Flood Sensor

  • VersaTile

The VersaTile flood sensor is an excellent tool for monitoring large areas for potential flooding, with the ability to notify users through VersaHub and an audible alarm when water is detected.

The flood sensor should only be installed in areas where you don't want water. Installation in areas that are frequently mopped or washed down will provide false positives.
