## Description

Product description MySpool WATER Detector is a smart device that sends out an alert when water is detected by its sensor. That alert is a message, either via email or text, or both. Optionally, this device can also send you push notifications. Alerts are repeated every few minutes until the sensor is dry. Water Detector is configured to use your WiFi. The WiFi setup takes a few minutes with a smart phone or a laptop. Once your Water Detector has been setup, your email address and phone number need to be specified on the myspool.com device configuration page. That page, as well as other user pages displaying device status and recent alerts, are in a secure user area on myspool.com. That area is also used for configuring settings such as text message content and hours of operation. It is accessible to owners of MySpool devices. When setup has been completed, any time water is detected, an email will be sent to you. If configured, you will also get a text message and a push notification. MySpool Water Detector has been successfully tested at over 400 feet from WiFi router and through some walls. MySpool Central Monitoring Service for this device is included free of charge. This service runs on our cloud servers. In case WATER Detector misses a scheduled daily check-in, device owner will be notified you via email that there is an issue. There will also be a follow-up notification when it comes back online. Currently MySpool products are supported in US and Canada only. A robust and dependable industrial strength infrastructure is behind every MySpool device. It provides support for both single and multi-device consumer and commercial deployments that can be managed on a secure website independent of geographical location or a mobile phone. That is what differentiates our industrial-strength services such as device management, monitoring, and notifications. Setup Instructions for all myspool devices are available online on myspool.com. This is a summary Connect your device to WiFi and trigger an alert: dip sensor in a cup of water Create an account on myspool.com and click on email link to confirm it or login to your existing account Confirm your email subscription for this device to receive alert notifications You are done: trigger an alert from your device again and receive an email notification! You can add a phone number and change message and other settings at any time. Device Configuration: 3 steps MySpool device setup Summary 1. Connect your device to WiFi 2. Create account on myspool.com 3. Configure your email and text message on myspool.com The first step is the most challenging one. It should also be done first so that MySpool servers can identify your device when you login to configure it. Step 1. Connect your device to WiFi Open your phone, go to Settings, and choose Wi-Fi. Under the CHOOSE A NETWORK tab you will see available networks. One of them will be the MySpool Device. It will look like SASensor-000000 where "000000" is the unique device ID. In the example it is shown as SASensor-2336877. Click on it. Once connection is established, which may take a few seconds, it will open a browser window with Alerts WiFi Manager. Step 1, continued.

Note: SAS network will not be visible on your phone after this step. You can now use your laptop or smartphone to create an account on myspool.com and specify where you want your emails and text messages sent.

Review: Simple, easy to use water detector - perfect for sump pits! - 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.
Review: It works great! - I installed the My Spool water detector in my basement after we had a problem with the floor drain backing up. I had previously installed a wifi range extender in the basement, so I was confident there would be a strong enough wifi signal for the device to connect to. It is probably best to go through the setup process at the location where you intend to install the detector, rather than setting it up elsewhere and resetting the network connection in its final location. The physical installation is quite straightforward. There is a small black box with the electronics and two wires extending out from it. One has the detector at the end, the other is for power and plugs into the USB port on the supplied charger. The directions are a bit complicated and could benefit from some reformatting of the pamphlet’s text, but if you follow all of the steps (exactly, in order, not skipping anything) it’s really pretty easy. When it’s plugged in the device creates its own local wifi network, so you log into that with a smartphone, log the device into your house wifi network, then create an account on MySpool’s server and link the device to that account. From that point on it uses your house wifi network to send any alerts to the MySpool server and thus to your email or text messaging. At the end of the process you dunk the detector in a glass of water to test it and voila!—it sends you an email and a text message. You can have up to five email addresses on the alerts, so you can have a someone check the detector if you’re away. There is a light on the top of the little black box that is green when it is on and running properly and red when it has been triggered, so I can see whenever I go to the basement that it’s running. I’m hoping it’s never actually needed, but since the floor drain can back up unnoticed, it’s nice to have the reassurance that I’ll find out about it before any real damage is done. And I now have a submersible pump on a shelf right next to the drain—so I’m ready!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: As the lead from the sensor to the box is only 2 feet, can you mount the box to a stud or wall?**
A: Yes you cam: use either duct or double sided tape.  You may also want to look at the rugged version: it comes with a 5 foot lead which is rigidly connected to the sensor. It also comes in an enclosure which has screw mount holes.

**Q: Installed the device, configured both text and email alerts. now i receive a text alert every 6:30 mins. but no email alerts at all. why is it so?**
A: Look for an email with a subject "AWS Notification - Subscription Confirmation".  You need to click on the link in that email to confirm your subscription to email notifications. If you cannot find it, go to Configure Device, remove and then add your email again.  All email changes require subscription confirmations.

**Q: Will this work on a 220v socket, or 110v only ??**
A: It works on 110.

**Q: What water level does it detect at?**
A: I have recently purchased this item and spent a few days testing it.  In my test I placed the sensor on a plate dinner plate which contained water and it triggered a response immediately.  Based on this I would say this sensor appears to be triggered upon contact with even very low levels of water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does exactly what I need - a text & email alert to my phone when a water leak is detected.
*by K***S on April 18, 2020*

If you're looking for a device that will send a text and/or email to your mobile device when a water leak is detected, then this is what you're looking for. For the price, you just can't beat it. There's no monthly charges or contracts, you don't have to download an app, the alerts come directly to your phone via text or your email, you can customize the message that's being sent, the device is powered by your household 110VAC so there's no batteries to change, and the device is ping'd daily to the MySpool servers to ensure that the device is online. I put one under my new hot water heater and it works like a charm. I have a Galaxy S9+ and I did have one hiccup in the setup process that I needed help with, but the MySpool support guy CALLED (not texted or emailed) me about 10 minutes after I submitted a support request online and walked me through the issue over the phone which we resolved pretty quickly. Take note, other online businesses - this is what good customer service looks like. It does exactly what its advertised to do - send text and/or email alerts when a leak is detected, but really nothing more. If MySpool ever adds some relay contacts to this device to drive external devices (i.e. shutoff valve, alarm buzzer, pump, etc.) this could be the heart of a very complete and effective leak detection and flood mitigation system - and I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
