Water Sensor Installation Guide
Updated
Overview
The Water Sensor alerts you to leaks and flooding, helping you prevent expensive water damage. They are always sensing, whether your system is armed or not.
We won’t request dispatch of emergency services for water alarms, but with professional monitoring you’ll receive an automated call letting you know about the alarm.
