That's exactly what I wanted!

Great product and easy to install. I had a similar device for over a decade that stopped working. I've looked at some other models that have apps to send you a message ($350 is so expensive), but most of the time we were hours away and couldn't do anything about it. overflowing drain pump.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Disappointed with Rough Plumbing

THP205 worked (at least not) in the sump of a drain pump for a while. Then the alarm clock rang early in the morning and I went to check. There was no water around the sensors. I set the switch to OFF and leave it on for a while. I flipped the switch and the alarm went off again. I have searched the website for troubleshooting information but there is no literature on the subject. I called Reliance and this guy said that basically it either works or it doesn't, it's very simple; no sleep…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Faulty drain pump alarm

I bought this Reliance THP205 for a drain pump alarm. That does not work. I put a sensor in the swamp well so it can tell if the water in the well is rising. The alarm went off for no reason. There was no water on the sensor at all. So I removed the sensor, dried it with a paper towel and put it back in the slot. A few days later it started again for no reason. I removed this alarm as it doesn't work in a drain pump. I think the high humidity in the well is triggering an alarm. Moisture should…

The alarm clock you'll hopefully never use.

This is an alarm clock I hope you never have to use. direct current source. Comes with a screw/anchor for wall mounting and a weight if you want to hang the cable in the hole. The picture of the probe is not what came to my mind. My probe is red and has 2 metal pins about 1" apart which looks like a superior (upgraded) probe. The alarm is loud enough when the house is quiet. My pump is in a rarely visited basement, so the sound is a bit muffled. It's good to have a second pump on hand, when the

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

A little crazy plus a little worth

Our basement drain started working this year (first time since we built the house) and since it happened I've been a little concerned. I bought this little device to plug into my real drain pipe and let me know if the water is rising before it gets high enough to flood my basement. I installed it on the side of my oven and dropped the sensor along with its weight (included) down the drain pipe. However, I fiddled with it and the weight fell off the sensor cable and ended up in the sewer. So I…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Inexpensive but works well

It's hard to review a product you hope you never need. However, due to the significant amount of water in an unplanned location in my basement, I purchased two of these alarms in addition to an existing sensor wired into the home's intruder alarm system. Installation was straightforward - just minutes for both. I tested each by placing the humidity sensors in a very shallow pan of water and both made a high-pitched noise that could be heard above. (There's also a more subtle, limited-range…

  • Great for a small home

It does not work! Read so this doesn't happen to you

So I bought this item for my cesspool. The sensor has a suction cup and the top of my pump's float switch is smooth which seems like the perfect place to mount the sensor - if the water keeps rising when the float is up it means the pump is overloaded (or broken) and I want to know right away! Big mistake. So I tested the alarm by submerging the sensor in a cup of water - worked great as promised - and attached the sensor to the top of the float switch, which was the only smooth surface that…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Good product, needs major improvement

I know too many basement flood stories so I installed this alarm in my rainwater sump (jug). to prove myself in a real scenario. I tested it (by submerging it in water) before installing it and it works as advertised. Есть два варианта будильника: пронзительный звук или музыка (!) Поскольку это последняя линия защиты перед затоплением вашего подвала, критическая функция, отсутствующая в нем, выделена ниже: Этот будильник работает от батареи 9 В, и в инструкции по эксплуатации говорится для…

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Works but was hoping it would be a little louder (updated)

I bought this as an early warning when my drain pump stopped working. Installation was easy enough and I just hooked the sensor up to the PVC sump pump drain line a few inches higher than the highest level it was before the pump kicked in after a bucket of water fell into the pit. The device appears to be working. ok but not sure if it would be loud enough to be heard in our two story house. While this will certainly void the warranty, I decided to extend the wiring between the sensor and the…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
