These detectors I can only recommend. Had by another company so far a detector - with the same function - according to the same principle - that has struck when my washing machine was clogged and overflowed from the filler opening water. Would have otherwise set the basement has been flooded - with laminate flooring. Has therefore made already paid umpteen times. Why I have now also equipped 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms so. A burst pipe or a defective seal can cause great damage quickly and to the detectors can minimize some risk.
