Product QuestionsAnswered by Jim, the Water Pump Expert
What is the best sump pump alarm?

Answer
Well, that can be a matter of opinion. Our best selling sump pump alarm right now is the Basement Watchdog model BWD-HWA, which is a basic alarm with a sensor. The Superior Pump Universal Sump & Sewage Pump Alarm System model 92060 is a little different style of alarm and can be used in both sump & sewage pump applications and is our #2 best selling alarm. If you are looking for a little more in an alarm system, the Protected Home Deluxe FreezeAlarm & Dialer model FA-D2 coupled with the Protected Home WaterSiren Plus model WS-04 will give you protection with extreme high or low temperatures and potential flooding by sounding an alarm AND calling up to 3 different phone numbers with a pre-recorded alert message. This system also has other capabilities when coupled with optional equipment such as a special second thermostat in your home. Please note that this system does require a land based phone system to carry out the call alerts.

Jim, are there any sensors that can detect water or moisture in the surrounding area? Like a five foot radius?

Answer
The basement Watchdog model BWD-HWA will detect water only 1/32" deep when the alarm is placed on floor. Most of our other ALARM SYSTEMS can either be placed on the floor or the sensors can be on the floor to provide an alert system for any flood prone area. As you can see, we also have systems that can be connected to a phone dialer to call any programed phone number to alert you of a possible flooding problem. As far as being able to detect water that is, say 5 feet away from a sensor, however, I don't believe there is anything available at this time.
