Website has test results. My before n after results are significantly positive. Love the device.

Just water but I believe they say it works. It's inexpensive so maybe try it

The test will just tell you if there is any in the water or none, that's pretty much it. If you need a clear answer you need to have the tested by a local lab. Some pool stores actually test well water for you if you ask them and their results are a little more accruate than this testing but of course not as detailled as what you would get from a lab.

My water flow is unaffected. I'd say something isn't right. I really don't know

It installs like a standard Z-Wave device, include it to your controller and set up a rule to alert you if it detects water. The water detection is accomplished with two metal probes, meaning it would need to touch the water.

I am not a plumber. I do not believe this tool will tell you the source of the water inflow, just the moisture level that is present where you can reach it with the probes on the device. You can test the areas along the wall above the floor and in other areas where the wall meets the floor and maybe deduce which areas are worse or better to try and isolate the problem area.

No, it just measures conductivity and displays the results as total dissolved solids. Pure water does not conduct electricity and will read zero TDS. My tap water reads 130 and after the RO filter it reads 002.

Ed jones beat me to it with his response. The type of water filtered varies in the field every time. In a lab, not very useful. But I agree with you there should be some type of standard test. Maybe there is?

According to my manual it says: This instrument does not directly measure an individual's total body water content.

The unit comes with a little plastic water measure. Use this to measure the amount of water needed. It works perfectly. Just follow the meaasure accurately. Good luck and greetings from Colombia.EDUARDO

Mine doesn't work. Power is not sufficient to water pick your mouth. Try smelling water from shower in a glass. If it is the device, I would return it. Mine doesn't smell. Melissa

This device is intended to measure the temperature of surfaces, as walls, floors, ceilings and such. IF you had a warm wall with cold water leaking behind it, OR a cold wall with hot water leaking behind it, the device may be able to detect that, but I certainly wouldn't want to guarantee that. If you have water leaking behind a wall, it would seem as you should see some puddling, weeping, or evidence of water in the area ??Russ Pratt, Webster, MA

Hi! It should, but I haven't checked yet. I would need to send the water for examination which is not cheap as I haven't find any other cheaper way to do it. If I will have some results, I will try to update the review.

Yes. It runs on a pressure switch that isn't sensitive enough to detect less than an inch or two of water. Depending on how high it's lifting water, a little can get past the check valve leaving you with some in the sink. A better valve might help. I wired an AC relay in parallel so I can operate it by a push button switch switch when I want to get it empty.

You can't test the water right away. Have give it time to circulate. About 1 hour later you can check and you should have results.

No question is silly. It has a built in thermometer that keeps the water temperature at 78 degrees. So make sure you have a thermometer in the tank, if you see the temperature of your water is too low that'll tell you it's not working. If the temperature stays at around 78 and above it's working.

It is not possible to answer the question unless you have a similar situation. Most times users attach the device directly to the spigot which is not under water. For me the device works fine. The cost is so little just buy one and find out!
