Description
Common water detection sensors are leak detectors and rain drop detectors. A leak detector can be useful for monitoring leaks from a water heater, washing machine, under a sink, or a sump pit. Monitoring when rain occurs with rain drop detectors is useful in a plant, lawn, or garden watering system in order to turn the water off when it rains.
Leak detectors usually have a probe with two external electrodes. The effectiveness of this type of sensor depends on the electrical conductivity or resistivity of the water its detecting. If the water is not conductive enough, then the probe will not be able to detect the water. To make the probe more robust to high resistivity water content, you can add some salt on the floor near the electrodes so that it dissolves in the water before coming into contact with the electrode.
Rain drop detectors act as a switch when rain falls on the sensor and can also be used to measure the intensity of the rainfall. The sensor usually comes with a signal processing module that can output an analog signal for measuring the amount of rainfall and a digital signal for rain detection with a potentiometer for adjusting the sensitivity threshold.
More details on how leak detectors and rain drop detectors work can be found in the Water Monitoring System Components article.
