.
Having experienced a time or two when rinse water from our washing machine drain spilled over, I eagerly bought two of the Zircon Water Detector Alarms when I saw them. My advice to you is buy one - NOW! - before the same thing happens to you! The alarm is loud enough to alert you at the start of any water emergency. While an ounce of protection is said to be worth a pound of cure, in my book an ounce of protection is worth ten buckets of cure! Even though we were wading through clean rinse water, it was no picnic, and since we usually rinse our clothes twice, we had twice the amount of water to deal with!
Now, unless you are the rare bird who keeps only your laundry appliances in your basement and nothing else, you know it's not a fun task to pick up and dry all of the things you store there! Believe me, I would have paid somebody twice the price of the alarm to clean up the soggy aftermath! Soaking up water is no picnic! I gratefully used my wet/dry to suck up the water, went to empty it out and spilled some right back on the floor! At that point I wondered what made me think I needed such a big vac! Keep that in mind for future reference should you need to purchase one! I have since purchased the Shop-Vac Hang Up Pro 5-Gallon 4.5 HP Wet/Dry Wall Mounted Vac and recommend it as being much easier to handle. I wish I would have bought these water alarms sooner. Now I keep one by the drain and one by the hot water tank. I am also going to buy these alerts as Christmas gifts for those who have sump pumps. If I can save someone else from having to deal with the mess of water cleanup then my mess will have been worth it. Well, almost!
Of course, it was 5 in the morning and I was still half asleep when I innocently stepped into our basement wading pool! I remember the moment well, bare feet, cold water, eyes snapping open and then the sound of my groan! After that, well, it's probably best I stop there! ~ The Boss
