PowerG Wireless Flood Detector
Stop water damage before it starts. The PowerG Wireless Flood Detector uses a low-profile sensor with a 6 ft (1.8 m) supervised probe to detect water at floor level and instantly alert your security system—perfect for basements, utility rooms, vacation homes, and even yachts. It communicates using PowerG (AES-128, frequency-hopping) for rock-solid reliability and offers up to 8 years of battery life.
Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems
- Targeted placement: we locate the probe where leaks start (sump, water heater pan, laundry) and verify detection using the on-device signal quality LED.
- Clean enrollment & testing: we pair the sensor to your panel, confirm probe supervision (alerts if the probe is disconnected), and document your notification rules.
- Pro monitoring: we configure mobile alerts and dispatch options so small leaks don’t become big problems.
