Had a water overflow on my autopot today. Looking to add a wifi water/drip/leak detector that will go to my phone. (I run ACI equipment, but don’t see an option in the brand).
Anyone have one they recommend? And pointers on placement, etc.
Thanks!

This is the issue that has kept me from dabbling in hydroponics. Make sure to share if you find anything.

They make alarms for hot water heater leak detection and basements.
Knock on a solid piece of wood I’ve never had an issue 
But I don’t use auto pots either 
Could start here…

Set your Autopots into a large tote to contain any leaks.

Luckily it was only a couple gallons but still a pain to soak up during lights off. I’m going to put the tote under it like @Myfriendis410 suggested. Seems like a great option.

One of those might be good for when I am running RO filter into a bucket…get stoned and forget I am doing that…finally realize I have been wasting water with the bucket overflowing (Only took once just having the bucket on the floor and flooding my bedroom to at least put it in the tub)

I did that after I lost 12 gallons of rez water: mopping the concrete floor in the basement was a bummer.
I went to my local car wash and got a 35 gallon drum for free. Cut part of the lid, thoroughly cleaned it out and that was my R/O supply. @Not2SureYet is using it now.

That would suck big time! Luckily mine was contained to the tent and only a couple gallons.

The tote is in place 
it’s like lifting a tree trying to get it under there. Thanks all for chiming in! Much appreciated!

I add 2 popcycle sticks under the float valve tray. Where the line goes into the aquavalve. All my leaks I have got were from there. Having the level raise just a bit more than the cut out. I had some water leak detectors in my cart in amazon. They re did that and I lost most of what I had saved for later. Some thing like these.

That has always worked for me. I dumped about 4 gallons in my room when I had no tent. I was using the tent floor though. It held a little water. But most came through the seams. All that was needed was to lift the edge there a little bit and I haven’t had an issue since.
