Buzz / page me since I might not be home. Luckily I don't have any pets, it's just me, the wife and the baby. She'll hopefully check the buzzing, and he won't mind. sent from my mobile Eric On Aug 18, 2012 10:22 PM, "Tim Keller" <turbofx@gmail.com> wrote:
What you're looking for is called a "waterbug"
It has a pair of dry contacts that close a circuit when it gets wet. you could set up an arduino, or just wire it to a buzzer.
Hey all,
I had a close call with my hot water heater this afternoon. I heard on odd noise in the pipes and it turned out that my hot water heater was dumping water out of the overflow valve. Luckily, I found it quick enough, and I'm pretty sure I got it handled for < $150. There's a 1 Gal bucket under

I was looking at buying an Arduino and setting up a simple circuit. I know a few people have played with Arduinos, any suggestions on which one to get and how to go about it? I don't need to know how much water is in the bucket, I was thinking about a float type device or even two wires that trip a relay. I just want a heads up that water is in the bucket so I can stop before my basement floods.
Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin
