These alarms sound upon detecting water or other fluids.
Flood detectors are devices which alert the home owner to potential flood situations. They are useful for people who sometimes forget to turn off taps. Water on the floor creates an immediate slip hazard and can lead to serious injury. Flood detectors can be used in all flood risk environments including bathroom, laundry and kitchen areas. Some detectors will also trigger an alarm call to a monitoring centre that will contact the home owner and confirm they are safe. Please refer to the individual product handbook regarding recommended areas for installation of flood detectors. For further information on flood alarms that can connect to a monitored call centre, please see our section on telecare systems.
