Amazon.com Product Description
The first step to preventing water damage to your home is finding out when and where the water is entering the house. That's often easier said than done, unless you've installed the Zircon 64003 Water Detector Electronic Water Alarm. For less than you'd pay for two fast-food meals, you could buy yourself year-round protection and peace of mind—and possibly prevent thousands of dollars in water damage, not to mention increases in your homeowner's insurance.The battery-operated unit has an automatic sensor that emits a loud, piercing alarm—similar to a smoke detector's—when it comes in contact with water. Simply place the alarm near a washing machine, inside of a sump pump pit, on floor of a basement or crawlspace, or wherever you suspect water entry. This compact, set-it-and-forget-it alarm is only slightly larger than a deck of cards, and it's powered by a 9-volt battery (not included). -- Joseph Truini What's in the Box

 S-O-S....S-O-S....S-O-S November 14, 2008
I purchased two of these after suffering a disastrous water pipe leak in a finished, carpeted and furnished basement, a leak that went undetected for about 24 hours. The cases of my Zircon detectors look exactly like this one, but they have a red-on-white label rather than the white-on-blue shown in the Amazon listing. I'm not sure whether this indicates a newer version or what. That said, the ones I have work perfectly. Wet a finger and hold it against the two exposed metal strips, and the detector quickly begins sounding the alarm--in Morse Code!
That's right, these (at least the red-on-white labeled ones) sound out the international distress signal: three short beeps, three long beeps, and three short beeps again, Morse code for the letters S-O-S. Not owning an audiometer, I cannot say what the alarm is in decibels, but I do believe it's loud enough to be heard upstairs, though perhaps not from one end of the house to the other. However, if one is standing above the basement room when the alarm activates, it will definitely be heard (assuming that one is not hard of hearing, of course).
I notice that some reviewers find fault with the units for wearing out prematurely. While I cannot speak to that, having had these units for only a few weeks, I feel that, at about ten dollars apiece, even if they need to be replaced yearly, the cost is negligible for the security they provide. So far, I am pleased and impressed with these alarms--which will certainly let the homeowner know that something is wet even if he or she doesn't understand Morse code!

The product is compact enough to fit in the space that I needed. When I checked it out the alarm sounded right away and was audible enough to hear anywhere in my home.
Peace of mind! September 22, 2008
Last spring in my neighborhood, there was constant rainfall. Many of my neighbors had the misfortune of waking up in the morning to find their basements flooded. I was unscathed, but I don't want to risk it again. I installed these in various places downstairs, and though I may never experience flooding, they are worth the peace of mind alone.
This Could Really Save You Some Money September 18, 2008
I had bought some of these before and couldn't believe how well they work. I just bought more to cover every potential water leak in the house. One of them in the first set I bought went off under my bathroom sink when a water line sprung a leak. I heard it all the way in the livingroom while watching tv. If I didn't have the water detector it could have been a costly repair. Out of site, out of mind.....

This product really works. The first sign of moisture makes the alarm go off and the alarm is loud. I would definetly recommend it.
