Water Overflow Sensor Attachment for PAL-1 & PAL-1LIGHT Personal Alarms – Flood Detection with Suction Cup Mount

Catch the Flood Before It Costs You Thousands Water damage is one of those things nobody thinks about until they’re standing in a puddle at 2 AM. This sensor attachment connects to your PAL-1 or PAL-1LIGHT alarm and monitors for water overflow. Stick it near a washing machine, water heater, bathtub, or sump pump. The second water touches the sensor, your alarm goes off and you’ve got time to act before a small leak becomes a renovation project. Who This Sensor Is For Homeowners who’ve had a close call with a leaky water heater or overflowing tub. Apartment dwellers who can’t afford to flood their neighbor’s ceiling. Anyone with a basement that takes on water during storms. Landlords who want cheap flood monitoring in rental units. If you already own a PAL-1 or PAL-1LIGHT, this five-dollar attachment adds a whole new layer of protection. Is This the Right Choice for You? Choose this sensor if you want: Affordable flood detection using your existing PAL-1 or PAL-1LIGHT alarm Simple suction-cup installation with no wiring or Wi-Fi required Early warning before water overflow turns into serious damage Consider something else if you need: A standalone flood alarm — this requires a PAL-1 or PAL-1LIGHT to function A smart home water sensor with app alerts — this is analog, alarm-based only How It Works The sensor connects to the accessory port on the PAL-1 or PAL-1LIGHT personal alarm. The 27-inch cord gives you flexibility to mount the alarm on a shelf or wall while placing the sensor down near the floor or next to a water source. The suction cup sticks to any smooth surface — the side of a washing machine, a tile floor near a drain, or the outside of a tub. When water reaches the sensor, it completes the circuit and triggers the alarm immediately. Quick Comparison: How Does a Personal Alarm Stack Up?

If you’ve got the alarm, add this sensor. Frequently Asked Questions Will this work with any personal alarm? No — it’s designed specifically for the PAL-1 and PAL-1LIGHT personal alarm models. It connects through their accessory port, which isn’t available on other alarms. You need one of those two units for this sensor to function. Where’s the best place to put the sensor? Near anything that could leak or overflow — washing machines, water heaters, sump pumps, bathtubs, or under kitchen sinks. Place the sensor at floor level or right where water would first appear. The 27-inch cord lets you position the alarm somewhere audible while the sensor sits where water would collect. Does the suction cup hold on long-term? On clean, smooth surfaces it holds well. Just clean the surface before mounting and press firmly. Check it periodically, especially in humid areas, and reattach if it loosens. On textured surfaces, you can position the sensor on the ground without the suction cup — it just needs to be where water would reach it.
