Water Leak Detector System

 


How does a leak detection system work?


Leak detection systems work by monitoring water flow through either a mechanical turbine or ultrasonic wavelengths. These leak detection systems observe the pattern of the water flow, either by counting the volume of water passing through the sensor or sonically recording the time delay. Other leak detectors also cut off water by detecting the presence of moisture. If these leak detection systems sense moisture reaching the floorboards, a mechanical valve is triggered that will block water flow. Moisture-sensing leak detectors are better suited for under-sink or point-of-use applications. Whole-house leak detection systems tend to track water usage to detect potential leaks.
