There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Just three weeks before Christmas disaster struck. Our humidifier system failed and flooded our first floor utility room and dining room. We dreaded the amount of work and aggravation that lay ahead of us (we had gone through a similar crisis just 2 1/2 years before when our water heater died and we knew what we were in for). Moving heavy dining room furniture, pulling up wet rugs, ripping out soaked padding, baseboards, sheetrock walls and fiberglass insulation, days of drying everything out with industrial dehumidifiers and fans, then repairing, replacing, painting, and moving all the furniture back in place we got the house together just two days before Christmas. I decided then and there this will never happen to us again. I went to Amazon.com, did my research, read the reviews and decided to order the Leak Frog LF001 Water Alarm. I received the Leak Frog just in time to wrap him up as a Christmas gift for my wife. The minute she unwrapped him she told me to put him right to work in the Utility room which has caused us so much grief. Well not three days later, we were just about to leave the house through the garage and we heard it. You guessed it, our little Leak Frog was sounding the alarm. The humidifier system had failed again! The difference this time was we were able to stop the problem just as it was starting. I was able to shut off the water feed to the humidifier system until the plumber came to make repairs. Just a small amount of water on the floor set this little guy off and it dried up within an hour. Little Leaky saved us! Saved our house, our belongings and our sanity. I know we would have lost it if we had to go through another flood just days after getting the house back together. Well we've bought five more Leak Frogs since then and put them to work all over the house. In all the bathrooms under sinks and toilets, in the laundry room, and the kitchen. Don't let the cuteness factor of these little frogs fool you. They really work. They are extremely sensitive to even small amounts of water. The alarm sound while not blaring is still plenty loud to hear throughout the house when there is trouble. We are sleeping much better now knowing our little army of Leak Frogs is on the job.
9/24/2018 Update...10 years after my first review the leak frog water alarm sounded as soon as the water supply line to the toilet started dripping. Since this is a bathroom I never use this could have continued to leak over a very long time causing significant damage to flooring, downstairs ceiling, etc. I love these alarms!!!!!
Noise: It's loud enough for me and my house. But I live in a very quiet area.
Batteries: They include cheapo zinc chloride AAA made by ChungPak.com rated at 380mAh each. I wish they wouldn't include any batteries at all and knock off $1~2 from the MSRP or so. Right now, they recommend annual battery change, but with longer-lasting batteries like alkaline & lithium, I bet that maintenance intervals can be extended proportionally longer, like maybe a few years at a time easily. Can someone attest to this?
