Note: The sensor must be used with the GE 45129 Wireless Control Center or the GE 45142 Choice Alert Starter Kit (each sold separately). The GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor can work alongside other wireless Choice Alert components as part of a GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System.

Part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System
The GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor is part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System line of products. Cost-effective and easy to install, Choice Alert components offer wireless operation, multi-zone coverage, home and away settings, all-weather function, and expandability for complete home protection.

With wireless capabilities, Choice Alert products require no complicated wiring, drilling or expensive installation costs. And because they are designed to be part of a self-contained system, there are no monthly usage charges. System components are simple enough for anyone to use, and they can be combined to provide a customized blanket of protection over your entire property.

Wireless Control Center for Sensor Monitoring
The entire Choice Alert Security System is designed around the Wireless Control Center, the system's hub. The Control Center monitors each and every sensor that is wirelessly connected to it. As many as four sensors can be programmed in each of four zones, giving you the security of up to 16 sensors to guard your entire home, including sensors for doors, windows, gates, water leaks, and motion detection.

The Wireless Control Center allows you to secure your system with a custom four-digit code that can be changed at any time. Plus, the center lets you control many system features. For example, you can select 'Home' mode for an instant alarm and 'Away' mode for a delayed alarm. In addition to the armed alarm system, the Control Center also offers a visible and audible Zone Notification alert system (with a choice of continuous alert or single chime mode) and a dedicated alert zone (Zone 4). The center wirelessly transmits and receives signals up to 150 feet.

Additionally, the Wireless Control Center features a low-battery indicator that will alert you when battery power is low in a specific zone, so you'll know exactly when to replace the batteries in every one of your components.

Combine Components for Total Home Coverage
In addition to the Water Leak Sensor, there are several components available for use with the Wireless Control Center, including a door/window sensor, a motion detector, a secondary audio alarm siren, a signal repeater (for enhanced wireless range), a garage door sensor, and a Silent Alert LED indicator. Add up to 16 sensors and give yourself the peace of mind that only a complete home protection can provide.

Water Leak Sensor Quickly Diagnoses Seepage
With the GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor, costly water damage is a thing of the past. The 45133 will instantly detect water leaks with its probe, and it will report information back to the Choice Alert Wireless Control Center (sold separately) from up to 150 feet away. Determining a potential water leak before it causes costly damage is what makes the GE 45133 such a sensible and cost-effective component to add to your Choice Alert Security System.

Compact Sensor Is Easy to Install Anywhere
Install the GE 45133 Choice Alert Sensor anywhere that has the potential for water leaks, such as near a dishwasher, under the sink, by the water heater, or any other area that is at risk of water damage. Installation couldn't be easier; simply mount the sensor with the probe pointed down using either screws or double-sided tape (both included), and it will detect water accumulating in that area. Like all Choice Alert sensors, the GE 45133 Water Leak Sensor is wireless and will only function with the Choice Alert Wireless Control Center (sold separately).

This compact sensor weighs less than four ounces, and it's backed by a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars It works!, September 26, 2011

This review is from: GE 45133 Choice-Alert Wireless Water Leak/Flood Sensor (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have two of these 45133 units. One is in the basement next to a hot water heater. The other in in a bathroom underneath the sink. They both respond promptly and loudly to a thimble full of water. The console unit, based in the kitchen, will wake the dead when it goes off. The downstairs sensor is 2 years old and just had it's battery replaced. The upstairs sensor is three months old.

I read the other reviews for this item and wonder what is going on. There's nothing wrong with this product that I can find. I wonder whether others are having a problem following directions - who knows?

I plan to buy 4 more in the days and weeks ahead.

This product is good in theory but it does not perform. It took almost an hour for the alarm to go off while my basement was flooded with an inch of water. Don't waste your money.

Will NOT WORK alone. You also HAVE to buy the control panel for this thing to work. It cost another @ $20 bucks.
