I have over flowed my laundry room sink as it does not have a over flow outlet. can I use this in the sink at a certain level to tell me the water is

Yes you can, but you will have to have some way to secure it in the sink at the level you want to have the alarm beeping start.

Not totally sure what you are asking. If there are even a few drops of water in the sink, the Leak Frog will sound an alarm. It's not adjustable to a "certain level".

Yes you can use the leak frog. I have not had any leakage since I got my frog so I have to test it every once in a while. Very little water will set it off. I keep them under sinks and the hot water heater. They work great and the sound will wake you up. I recommend them.

As soon as water comes in contact with the Leak Frog the alarm will scream. Twice I've had them go off at different locations and there was barely any water under them. These little guys are fantastic. Put a piece of tape on them and write the date you changed the batteries so you keep them fresh and don't forget.

Securing it to the sink at the desired level would be the challenge. If you are willing to try and take one apart, you might be able to slim the form factor down to something that would secure to the side of the sink more reliably.

I attached it to the laundry sink....don't know about the kitchen, as that would depend on what type of faucet it has.

There is a slot to allow water to drain out. I generally hang the open area over the sink for drainage so water does not get on the counter and I tilt it to make sure all water is drained. When using with double sink, I leave in sink but tilt it slightly to ensure drainage after all dishes are washed. Hope this helps.

For a small sink or something yes. Not for any quantity of area water reliably.

This sink is only for under mount installation. I will not recommend over counter installation.

No. You only use water in this unit. Go to Homedics site and they can verify this question for you.

I have three of these in my vacation home to detect water leaks. It it meant for indoor use to be placed on a flat surface. It has two metal electrodes that when sitting in water completes a circuit. If you placed it outdoors It may or may not work but it would surely malfunction if left exposed for any length of time.

It can be used for any situation where you would want to be warned of high water before it actually gets too high especialy for a Sewage basin. I myself had my sewage pump go out & had no alarm to warn me of the problem so I could of shut off any waste water entering the basin. End result was a mess in the basement with a big bill for the pump plus the clean up. Worry free now with the alarm installed.

Yes it can. I don't have the problem myself, but another method would be to reduce the pressure at the shut off valves under your sink. Start turning them down till you have the desired pressure at the faucet.

Yes! Open the top where you put the water and you'll see a step ladder water level indicator. Easy!!

This model has only one outlet (cold water only). I use it for filtered water only (it is hooked upto a filtration cannister.) It is for drinking water only and not suitable to fill a sink to wash dishes as it would take too long.

nope there is another unit that goes under the sink. This is above sink model.

Offhand, not really, but you could check for kinks in the lines. Sometimes also when turning the water off at the source, it doesn't come all the way back if the plumbing is old.

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.

Yes. You can but make sure your drain is 1-5/8" and has overflow systems. If you dont have overflow system in your sink then you should consider a model without overflow. This is important and will be hard to seal the bottom if your sink drain hole depth is smaller to cover the overflow hole.

Don't know for sure, but I have not had any issues, my sink is LEVEL...I love it. I also choose a wire rack to place in sink. You do have to clean wire rack often. But one should...

Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring. It keeps the sink off the counter top, it is aesthetically pleasing and it helps to clean under the sink. The vessel sink sits on top of the mounting ring. As far as an overflow is concerned, you would use a drain with overflow only if your sink has an overflow. It depends entirely on the type of sink you are using. Usually, vessel sinks do not have an overflow, whereas under mount and drop in sinks do. So I suggest you check your sink. Hope this helps. I will add that this is a very good quality drain. I have two in my house. Thanks. Hi: If you are using a vessel sink, it is a good idea to use the mounting ring.
