Zircon Leak Alert

Undetected water can cause thousands of dollars in damage. Place a Leak Alert water detector anywhere the potential for flooding or leaks exist.

The Leak Alert WiFi provides a loud audio alert to homeowners, renters, business owners, and property managers alike. Be alerted to water leaks as soon as one is detected.

No Wires. No Hassle.

The Leak Alert has two external metal sensing contacts running a mild electrical current. When both strips get wet, through a plumbing leak, flood, or surrounding moisture condensing on the surface, the electrical circuit will complete, and the alarm will sound.

The Leak Alert detector is not a one-time use device. Each time the sensing contacts make contact with moisture and the alarm sounds, simply dry the contacts. Return the detector to its location or choose a new location as needed.

All that is needed to operate the tool is a fresh 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date.

1. Install the Battery

Install a new 9V alkaline battery in your Leak Alert. Just like your smoke detectors, the battery in a Leak Alert should be changed on an annual basis at minimum. For additional security, the unit will chirp if the battery is running low and will float in the event of a flood.

2. Placement

Place a Leak Alert in any location where there is a potential for water damage and flooding such as in the:

- Bathroom

- Laundry Room

- Kitchen

- Basement

- Garage

3. Respond to Alarm

Lay the Leak Alert flat with the metal contacts facing down and touching the surface. When the Leak Alert's metal sensing contacts come into contact with water, a loud 90 dB alarm sounds for up to 72 hours. The alarm is as loud as your standard smoke detector. In the event of a severe flood, the Leak Alert floats and continues to sound an alarm until the battery is depleted. To minimize property damage, respond to the alarm as quickly as possible.

Question: Do I need to plug the Leak Alert into an outlet?

Answer: No, The Leak Alert only requires a brand new 9V alkaline battery with an extended expiration date.

Q: Are the Leak Alert water detectors reusable once they’ve been activated?

A: Yes, they can be reused after the two exterior metal sensor contacts are fully dried. Be sure to remove the battery, wipe the detector’s contacts, and let it air dry for minimum of 24 hours.

Q: My basement and garage can get very cold during the winter. Will my Leak Alert still function in that environment?

A: The tool operates between 20° and 105°F and can be stored, when not in use, between 20° and 150°F.

Q: How loud is the alarm?

A: The alarm is 90 dB, which is the same volume, or louder a standard smoke detector.

Q: Does the Leak Alert work on damp carpet?

A: Yes, if the spacing of the carpet fibers are close enough and the two exterior metal sensing contacts are in direct contact with the wet carpet, the detector should sound its alarm.

User questions & answers

User questions & answers

Question:	How many sensors can be hooked up
Answer:	We recommend not to exceed 50 ft of sensors. Each sensor is 9 feet in length so you can have a total of 5 sensors attached together for this unit.
Question:	Is there a reason none of these are listed for toilets
Answer:	Sounds like your protecting against toilet leaks or overflow while you are gone for extended periods. If you have a shutoff valve at your toilet, you could probably remove that valve and adapt the pipe or tube supplying the toilet to work with the LeakSmart valve (compression-to-threaded pipe or threaded pipe-to-correct size of LeakSmart valve). You'd have to deal with the wires and ensure power. (As an alternative, since many shutoff valves have plastic stems that can break from using them often or when they freeze up from calcium build-up , I replaced our toilet shutoff with a metal stemmed 1/4 turn shutoff valve and just turn it off when gone for extended periods.)
Question:	Can battery be used as a prime power source
Answer:	yes you can use battery as your main source of power but if you do not check them or hear the low battery warning then your up the creek .water everywhere. do not see why you would want to do this.there has to be an outlet somewhere nearby.use an extension .by the way this is a great system .glad i found it .no more overfilled washing machine flooding my floor. and best of all it checks itself every 22 hours.smart.you can also make extra sensors with a peace of plastic and 2 small bolts and some thin wire.i made 3 extras and now my whole laundry room is protected.
Question:	Would this valve trip automatically and need a manual reset if the power goes out? That way I wouldn't lose prime on the well if the water's running
Answer:	The wired unit will not close in a power loss event. The valve is gear driven , not a solenoid type valve that requires power for a normally open or closed position. The unit takes 4 AA batteries for a battery backup for protection during a power outage. If you have any additional questions, we would be happy to assist at [email protected].

Product description

Prevent flood damage and avoid costly repairs with the easy-to-install, newly designed Lead free Water Heater Auto-Shutoff Valve. This system not only detects leaks early, but it automatically shuts your water off in the event of a leak, alerting you with the control panel's alarm. Designed for both residential and commercial dwellings. The FloodStop (FS 3/4-NPT) kit automatically shuts off the water supply to the Water Heater and sounds an alarm, leaving all other household fixtures and appliances operational. This kit includes everything you need to protect your property from costly water-leak damage: Motorized Full-Port Ball Valve (3/4 inch NPT pipe threaded), a water sensor to be placed on the floor, and the control unit, which is mounted to your wall with the included screws. A power supply is included; you need to also install four AA batteries (not included) for backup power, unit will beep to alert you of low or no batteries. The controller has “one” output contact (normally open) that can be attached to a dialer or security system so you can be alerted to a leak when not home! You can even add multiple water sensors for different areas around your water heater. If your water heater should begin to leak, the controller tells the water valve to close and alerts you with an 87db alarm.

• Prevent Water Damages - This automatic shut off valve will trigger when a leak is detected from your water heater, potentially preventing 200+ gallons of water leaking into your home.
• Easy To Install - The FloodStop valve is installed between the water heater and the manual shutoff valve; can be installed in fifteen minutes.
• Sensor At Base Of Heater - The sensor part of this system is placed at the base of the water heater. As long as the sensor stays dry, the valve will stay open permitting water to flow through to the heater.
• Immediate Shutdown - Once the leak sensor at the base of the heator senses moisture, the valve will immediately close off all water flow and sound alarms.
• Certified Lead Free - Certified lead free under S. 3874, AB1953 with a One Year Manufacturer's Warranty.

Answer:	Yes they come with new cloth inserts
Question:	If there is problem with the unit can it be opened manualy
Answer:	They are very easy to install, only need 4 steps, and we also upload video to teach you how to replace bose ear pads, you can check this in detail page
Question:	Is there an indication (light etc.) if the unit is running only on batteries but not on AC power
Answer:	No it will not fit on ear headphones
Question:	Replaced the batteries twice with new Duracell’s. The unit is back online, and the valves work, no moisture, but we still get a beep every 60 sec
Answer:	Dear customer, Sorry for the late reply, the dimentions are as Mr W H Sherlock mentioned, "20mm Deep, 77mm wide at widest part, 98mm long at longest dimension, 21mm seal width". I think if your headphone is among the compatible-product-list, they will fit. If you have any problem of these ear pads, please contact us and we will try our best to help. Thanks BR
