Question: What is the battery life?  The brand I have the batteries last about 1 month.
Document: I have to replace its battery every month. used all major alkaline brands and now switched to rechargeable batteries. this alarm drains any battery very fast and of course starts beeping every few seconds. battery compartment has a very tight lid and i hate opening it -- almost monthly. the cord idea is great but its not so easy to lay it flat on the floor as it bends and needs some fixing to stay on the floor. Def would not purchase it again.
While the unit seems OK, it uses up the 9 volt batteries much too quickly. A battery won't make it ten days. I had to re-wire it to accept a 9-volt supply that I could plug in instead of being awakened in the middle of the night with the low battery warning chirping.
Having dealt with a water leak in the past I have always been a little nervous about having the water heaters located indoors in our current home. This gadget goes a long way to giving me some peace of mind regarding when the telltale drip of a water heater on it's last legs might begin.The device is easy to install and uses a 9V battery. The volume of the alarm is loud and annoying enough make you wake up.
Once dry, this should last forever. Keep the plug ends toward the front so you can connect the alarm box later. slide the whole liner into place. have your plumber (or wife) install the dishwasher in place, careful not to damage your liner or cables. Once the hookups are done, plug in the detector and lay in on top of one of the washer hoses. Put your kick plate back and you're in business. If you'll buy a lithium battery, it will last 5 years or more.
Despite the presence of two alarms, about 1/3 of the time the water avoids the detector and the first we hear of it is when the resident notices water. The other issue is that even if an alarm does detect the leak, very often it is sounding during the day when no one is around. By  the time someone comes home the battery is dead and the leak continues until it is much worse.This alarm solves the first problem by allowing us to completely surround sources of leaks with sensor cable.
This alarm is quite sensitive to any moisture intrusions. For that I give it an A+. Only downside is that its very hard to get it to turn off once it's gotten wet. This monitor is not for an area that gets occasionally wet and you just want to be alerted to it. Its definitely for an area that never gets wet and to use as a last resort monitor.
For one reason or another, I seem to keep getting water leaks under the kitchen sink. I've had holes in the garbage disposal and leaks in the pipe connectors. The last time it leaked, we had water pooled up for quite some time, I know this because it stunk so bad. Mildewy water isn't the best for our health, nor the best for our flooring, so I figured I'd give this unit a try.Hopefully, I'll never need it.
I can walk now, but it's 105 degrees here and extremely humid. I cannot go into the garage to find the boxes in this weather. I DO understand WHY Honeywell wants a receipt: To prove the alarm is not more than 1 year old. People do lie and cheat, and Honeywell has no reason to believe me when I tell them I bought the alarm 8 months ago. I get that.
I was able to hear it while I was awake, but don't know if it will be loud enough to wake me if I'm asleep. I haven't had any flooding since I set it up, so I can't say how it will perform under real flooding conditions.8/29 edit - basement took in water during hurricane & it was loud enough to wake me on second floor; wouldn't turn off though so had to disconnect & remove batteries.
I purchased this alarm 8 months ago, after two waters flooded my home within 1 year. After the current water heater was installed, I installed this alarm with the sensor on the floor around the heater. The alarm went off once. I had a very tiny leak. I was very impressed that this alarm worked with just a tiny drop of water on the floor. Great. It turned out that I needed an overflow tank, so my plumber installed that and put the alarm back in place.
