PowerG Wireless Flood Detector
The PowerG Wireless Flood Detector provides advanced water leak detection for your home or business, offering early warning protection against costly water damage. This sophisticated device uses PowerG's encrypted wireless technology to communicate with your security system, featuring an external probe that can be strategically positioned to detect even small amounts of water in vulnerable areas like basements, utility rooms, and mechanical spaces. Unlike basic water sensors, this PowerG flood detector delivers enterprise-grade reliability with extended wireless range and superior battery life. The external probe design allows for flexible placement in hard-to-reach areas where water damage typically begins, such as near water heaters, washing machines, sump pumps, or floor drains. When water is detected, the system immediately sends alerts to your security panel and monitoring service, enabling rapid response to prevent extensive property damage.

Whether you're protecting a residential basement, commercial server room, or retail space with plumbing risks, this detector integrates seamlessly with PowerG-compatible security systems.
