Frequently Asked Questions About Water Leak Detectors
What is a water leak detector, and how does it work?
A water leak detector is designed to identify water leaks in your home or business. While basic models like the Aqara water leak sensor use contact sensors that detect water on floors or surfaces, Bluebot’s advanced system uses ultrasonic technology to monitor water flow through your pipes. Our system measures flow patterns and identifies anomalies that indicate leaks—even those hidden behind walls or underground pipes—before water damage occurs. This proactive approach to leak detection provides superior protection to reactive sensors that only alert you after water has already caused damage.
Why is a smart water leak detector better than traditional moisture sensing cable systems?
A smart water leak detector like Bluebot offers advantages over traditional individually placed sensing cable systems. Rather than requiring the placement of sensing cable in multiple locations where leaks might occur, our system is a flow meter (not a contact moisture sensor) and monitors actual water flow through your pipes. This means we can detect leaks anywhere in your plumbing system, not just where the sensing cable is placed. Additionally, our app-controlled leak detector provides real-time alerts to your smartphone, customizable threshold settings, historical data analysis, and the ability to monitor your property remotely—features not available with basic sensing cable installations.
How does Bluebot compare to the Phyn Smart Water Sensor or Flo Smart Water Monitor?
Bluebot offers several advantages over competitors like the Phyn Smart Water Sensor or Flo Smart Water Monitor.
