[Mark...]

In my every ending quest in my build, I find little gems and I thought I'd share this one. I'm sure you guys have heard about these or already use them. But in case you missed it:

are you going to use an apex or something else to control your system? They sell water sensors that can monitored by the controller this way if you do get a leak, the controller will shut down pumps, send an email and/or text message to you. This way when you aren't home (usually when leaks happen) you will be notified immediately. The ones you show are great but only if someone is home to hear the alarm going off.

I bet you could attach a couple of leads to the speaker and have it report to a controller like an apex or reefkeeper, this way you get alerts while you're away.

I figured I'd get a controller down the line, but use these in the mean time. Plus with 3, I can protect DT, Sump, and anything else.
