WATER ALERT SYSTEM OWNERS MANUAL
FOR SKUS: 691-3703, 691-3704, 691-3705
*ALL SKUS ARE SOLD SEPARATELY*
GENERAL USE AND APPLICATIONS
Insurance companies cite water damage from faulty plumbing, flooded
basements & frozen pipes as the third most common cause of
homeowner claims. While you can’t predict water leaks or mechanical
failure, you can improve your response time with a
Barracuda Water
Alert System
to help you protect your property and minimize repair
costs.
With the alert system, you use your smartphone to monitor for water
leaks, sump basin water levels and high or low temperature/humidity
levels to prevent damage. Water damage can be caused by frozen or
broken pipes, rusty water heaters, leaky roofs, basements and
foundations from snow, rain or floods, faulty plumbing installation, sump
pump basin overflow, leaky dishwasher hoses and washing machine
overflow.
Monitor and protect property:
By purchasing and connecting a
control tower/gateway to your existing network router, and downloading
the app from
www.barracudapumps.com/alerts.
The control tower/
gateway will communicate with the separately purchased sensors/
probes to monitor your home and will send you text and e-mail alerts.
MONITORING APPLICATIONS
Home, second home, office or rental property
Kitchens, baths, laundry & pool rooms
Utility sinks, sumps & water heaters
Basements, garages, attics, greenhouses & farms
Sump pump basins
Near aquariums & terrariums
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT (NOT INCLUDED)
Two AAA 1.5V Alkaline batteries
Browser with high speed Internet
Network router
HOW IT WORKS
The wireless water alert sensor(s)/probe(s) monitors wet/dry
conditions, water level and temperature/humidity; it sends the
data to the control tower/gateway up to 200 ft. (60.96m). See
important setup and operation section for range information.
Connect the control tower/gateway to your network router with
the included LAN cable. The control tower/gateway uses your
high speed Internet connection to send the data to your app.
Information can be viewed via the app and text and email
alerts will be sent. (1 year included)
Add up to 5 wireless remote & sensors/probes (sold
separately) per control tower/gateway to monitor in other
areas.
