Normally, if I were to talk about leaks, I’d be talking about memory leaks. However today, I want to talk about water leaks. Twice in our home, we’ve had water leaks and had damage. I decided to check out this little device that has sensors on the bottom of it to detect leaks. The Leak Frog Water Alarm runs off of three AAA batteries, and stands ready to warn you of a water leak, day or night.

LeakFrog is the small water alarm with a big job. Behind the cute smile is a brain that knows when you have a water problem. LeakFrog sits patiently day and night – ready to sound its alarm at the first sign of a leak.

If you have smoke alarms in your home, you need LeakFrog too. Simply place LeakFrog in the areas where leaks or water over-flow might occur. When water starts to puddle, even if it’s only 1/32 inch of water, LeakFrog sets off its alarm to alert you. If no one is home, the alarm will continue to sound for hours until you return. Leakfrog works best on floors of wood, tile, metal or concrete.

LeakFrog can detect water leaks from any water source:

  1. Toilets
  2. Dishwashers
  3. Sinks
  4. Tubs
  5. Refrigerators
  6. Hot Tubs
  7. A/C Drip Pans
  8. Washing Machines

Water and mold can cause extensive and costly damage to your home. Isn’t it worth the $12.00 price tag for this extra peace of mind? The only complaint I have is that the designers made it so that you can only access the battery compartment with a precision screwdriver. How insane is that?

What other cool household gadgets do you know of or own that can help save you money, or keep you and your loved ones protected?
