can this device check the leakage of water behind the wall ?
2061044
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

If it is hot water the wall propably is quite warm near the leakage on a pretty large area. In that case B&D of course might detect the leakage. B&D and other thermal leak detectors only measures the temperature of a surface.

It will measure air pressure, positive and negative. It doesn't actually measure water in an appliance or other devices. To better understand wc measurements go to google and research how to make a homemade water column tester using tubing.

doubtful. this stuff only works for a short time, then the leak will re-develop. Especially, if leak is at an increased pressure point.

There is a wire from the alarm itself that goes to a probe that can be placed in things like a sump pump but I do not use that; that wire comes with the alarm. I set the alarm on the floor where I am at risk and then hook up my own phone line from the alarm to the wall jack so it will call me if water is detected. phone wire is not supplied but I have tested the process and it works well so I am confident that I will know if a problem develops

It measures electrical leakage from electrical devices. This shows bad connections or poorly designed products.

It uses the same technology however it is different due to the fact that this device makes real time calculations within the device.The display will change colors from these calculations determining if you have a leak.

very possible, perhaps before that, disconnect hot water line and see your water line flow before the faucet

No, all this does is shut off incoming water from the faucet. If draining and the drain is clogged, there will be water on the floor. To faciliate this, another type of sensor will be needed.

Water will flow through the unit until the sensor detects a leak. There is an audible alarm then as well as a flashing light. There is no water flow then.

There is a check valve between the basepump and the sump well. If something does go wrong, the house water will be directed outside the house.

Yes, get the "sight glass" accessory. It's a glass tube on the outside of the chamber that displays the water level inside the chamber.

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

As best as I can tell, no. I tested with a small amount of water and it didn't leak through.

Off hand I would say no as it needs to hit something to read it i.e. walls, furniture , floors etc. However it probably can locate the source of the draft by its readings. For example I located a corner of the door leaking air by its 20 degree drop in temp. I have also used it to check the oven temp and the surface of hot liquids such as coffee. I use it more often than I thought I would.

My guess would be yes. You definitely would have to monitor the water level, though. The maximum water depth is around 11 1/2 inches on my device, which I frequently use in a five gallon plastic bucket.

My experience is that the sensor must be very close to the transmitted signal. My opinion is it would not work for cable behind wallboard, etc. Could be a help in sorting out cables you can touch.

If it's not installed right, of course leakage is possible. Have a professional install it for you.
