how does it detect leaks?

The only way I detect leaks in toilet tanks is by hearing dripping water in them and then investigating. This device is still working great in the tank I installed it since my original review (2+ yrs). Maybe I don't understand the question.CB

what they mean by detects leaks is if you have a leak, after sufficient water leaks out, you will HEAR the hydroclean WHOOSH as it comes on momentarily to replenish the leaked water. obviously it's a round about leak detector, however because it is fairly LOUD when it comes on, it's very easy, even for a novice, to figure out they have a leak.

So far ours is not leaking. That said it was only installed 2 months ago. Thanks for the heads up about this potential issue. I'll keep an eye on it and update my review if it becomes a problem.

I have used mine a few times with no leaks even left it hooked up a few hours to test and it held set pressure. Maybe try new male connector on your hose and see if it helps

It depends how bad it is leaking but on a new one it shouldn't be noticeable. It is not uncommon for them to leak a little with wear.

This device is intended to measure the temperature of surfaces, as walls, floors, ceilings and such. IF you had a warm wall with cold water leaking behind it, OR a cold wall with hot water leaking behind it, the device may be able to detect that, but I certainly wouldn't want to guarantee that. If you have water leaking behind a wall, it would seem as you should see some puddling, weeping, or evidence of water in the area ??Russ Pratt, Webster, MA

I have not had an issue with leaking yet. Have been using one for about a two weeks so sorry will know more in a month or so.

Since I'm no expert in UV illumination, I haven't the slightest clue. If you are talking about propellents in an air-conditioning system, I believe there are much better methods of detecting leaks. But, again, I have no clue.

Water will flow through the unit until the sensor detects a leak. There is an audible alarm then as well as a flashing light. There is no water flow then.

It does not detect a bursted pipe. It is a sensor for a salt swimming pool system to active the generation of chlorine from salt

Make sure the opening is tightly closed. put soapy water on it to see if it leaks. Bubbles should show if there is a leak. We didn't have any trouble with our two chairs. Love them!!!

So far I have not had any leak problems. But I will put it to the test today and let you know.

Not sure how you'd determine what detected heat was a water leak and not just heat conduction from the pipe. A good moisture sensor might work, or a pressure test of pipe sections.

Without emptying it and filling with a thinner liguid ,I have no idea. I have 3 and have no leakage problem.

I have two of them. No leaks that I can detect. There is a negative pressure inside the barrel when the vacuum is running so even if there was a gap at the seam dust would be kept inside.

I've been using it with a rag rug under it, but so far I have not seen any indication of any leakage whatsoever.

If it is hot water the wall propably is quite warm near the leakage on a pretty large area. In that case B&D; of course might detect the leakage. B&D; and other thermal leak detectors only measures the temperature of a surface.

It should alert you on your humidifier or dehumidifier. Other than that I don't know as it was for my brother not me.
