Can someone check and see if this sounds the alarm when submerged in RO/DI water? My other brand won't alarm in RO/DI water. Thanks

This alarm is crazy loud !!! Even set at low. And to answer your question it's yes to both.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

If you added salt to the water,it was too much. The alarm sounds when the amps are too high. And, no you don't need to wet the wrist band. The supplier was very helpful. You can contact them. Since this unit isn't very powerful you can run it for 2 cycles -- an hour total.

I bought mine just about the same time and had the same problem...mine got wet and quit working, they are water resistant not proof. I switched over to a more expensive brand that says, "water proof" Petsafe 1000. The dogs swim in very deep water and they ARE water proof and still working great. They only beep and or shock. I did like the vibration part of those collars. Cheap is cheap...... Mona @ Grammas Doggy Daycare

I like it very much and it works...but it does give an accurrate temp..do not think you can turn alarm off but, if you just need to know temp..let it register and remove from water...alarm will then stop if sounding. I have also used a temp probe or thermometer to check water temp. Our granddaughter loves to play with this...she is 3 yrs old now.

This is exactly what I use it for - a utility room water alarm. By itself, it will sound an alarm. If you get the Ideal Security Base Unit (which I did), it will send a signal to this unit causing the unit to call you or any other designated phone number in case you are not home to let you know the sensor has been activated by water.

Our daughter's alarm went off once in her backpack...she was looking for something else when it happened. She has not had any other incidents when it went off unexpectedly.

No. I have had no trouble with my 2 Doberman alarms. You may want to check the battery. I make mine alarm every 2 weeks & so far so good. Hope this helps.

SOLVED!! My RO system made a gurgling/dropping sound for several minutes each time I used it. Tried all the suggestions I found to no avail. I finally solved the problem... The drain line, going into the sink drain, had a low spot. (The drain line had a section that sloped upward to the sink drain). I shortened the tubing by a couple of inches so the drain line now only slopes down. Problem solved!!!!!

Make sure the clamp is completely dry and open when you turn out on. if this doesn't keep the alarm from going off then contact customer sevice.

I have never experienced this situation. However, the instructions say that the alarm should be reset due to an abnormal or operation or previous alarm.

I have mine on sound alert and it does shut off. I use it for only one of my pills and still use the older one which I much better because it has inserts where you can fill the entire week with up to 4 different times. I din't understand why they discontinued it. Every one who saw mine wa ted to purcase one. Still, you will bepleazed with the one shown

From what I've been reading, previous to September 2014 there were issues with the alarm going off for no apparent reason. But that software has been updated and the problem has been resolved. I purchased 3 of the hard-wired ones the end of December 2014 installed them mid-January with no problems. I test all 3 the first day of every month as well. Great product!

I just bought this unit in December and I have the exact same problem. I love the unit. It is on my bedroom carpet so I am going to try to put a mat underneath it to see if that helps and I will try to change the water level a bit as another person suggested. My guess is that the water sensor works well and the system needs to be level. Someone else told me to put it up at the highest setting and that may help. I really don't want to have to replace it and its too late to return. It really is an awesome unit. Looks great too

No, the alarm is based on water displacement not water movement. Wind, waves or a pool cleaner shouldn't set it off. We never had problems with our pool cleaner setting off the alarm.

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

I strongly believe it WILL sound give your proposed scenario as long as you have adjusted the sensitivity level correctly. A tip: if yhe alarm seems like it is sounding too quickly/falsely, it is likely that water is trapped along the thin metal ring inside the circumference of the blue round part. A quick shake or two will remove this water. Also, I used a silver marker to make a couple of reference marks so I could better adjust it. One on the outside if the light blue top and another corresponding one on the outside of the black adjustment ring. Then you can easily see where you are in terms of sensitivity.
