Product Description
In the U.S., water damage is the 2nd most frequently filed insurance claim and has accounted for more than $5 billion of claims each year in recent years. Property damage and monetary loss aside, a water-damaged property could also pose great health risks to its inhabitants, a truly nightmare scenario for homeowners. Thanks to the Instapark IN07A automatic water leakage alarm, a simple, inexpensive yet effective device, you now have a solution to minimize the risk of water damage and avoid its unpleasant aftermath.
Powered by a single 9V alkaline battery (included), the IN07A features a main alarm unit with a 130 dB siren connected together with a water detection sensor by a 44” long wire. When properly placed on the floor or any flat surface area to the monitored, the sensor will automatically detect any presence of water and trigger the main unit alarm to go off at 130 dB to alert the occupant to take immediate actions. Suitable locations to place the sensor include under-the-sink cabinet in a kitchen or bathroom, near a water heater, a sump pump, a toilet, a washer, a humidifier, an AC unit, or ice-making refrigerator. For added convenience, a bottom plate is included to help secure the sensor in place and lower the sensitivity if so desired. The main alarm is easily mountable as high as 44” above the floor, on a flat surface with either its built-in suction cup or included double-sided adhesive foam tape.

Pros
good construction
very loud alarm, louder than the Dog. It pulls 167mAdc on alarm vs 17mAdc from the Dog
wired water sensor is easy to move and place
comes with 9v batteries
low battery beep as alert, none on the Dog
Cons
high standby current. It consumes 10.0 uAdc vs the 0.1 uAdc of the Dog. You can calculate how long it will last if you know your 9v mAh but overall this is higher operational cost as any battery change is about yearly. I use 9v NiMH and its economical to use a fresh batteries yearly and recharge the used one. Luckily this has a low bat chirp if it fails before a year. The Dog low power means a battery change is near expiry date on alkaline.
the sensor 'platform' is top heavy and can tip over if not placed right. You can stick it between some crevice to stay put or tape it in place or put more weight on the platform
The sensor requires more water below it to trip as it has a greater distance between the floor and the sensor, on the Dog, the sensors are far closer to floor. Some folks have put cotton or toilet paper between the sensor, which wicks water and makes it more sensitive, but I found on damp days that causes false triggering as the paper or cotton get moist.
Opening the case isn't described in the instructions. You have to press on two plastic latches to pull the rear case UP and away from the body
It comes with screws for the case, which is not needed since its a tight fit as is with the plastic latches but could be useful if the latches fail. On the Dog, the battery is easier replace as the cover slides off, and there is no latch to break as the unit ages, my Dogs are on duty for nearly 20 years
The plastic suction cup isn't a reliable mount, easier to just tie a cord to the cup and let this thing hang off something
there is no cord keeper, so if you don't need to remotely place the sensor the wires just hang around. On the Dog, the case is also the cord keeper
Heeding the suggestion of another reviewer, I improved sensitivity to a scant amount of water by simply folding a 1-inch square of a paper towel and tucking it into the bottom face of the sensor holder. As I wanted the sensor to stand flat upon the floor behind some cabinets where I couldn't easily see if it was properly positioned, I applied quite literally, a 4-cent fix: The sensors came with double-sided mounting foam to permit attaching the sensors or alarm box as desired. Cutting a piece of foam into 4 squares and affixing those squares at the four corners of the sensor holder's upper face, I then added a penny atop each square. This added enough weight to keep the sensor holder flat as I lowered it behind the cabinet. The wire was just long enough for the alarm box to simply lay discreetly at a back corner of the cabinet. At 3 for $20, these sensors are a "no-brainer" for anyone with water leak, flooding, overlflows, or other such issues.

The battery case could have been made for easier access with a slip on/off cover like remote controls use. The case would be better with more battery room. The case would also benefit from a hang tab with a "snowman" hole allowing it to be hung by slipping over the head of a small nail or screw. The suction cup is pretty useless and the idea of gluing the back of the case to a wall with the adhesive pad is kinda dumb. You'd need to tear it off the wall to get to the hard to open cover.
1. Opening the case is easiest with two small screwdriver pushing back the tabs and a third to pry open.
2. Remove the one small screw holding the circuit board, connect the battery, slip the wires behind the divider, angle the battery in, nose first while gently pressing the rear end down. Yes, a very tight fit.
3. Place the circuit board over the two plastic pins and screw it down again (small Phillips).
4. Hook the top of the cover, press down the end with the two tabs (I colored then orange to more easily see).
5. I hot melt glued two steel nits to the sensor flange for better floor contact.
6. Placed sensor on paper towel "mat". Absorbs floor water like a sponge. Without the paper towel, the alarm activates when the floor water level exceed 1/16" high.
7. I used absorbent paper towel to make a wick to fill the sensor channel.
8. I spliced an 8 ft cord into mine to allow me to place the alarm case on ceiling ductwork to better amplify the already loud noisemaker. I used some 20 AWG wire, but you could use old telephone cable too. I soldered my spices and then used heat shrink tubing on the joints and another tube slipped over those.

I gave up on building one because the price was so low it made no sense to buy parts...
See my photo, I can attach it to the wall with the supplied sticky pad (I didn't trust the supplied rubber suction, use the sticky pad), and I duck tape the sensor in its stand to the ground to be sure it is close and can't move. Then put the washing machine back and I can still access the sensor case to replace the battery in a years time. I didn't put the screws back in the case as I prefer easy access to the battery. Jobs a good'un. Oh and they are super loud, fun to scare the wife with when putting it in, just lick your finger and touch the sensor. :)
