Skylink WA-318 Review by D. Shawver "gwrace" (Beautiful South Texas)

We are on a private well water system. Due to the extended drought in Texas we were forced to install a 2500 gallon water storage tank. This system has it's own submersible pump and associated plumbing. The system runs at 65-80 PSI with pump capacity of about 25GPM. We've had a couple of occasions where a leak in the piping or plumbing has occurred causing us to lose a significant amount of water. We installed this system with two sensors in our outside storage building that is about 100 feet from the house. The receiver has no problems picking up the test signals from the sensors in the building. Sensors will sound an alert with just a small amount of water touching them. I can't comment on reliability but for now the system is working as designed.

The only con I can think of is the volume of the alarm. It could be louder.

Skylink WA-318 Review by L. Peters "Digger"

I've had this for a while now but wanted to wait till it actually got used to review it. The basement floods during a heavy summer downpour and the downspouts get clogged. Recently all the factors converged to cause water to enter the basement. I had forgotten about the Water Alert and heard the faint beeping of the unit. After a short search, I found the source of the sound and checking the basement, found water in the floor. Quick use of the shop vac avoided any damage. My only complaint is the volume of the alarm and the fact that it will alarm for some time after the clean up, sensing the overly damp condition of the floor. You have to unplug it until the floor dries. Just remember to plug it up again. Overall, works well.

Skylink WA-318 Review by D. Islam (Atlanta, GA)

I put the sensor in my basement and the receiver in my living room and it works fine (I was afraid the range would be too small). Wish the warning beeps were a bit louder, but since I can place the receiver anywhere in the house, not an issue. Great piece of mind for the money - I don't have to constantly run down to the basement to check if the sump needs to be run.

PROS:
- It's wireless, so you can have the alert box where you need it
- You can monitor additional areas by adding sensors, including ones to monitor if your garage is open
- the white alert box is pretty small - seemed bigger in the picture
- Does not feel flimsy

CONS:
- The warning beeps could've been a bit louder, but since I can put it anywhere in the house, not a big issue.
