Monnit Wireless Water Detect+ Sensor

The Monnit Wireless Water Detect+ Sensor delivers rapid, reliable water-leak detection for homes and facilities, helping you protect assets and prevent costly damage. Built on the proven ALTA wireless platform, Detect+ sensors report the presence or absence of water across critical areas such as basements, plumbing closets, equipment rooms, and under sinks. With a range of lead options designed to fit tight spaces or long runs, you can tailor installation to your exact environment. The sensor supports both Lead or Probe configurations, offering flexible mounting and sensing approaches. The wireless design eliminates clutter and simplifies retrofits, enabling easy deployment across multiple risk points without complex wiring. Whether you’re safeguarding a residential dwelling or a commercial facility, the Water Detect+ Sensor provides a practical, scalable solution for early leak detection and rapid response, empowering you to minimize water damage, downtime, and maintenance costs.

• Immediate water detection: quickly identifies the presence of water to trigger alerts and enable fast, proactive responses that minimize damage.
• Flexible lead length options: standard 0.9 m (3') and extended lengths of 3 m (10'), 7.5 m (25'), 15 m (50'), and 30 m (100') to fit a wide range of installation scenarios.
• Lead or probe configuration: choose between a direct lead connection or a probe setup to reach difficult or tight spaces, ensuring optimal sensing placement in diverse environments.
• Wireless monitoring integration: designed to work within Monnit’s wireless ecosystem, enabling remote visibility and alerts without hidden wiring or complex installations.
• Versatile installation environments: ideal for monitoring near plumbing, HVAC drip pans, water heaters, and other high-risk areas where leaks can cause significant damage.
