Does this have the capability to also be a water-leak alarm? (I heard the Reliance THP-202 has an add-on that can do this.)

The answer is no but a simple solution is to just shut the water off in your home whenever you leave the house for more than a day.

It can be set up as a low water alarm, but the remote alarm application would require a modification not intended by the manufacturer...which doesn't make it impossible, but you'll have to do it yourself, and potentially void any warranty.

UPDATE: Craig, While I have not yet installed the Water Siren, I see no provision in the manual for disabling the 90db audible alarm. As Michael suggests, you could use duct tape, or you could stuff an old bucket with rags and invert it onto the Water Siren. From the manual, you could call Control Products Customer Service at 1-800-880-6000 and see if they have better advice or a product that better meets your needs. / Pete

Yes they can. Although the dial out when it alarms is vague about whether the water or motion is alarming. It tells you the current temperature and if the power is on, but if the water or motion is alerted then it only says something like "accesory alert". Still an awesome set up.

Yes, and yes. There is a very loud speaker built into the base unit that sounds if the alarm is triggered, and I can hear it from anywhere inside, outside, and around the house when it goes off. Additionally, there is a log you can view on the device itself that shows every door opening/closing, window opening/closing, sensor tripping, etc. And, when a sensor triggers a change, it shows that in real time on the display. Very handy when testing and setting things up, too!

As a Civil Engineer I specify this for sewage pumping chambers as a high water alarm if the pump fails. It goes in the pump tank, not the septic tank.

It has a Water Detection Sensor that you can add. It has a phone cord and phone cord jack in the unit that it plugs into. Not sure if your sump pump switch would be compatible. But phone cord is cheap and you can run additional cord if needed from the unit to the sump and use the sensor. That way it wouldn't alarm every time your sump kicked in, but rather would only alarm if the sump ran over onto the floor. The sensor is worth the extra $ if it doesn't come with the unit you buy. I have one that has been in service for 3 or 4 years and still works flawlessly. I will say this unit is more dependable then some others on the market. Beware.

it will beep "alarm" when the water is absorbed/eggs are done. you don't need to worry about the time/measuring the water because there are lines on the bottom where you put the water that are marked "soft/hard" whatever you prefer, you just fill the water up to the mark. the chirping/beeping when it's done will continue until you unplug the unit. no on/off as soon as you plug it in it is on. I hope I gave you all the info you needed! I loved this thing, mine finally died after using it every week for almost 2 years, I bought a different one and I regret it!

Yes, but the sensor has to be placed where the water would flow. There also has to be a phone jack in that area so the control unit can send out the the water alarm.

This unit doesn't need much of a warranty as one could test it by placing a few drops of water over the sensor. It should start blasting loudly. If it alerts someone just once to water (where it shouldn't be) then it's worth its meager price of about $10. It is a very useful device in monitoring unwanted leakage from water heaters, frozen pipes, or seeping foundations. It is well worth the investment.

It is another siren. Its like haveing a extra speaker. I have one that goes off in my house and this one is for out side on my system. They work off the same alarm. My alarm is set up inside the house. Thats were it is tripped from. I hope this helps.

Yes. This device is remarkable. The sensitivity is almost like magic. I would highly recommend this detector to be used by EVERYONE, regardless of whether or not you think you might have a problem with water leaks. Under you lavatory vanities, kitchen sink cabinet, close to your water heater. The product is very affordable and requires no installation. It is virtually unnoticeable until it detects a leak. Once the alarm goes off, there will be no question in anyone's mind that there is a problem. Get some and prevent a very costly water intrusion experience.

It does not appear to have an alarm. I never looked into that feature until this question arose, but I did not find an alarm setting in a quick perusal and there are no alarm buttons on the unit itself. Further, a search of the .pdf manual for "alarm" found zero hits.

Hi, There's not an alarm on mine. I've had it for over a year so maybe it's not the newest model?

Unfortunately yes. That is one way to vlear the unit after an alarm. According to the manufacturer when you plug it back in the alarm (which is different from the wetness alarm) indicates that it is active. Hope this helps.

There is a battery powered small alarm in the filter unit...intended to beep when the filters need replacement. If you don't want the alarm/reminder, just take out the battery. Have had this unit now for four months after a kitchen remodel. Love it! Small under the sink, and great tasting water. Suz in Tucson.
