Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a review of the Flood Detective Water Leak Alarm.
Positives:
- Battery backup and LED readout functionality of sensors including daisy-chained second sensor functioned as per advertising and sensor appears to be corrosion resistant material.
- Battery insertion and general packaging design is aesthetically pleasing and sufficiently robust.
Negatives:
- Upon sounding the alarm, the amplitude produced is lower than expected. It emits a steady tone which is nowhere near that which is produced by a typical smoke detector. If you plan to use this in a larger house or with fairly high ambient noise you should look further. For example, I don't believe it will be possible to hear it from outside my house so
-Product instructions do not show how to connect the power plug from the a.c. adapter brick. There three connectors on the device. After plugging in the sensor into the female jack, the user can't tell which of the two remaining male jacks to plug the plug from the a.c. adapter brick. You must go to their website to discover which jack to plug the power plug in to. One wonders what happens if one had been impatient and chosen the wrong one. If in that case, one inserted into the the wrong jack and it caused either mechanical or electrical damage to the device, this could have serious ramifications.
- Upon visiting their website, you will discover that the mystery jack is for a non-existent user interface accessory (output) which could be used for the hearing impaired, etc. Unfortunately, apparently they don't sell any user interface accessory nor is there any information about the circuitry in the event one wishes to design their own.
All in all, I can only give this product a two star rating in consideration of the price paid and shortcomings noted however I will keep it in spite of these issues.
