100.00+ for the module and probe is not cheap

 

[cdrewferd]

Not cheap, but it's honestly not that expensive either.

I made my own for 5 dollars

I used the alumimum duct work tape (duct like for HVAC, not duck tape)
Ran two strips, A and B
used two wires going to the breakout box for a switch
If switched is closed, there is water - send me a message

Dave I tried the same thing. No dice. I read that some people needed to add power to the strip while others didnt. Wonder what I did wrong?

Did I use the wrong tape maybe?

Is the tape to close to each other?

 

[djkms]

No, the closer the better so a drop of water can complete the circuit.

Ok I was just wondering if its to close it might jump circuit on its own but you would probably have to be running some serious voltage for that to happen.

Not cheap, although could save an entire tank in the long run. Here is a cheaper alternative. Not to say it looks even half as pleasing: http://www.amazon.com/Sonin-00702-W...1360882383&sr=8-2&keywords=water+floor+sensor
...Not quite sure this would be functional on a tank.

I made a leak detector out of a old smoke alarm, wire and that silver ventilation tape. Not as fancy as something hooked up to a controller that sends an email but it worked.
