Diversitech Wet Switch Flood Detector WS-1 – 8 in x 1.55 in x 9.6 in Flood Sensor

Overview

The Diversitech Wet Switch Flood Detector WS-1 is a compact moisture sensor designed to help prevent water damage in homes and small spaces. Its slim 8 in by 1.55 in by 9.6 in footprint fits discreetly in tight corners and near appliances, making it suitable for laundry rooms, basements, and near sump lines. It can help guard carpets, walls, furniture, and ceilings from water exposure.

A hydrophilic pad made of high tech polymeric fiber draws water into the sensor array through proven capillary action, while integral feet lift the unit to help minimize contact and corrosion risk. This design supports easy placement under appliances, along basement edges, or in laundry areas where sudden leaks can occur.

How it works

• Structured pad network collects moisture quickly for prompt sensing
• Capillary action funnels water into the sensor array for reliable detection
• Integral feet elevate the detector to reduce direct surface exposure

Why it may matter for your space

• Standard 24VAC CONTROL simplifies wiring and integration with existing systems
• Built-in test and reset button makes installation and verification straightforward
• Compact size suits residential rooms, basements, kitchens, and utility areas

Note that this device is designed to help flag moisture and potential water exposure; actual results depend on environmental conditions and system setup. It is intended to complement existing water management plans by providing early alerts and an actionable indicator for targeted response.
