    3.0 out of 5 stars Great when it works

    The original one I purchased worked (and is still working) great. I subsequently bought several more, which either didn't work right out of the box or -as the one in service that I tested today- lost its alarm volume and is worthless. What a shame- it's a good form but unreliable.

    Will keep your kids safer, not safe! Parental supervision should ALWAYS be used when there is a pool around. The alarm is very loud but would be hard to hear with doors closed and vacuum and dishwasher running at the same time. The battery could also die at anytime and would prevent the alarm from working altogether. With all that being said it is a fairly nice alarm and does trigger the instant water touches the two probes. The blue test button works well. You can put this alarm inside a plastic bag to help prevent water damage from rain or spray. The alarm section cannot be submersed in water. The cable is about 3-5' in length.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Control -- Lemon in the Night
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    We own several of these water alarms, having recently purchased three after good experiences with earlier ones. BUT, one of those new purchases is a battery eater -- four new 9v batteries including two of the more expensive long-life types since we put it into service in February. When the battery gets drained, the alarm chirps to let you know -- unfortunately, it's easiest to hear the chirps at night, in bed. And it's hard to know which unit is chirping until you get up, traipse around, and locate the exact source. Now I learn that the return period expired ten days ago. My advice would be to return one of these clunkers as soon as it eats the second battery. The others have lasted over a year before needing a battery replacement. If the seller or manufacturer would like a defective sample to test, I have it right here on my desk...

    1.0 out of 5 stars Poor Quality Control
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this product about 5 years ago and it works great. It's in the basement and is loud enough to hear anywhere on the first floor and in some locations on the second floor.

    So why the negative review? I bought another in December 2010. It looks identical to the first one but the alarm now sounds like the faint chirping of a cricket. Tried different batteries, same result. OK, well the first one is still working well, I asked Amazon for a replacement. Free return shipping, fast turn around time. I love Amazon. However, replacement alarm has exactly the same problem. You would not be able to hear this thing across a medium sized room unless it was the dead of the night. I don't know what happened to the quality control at Sonin, but I recommend that you look elsewhere. It's more than likely that you'll be sending yours back as well.

    This unit is poorly designed in USA!!!! built overseas....
    The alarm is about half as loud as a smoke detector
    The two screws that you must undo to install the battery ( 9V) are different lengths and if you put the short one into the longer's hole it is very difficult to get out.
    Seems to detect water fine so I will keep- I hate returning. BUT,more loud alarms are available for the same price

    This little alarm is a smart idea if you get water in your basement, like I do, but with the basement door shut you can hardly hear the alarm when it goes off. If you live in a loud house or have a business this is probably not the alarm for you

    5.0 out of 5 stars Works as described (which is very loud)
    Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    Our drain in our basement backed up this year (first time since house was built) and ever since it happened I've been a little worried. This hasn't completely relieved that fear but it does help. It's small, cheap, and works exactly as expected. I mounted ours on a wall in the basement and tacked the wire down to the floor. I then positioned the sensor upside down so as soon as water covers that section it will go off (it has a suction cup on the back and the sensors on the front but I wanted to know the instant water hit the floor). I then tested it by pouring a cup of water twords the sensor and it was extremely loud.

    It's worth it's cost, especially if it gives you a little jump on a potential disaster. I also bought another sensor at the same time (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IF6URO/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title) that I put into the actual drain pipe so I could detect water backing up before it gets to the floor. Between the two I'm definitely worrying less.

    This is a pretty basic item. Put in the battery, mount the main unit and them position the sensor. It works (I tested it). I wish the battery life was longer (I get about 9 months out of 1 alkaline battery). I haven't seen a better unit, but this is so basic that I just gave it 3 stars.
