Water Leak Detection Finder

Seven questions — what kind of protection, how large a unit you are fitting, what you can spend, how it is powered, how you reach it, whether it has to work with your smart home, and whether you want a particular brand — across 988 detectors, valves, freeze sensors and monitors. Every result is placed against the median for its own class and size band.

The finder searches the whole corpus. It ranks nothing and hides nothing: a sensor whose listing never stated a weight still appears, marked not stated, because a thin listing is not a worse product.

Your requirements

What kind of protection are you after?

A sensor that alarms and a valve that shuts the water off are different purchases, and nothing useful is shared between their specifications. Every comparison below is made inside one class.

How large a unit are you fitting?

Weight stands in for physical size, and is the only numeric this corpus states across every class. It matters least of the questions here — the ones that decide a leak system are below it.

What can you spend?

How should it be powered?

This decides where it can go. A battery sensor sits under a heater or behind a washing machine; a mains unit needs an outlet in the one place you are expecting water.

How do you want to reach it?

An alarm you can only hear is no use when the house is empty, which is the whole argument for a phone alert — and the reason the vacation-home class exists at all.

Any brand in particular?

Only brands with at least eight products in this corpus are offered — a filter that returns three products is not a filter. Unlike every other question here, this one excludes products whose listing does not name a brand: a seller who did not say who made it has not made a YoLink.

Smart-home compatible only

The one specification in this corpus that states its own negative: 283 listings say they are compatible and 225 say they are not, so an unticked box is not the same as an absent answer.

How to read the results

The figure beside each result is its weight, and beneath it, where one exists, the median for its own class and size band. 403 of the 988 products state a weight; the rest appear unbanded rather than being dropped. Where a class holds fewer than eight products with a stated figure, no median is shown — 13 class cells clear that floor here.

Why power and control are the questions that matter

Weight is asked first only because it is the numeric the baselines are computed from. It is the least useful question on this page. Power source decides where a device can physically go — a battery puck sits under a water heater or behind a washing machine, while a mains unit needs an outlet in the one place you are expecting water. Control method decides whether you find out: an alarm you can only hear is no use in an empty house, which is the entire argument for a phone alert and the reason the vacation-home class exists.

The one specification that states its own negative

Smart-home compatibility is the only field in this corpus where a listing says no as often as it says yes — 283 state that they are compatible and 225 state that they are not. Everywhere else, and on every other site here, an absent specification means only that nobody wrote it down. That distinction is worth keeping: filtering for smart-home compatibility excludes the 225 that ruled themselves out, and keeps the ones that simply never said.

What the finder cannot tell you

It cannot tell you whether a valve fits your pipe, because pipe size is stated by too few listings to compare. It cannot tell you whether a system qualifies for an insurance discount, because that depends on your insurer rather than on the hardware — see the insurance eligibility guide for what actually decides it. And it cannot tell you whether a sensor will still be reporting in five years, which is the question that matters most and is not a specification at all.
