For the installation site of the water detector I have chosen the laundry in the basement, as it also would be possible that water from the canal is pushed back over the floor drain into the house, or the washing machine has broken one.
For the test I took a bowl and put the detectors on the bottom of the bowl. Now I let hineinträufeln water. As all three contacts were with the water into contact simultaneously triggered the alarm. the floor was then ca 1-2 mm covered with water.
I had set up in the middle of space, since the lowest point and the process were, so the possibility existed to emerge from inattention to the device the detector.
Here I would encourage to offer pull electrodes with a cable length of a few meters or to attach connectors for electrodes, can be angebrachr to electrodes external if necessary.
Also would be a spark detector very beneficial, warns in the upper rooms before flooding, as for example can be ignored by the spatially unfavorable situation of the basement of the warning tone with us.
Overall, an everyday product and unbeatable with the aforementioned extension
