Sump Alarms & Water Leak
Detection Systems
|
|
Protect your
home or business from damage by water leakage caused by: ruptured
pipes
and
hoses, overflowing drains, floor & wall cracks,
and sump pump failures using the Aquaguard Leak
Detection Systems. Prevent, or at least limit, the damage that is often
the result of unseen and normally undetected leaks, drips, infiltration,
appliance failure, etc. Getting an early warning of a water leak can mean
all the difference on the extent of the water damage and on how to correct
it. Taking care of a small leak when it is still small is key to reduction
of cost, lowering of insurance claims, and the out-of-pocket expenses
associated with water damage. Get the peace of mind you need by placing the Aquaguard Leak
Detection System at the strategic spots around the basement, and sleep
restfully, knowing that an alarm will sound if there is a problem.

Sump Level Alarm
|
 |
Here is a simple,
inexpensive sump alarm to keep an eye on your sump without having to go look at
it every day! The float can be set to sound the alarm when the water
goes above its normal level. The unit is plugged in so you don't have to
worry about it losing power. If the power does go out, there is a
battery backup built right in so the alarm can still work.
Features:
 | Simple installation |
| Battery backup |
| Silence and test buttons right on the front |
| Easy push-in connectors for the float cable |
| 15 Feet of float cable |
| Cable tie to hold float at correct level |
| Built-in contacts for connection to your security
system |

Optional Equipment: 
This is really a
5 foot long flexible sensor. Other alarm systems use similar technology in their more sophisticated
systems, but we have reduced the cost and simplified the installation to
make it more user-friendly.
Remote Alarm Buzzer Model
BZ-1
Looks like an ordinary
electrical wall plate and the wiring can be either hidden inside the wall
or exposed on the surface (all low voltage). This buzzer can then be
placed in a remote area where it is more likely to be heard when it
sounds, like a kitchen of a home or a control room in a commercial
application.
Point Water Sensor Model 1040
This is a basic water sensor
used with the WB-800 for monitoring trouble spots.
These water sensors are typically placed on the floor or inside a cabinet that
needs to be monitored for water leaks. Two of these sensors
can be connected to EACH circuit, if desired, giving you the potential of having up to
16 sensors attached to this system. These sensors are about the size of a
credit card, but about 1/2" thick with four metal contacts on the bottom
and a wire to connect to the controller. Additional leader wire can be added to
the sensor wire to reach the area as needed. These sensors can be glued
down or attached with two-faced adhesive pads to prevent movement. Do not
use on a metal floor as contact with the metal will cause false
alarms.
Under-carpet
Sensor Model 1041
This is a specially
designed flat sensor for use with Aquaguard Model WB-800 system. This individual
sensor detects water and signals the controller to
sound the alarm, just like the point sensor described above, except that
it is a flat, low-profile sensor that slides right under a carpet and
doesn't really show.
Polypropylene or Brass in
sizes that range
from 3/4" up to 3". These can be incorporated into the WB-800
system in order to shut off water automatically when any of the circuits
detect water. For example, the sensor under the hot water tank or the
washing machine detects
water and sounds the alarm. It also sends a signal to the Automatic
shut-off valve to close, minimizing the leak.
The best way to handle this application would be to place the Automatic
Shut-off Valve on the main water line entering the building and a leak
detection of any of those systems would turn it off.

A personal testimony: Could this happen to you?
"Six years ago while we were away for a camping trip, the nut
that holds the supply line to our upstairs faucet busted. We came home
to a destroyed house. We estimate that 10,000 gallons of water ran
through our home. The damage was over $50,000.The three months we
spent re-building our home were the worst we’d ever spent. If only
we’d known about Aquaguard."
Chuck and Betsy S., Lancaster NY
Aquaguard Leak Detection
System could have saved this couple from all this damage and hassle.
With the Automatic Shut-off Valve in place and Aquaguard installed in their
home, it is unlikely that the broken water line would have gone
unnoticed for long. Once detected, the valve would have closed and the
water stopped. It would have stayed off until they returned home. There
may have been some damage, but it would have been very limited.
Water Damage:
Water leaks cause serious damage to homes and businesses every year.
Millions, no Billions, of dollars in physical damage and lost time on the
job occur and we have the technology to limit that damage. Today. We can help by
providing you with Leak Detection Equipment, an early warning
system that could prevent a large amount of this damage.
When you combine detection and early warning with automatic shut-off devices,
you can cover even more. We've talked to
many people who have said the same thing. "I just need an affordable product
that can set off an alarm when water is leaking
somewhere in my house. With all the technology we have, isn't there some
product that can automatically turn off my house water supply when it
detects that a pipe or appliance is leaking?"
The answer is the Aquaguard Leak Detection System.
The Problem:
A leaky pipe quietly does its damage to your home without you even knowing
about it until it's too late. A washing machine hose bursts while you are at
work and floods the basement or laundry room, or more.
The ice maker tube cracks slightly, quietly leaking every time it goes on
and water ruins the floor, unseen, and unnoticed, until it's too late. The hot water tank
begins to drip and water is soaking into your carpet or the items you have stored nearby. Your sump
pump dies in the middle of the night and without a warning system or
backup sump pump in place, your basement is ruined. Can you prevent
all these things from happening? Probably not. But you can do something
about it now to prevent as much of the damage as possible.
The Solution: Aquaguard.
You can install an
early-warning system to limit the damage and prevent it from spreading.
Instead of costing thousands of dollars (or more) in damage and countless
hours (dollars) of lost time, you can install a reasonably-priced leak
detection system to warn you of these kinds of problems. With the right
optional equipment added on, the Aquaguard Leak Detection Systems can
alert you that a problem exists, turn the water off,
and even work in conjunction with your security system or building management system
to get help!
Each model comes with a 30 day money back guarantee to
take the risk out of your purchase. Each system is easy to install, can be adapted to your
situation, and WB-800 can be fitted with one or more optional add-on features as
described above
