Sump Pump Alarm with 15-Foot Float Switch | 120 dB High Water Siren | Rechargeable LiPo Battery Backup Lasts Up to 1 Week | Reliable Sump Pump Failure Detector

I bought this to replace an existing alarm unit on an already installed sump pump. The old one was constantly buzzing (not alarming) from failing electronics. I bought this unit to connect to my existing float wires so I didn’t have to run all new wiring. I can’t speak to the float unit on this device since I connected it to my existing float.I tested the high water float and the alarm works flawlessly. Not only that, but it’s significantly louder than my old one. It’s also 1/3 the price I was seeing on some other big name septic pump websites.

The unit has a tie wrap type strap that allows you to attach the float to the suction or discharge pipe and it has a built-in battery back-up on the electronic unit. I did need to charge mine before the battery would work. All the same, it was quite easy.Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the strap that secures the float to the pipe, only works on vertical pipes. I have an in-tank pump where the pipe comes out of the top of the pump and goes horizontal, so i had to build my own contraption to anchor it from a horizontal pipe and still enable the float to work properly.Manufacturer, please consider going that extra step to provide a way to anchor the float to a horizontal pipe.Whomever made the ratings above, please revise the categories. "Suction Power" and "Warmth" are not at all applicable to a water level monitor.

Without this alarm, our sewage ejector tank contents would rise to a dangerous level whenever the pump switch failed, which happened about every 3 years or so. The last time it failed, fluid rose to the water heater drain and started to flood that room. Fortunately I had placed a water sensor alarm next to the floor drain and heard the alarm in time to turn off the water main, but that really is a 'last ditch' solution.With this alarm installed, the siren activates when the fluid level rises 4" above the normal range for the ejector pump, which is about 10" below the flood level. Think of it as an 'early warning' indicator. The siren is loud enough that it can be easily heard, especially in the shower of the bathroom which drains into the tank. Setup was easy. I'm not sure how long the rechargeable backup batteries will last, but I don't expect that to be a major issue since everyone here is trained not to use the downstairs bathroom in the event of a power failure, since the ejector pump requires AC power. Still, it is nice to have the battery backup for the alarm in case someone is unaware of the risks. If the backup batteries are lithium, hopefully they will last 5+ years and be replaceable after the warranty has long expired.

Easy to install

Very pleased with the product. easy to install and a good alarm.

Used as an overflow alarm for the storage tank on my reverse osmosis system. Drilled a 3/8” hole in the top of the tank and threaded the sensor through. Tested the alarm by working the float and it works well.The alarm is similar to that on your smoke detector. Same pitch and volume.

Installed easy and worked right away. Got this to have some piece of mind that if the sump pump fails to run, I will get a warning before it starts to over fill the tank. All manual test worked with no issues and the alarm was loud enough to hear through out the house.

Takes a little bit of time to install if you have tight spaces, like myself. First took about 15 minutes to install, and second only 5. However, they work great on dry tests (using finger to push up float!) Hopefully, I will never need to hear these things blaring throughout my house!

The unit came before the expected date - well done Amazon and Canada Post!The unit seemed smaller than what I envisioned when it came. All the parts for installation were in the box. The instructions for installation however are not clear. I always like a picture or two to help me see what the product engineers are trying to convey. Instructions aren't the best for first time DIY'ers! Once I began installing however, it was relatively easy for figure out what they were saying. Only one complaint though... According to the instructions, where I am to place the sensor is just above the water line of the existing pump. I have a deeper sump well and its was difficult for me to get those tie wraps around the existing flow pipe and secured well.I performed the rest of the hook ups as instructed, plugged the unit in and tested the siren the unit first. Then I tested the unit with the float sensor in the well; both made the siren go off. The siren is loud but not ear piercing!For the money, I would rate this an excellent purchase. One soft criticism; I would like the product engineers to rethink the instruction page for the DIY'er and not a fellow engineer.

Great product! I first thought the first one unit I bought was defective. I discovered on the second one that the alarm does not work the same way while running on batteries. In battery mode, there is a delay before the alarm siren makes a sound. That means, you have to maintain the "test" button a few seconds before the siren is working. This is most probably an energy saving mode.Note that the product is not as white as you would think. There is some tones of blue in the white color, at least, in the two units I got.This is an excellent product. I would recommand over other alarm systems sold on Amazon.

Was easy to install. Used for sump pump. I pump does not work and water table rises. alarm will notify you before any flooding. HAS BATTERY BACK UP IN CASE OF POWER OUTAGE.

Une alarme stridente se fera entendre s'il y a dépassement du niveau normal de l'eau. C'est rassurant car il fonctionne à tout coup.

Tiny unit. Very basic technology but so overpriced. There are better options out there. I installed this for a customer so i got the money back but wouldnt install this again.
