Water damage can be a nightmare.

Leak detectors can help to prevent water damage by providing early warning of a leak.

There are many different types of leak detectors available, and choosing the right one for your needs is important.

Types of Leak Detectors

• Contact leak detectors are the most common type of leak detector. They are placed in areas where water is likely to leak, such as under sinks or near appliances. When the detector comes into contact with water, it will sound an alarm.
• Non-contact leak detectors use infrared or ultrasonic technology to detect leaks. They work by detecting moisture in the air, which can indicate a leak. Non-contact leak detectors are not as sensitive as contact leak detectors, but they are less likely to be triggered by false alarms.
• Pool leak detectors are used to detect leaks in swimming pools. They work by monitoring the water level in the pool. If the water level drops below a certain level, the detector will sound an alarm.
• Refrigerant leak detectors are used to detect leaks in refrigeration systems. They work by detecting the presence of refrigerant gas in the air. Refrigerant leak detectors are not as common as other types of leak detectors, but they are essential for businesses that use refrigeration systems.
• Underground leak detectors are used to detect leaks in underground pipes. They work by listening for the sound of water flowing through the pipes. Underground leak detectors are used by municipalities and water utilities to locate leaks in water distribution systems.

How to Choose the Right Leak Detector

The type of leak detector that you choose will depend on your specific needs.

If you need a leak detector that is sensitive and reliable, a contact leak detector is a good option.

If you need a leak detector that is not as sensitive but is less likely to be triggered by false alarms, a non-contact leak detector is a good option.
