will it detect septic tank gas in house
2079429
My manual say is a general purpose combustible gas detectors which may be used in a situation where a combustible gas, vapor or residue needs to be found. Some applications are : gas lines and pipes fuel in marine bilges exhaust and fuel leaks heat exchanger leaks liquid or gas fired heating systems propane filling stations check manholes for safety detect arson residue indoor air quality tests

I've only used it for automotive detection so far so I have no personal experience with other gasses but according to Fieldpiece it triggers on all CFCs HFCs and HCFCs with varying sensitivity. Here is their link for the SRL8 detector. http://fieldpiece.com/leak-a-gas-detectors/srl8

It works with both sewer and septic tanks.. All homes should have some kind of white pvc pipe that runs to the sewer. (Sometimes you have them in the front yard.. My first house had in the back.. but my new home has it in the front.) You would screw it that location.

It should alert you on your humidifier or dehumidifier. Other than that I don't know as it was for my brother not me.

The sensor that I bought measures temp, humidity and does leak detection. I use it in the laundry room and to monitor the AC system evap trap.

It will work, but very slow. Other products on the market are made specifically for out houses. Check their web site for full info. Works good for me in my 40 year old Septic tank.

Yes! The sensor goes inside the tank (holding/septic/other) and the alarm unit (noise unit) goes inside where you would hear it. If you were to place the alarm (noise unit) outside you can, but you would need to build a cover for it to keep the rain and snow off of it. As you know it also plugs in, so a GFCI outlet would be required for an exterior application. If you did not want to plug it in and just run on the 9VDC battery, you could do that at well and would sound if the tank sensor rises and closes the contacts. The alarm is very loud so depending on your needs and location, it might work for you to have the sound unit outdoors? Yes!

Yes. I used it in the garage which is well ventalated, but I detect no odor from it at all. Give it a few day to a week.

I believe it will but you have to measure the depth of your tank if you want the gauge to read accurately,I did just have a problem with it though, I believe the vent is bad on it because my tank started to build pressure and pushed gas back through the overflow in the carbs and I had gas all over the floor in my garage.

I'm no chemist, but I'd say likely not.It detects halogenated gases -- i.e., those with chlorine or fluorine. LPG gas is a non-fluorinated hydrocarbon mixture.There are inexpensive detectors that will work on LPG gas, and Amazon sells some of them.

The package says yes, but I don't have a septic tank so I have not tested this claim.

It detects all halogenated (contains Chlorine and Fluorine) refrigerants.This product is rebadged and sold under a number of makes.The manual for it is here: http://www.elenco.com/admin_data/pdffiles/WJL-6000.pdf

Not sure about the question. My detector was returned as it was defective as it kept saying 'service required'. I do not recommend this device or the company.

Yes, the detector will find gas wherever it is, it does not have to actually touch the connection. Of course it makes it easier to pinpoint the leak by getting as close as possible. I found a gas leak in a meter room and the leaking fitting was inaccessible, but the detector increased in volume and speed the closer I got to the leak. I also found a gas leak in my oven. The detector led me to a bad gas valve way down in back. I think this is a great product.

Yes, calibrate it away from the area to be tested. It will start to respond when you are near the leak then the response intensifies the closer you get to the leak. It samples combustible gases in the atmosphere, the closer you are to the leak the greater the amount of combustible gases.

Suggest calling the manufacture to see if it's safe to use with a septic system.

I believe so but I can't recall. I know my gas place purge it just to be sure.
