MySpool Water Detector with Text Message and Email Notifications

This device has been working now for a good few months. We use it to keep an eye on the pond temperature, and to notify if the pond level falls dangerously low. (which would imply a leak in the water circulation). Setup was fairly easy. The temp probe cable was a bit short - but that was of course fixable for a half confident hobbyist. I don't find the backend software reporting to be as useful as I'd like. But fundamentally I can recommend this, and the support team were very quick to answer my questions. Please note that the water level sensor is binary (Is there water/is there not water). The supplied sensor wasn't suitable for my needs so I replaced it with a much superior product. A very good little unit - slight room for improvements.

I use this for my sump pump, peace of mind if I have a mechanical issue or if there's a power failure when we're not home. I've paired this with the MySpool Power Failure Alert and Internet Outage Detector, both of these compliment each other very nicely. It's peace of mind knowing I'll be alerted to any problems!

When we bought our house 6 years ago, even the inspector couldn't find the sump pit. Turns out, it was in the finished bedroom's closet under the carpet, oddly in the middle of the basement. It's filled up a few times over the years, thankfully when we're at home, so my shop vac and I were able to clear it before there was a problem. A plumber quoted $12k to install a pump because of the odd location, tear down of finished areas, and rebuilding. That wasn't happening. However, with us traveling more, I wanted peace of mind when there was an issue so I could have a neighbor take action. Thankfully we haven't had a real alert in the pit, but the testing worked beautifully. It can send texts up to 1 number, you can customize the message to a degree, it'll also send emails, and you can adjust the frequency of the alerts (1 min, 5 min, 10 min). It's basic, but it does exactly what it needs to do. It was also very simple to set up - you need an account, but there is no subscription fees like other devices, which is a huge win.

Work as excepted. This float type is better then the contact plate as it won't be affected by humidity that can sometime cause false alarm with contact plate. So no false alarm with this one. The alert come in by text message (SMS) and by email literally about 10-30 second after the float sensor is triggered, its very fast! Also, no need for data on your cell phone to received the text message alert as it use SMS, and not internet based communication. Although, WiFi is required between your sensor and your house Internet, but basically everyone as that already anyway.

In service 10 months and tested every week. Do not hesitate to purchase this. We added a UPS to the this unit and the internet modem to provide additional 24 hours of power interruption service.

I needed help with getting the alarm to communicate with my telephone and called support. Within minutes, my call was returned and I was assisted by a very knowledgeable employee who not only got the device to pair with my phone, but also gave suggestions as to how I could mount the sensor in my sump pump. I followed his advice and found it to be good. Last night, for the first time, the alarm sounded in both text and email forms on the phone. I went to check. All that was needed was to raise the sensor a bit. There was no problem. But I know for certain that the alarms work, so am resting comfortably in the knowledge that I know there is no problem, and will be alerted if there is one, no matter where I am at the time.
