Tips & Tricks: Smarter Leak Detection Starts with Smarter Sensors

Tips & Tricks: Smarter Leak Detection Starts with Smarter Sensors

Not all leaks happen the same way—or in the same place. That’s why the D-Link SW-A11KT Water Sensor Kit gives you two types of detection in one powerful package:

  • A main plug-in sensor with a 1.5 ft. Water Sensing Cable that detects along its full length
  • A battery-powered wireless pod for flexible placement in tight places where power outlets aren’t available

Here’s how to put both to smart use:

Use the Sensing Cable for Spread-Out or Linear Leaks

The included 1.5 ft sensing cable (which comes with a 3 ft. extension cable) detects water along the entire cord—perfect for:

  • Basements or utility rooms, where water can seep in across a surface
  • Under hot water tanks, sump pumps, or HVAC systems where puddles spread
  • Around foundation edges or crawlspaces for perimeter protection

With its built-in 100 dB siren and LED strobe, the main unit also makes sure you’re alerted—right at the source.

Use the Battery-powered Wireless Water Sensing Pod for Tight or Power-Free Spots

The included battery-powered sensor pod uses contact probes on the bottom, making it ideal for:

  • Under dishwashers or washing machines, where leaks are often hidden
  • Behind fridges or under sinks, where plugs are hard to reach
  • Under or behind your aquarium, where power access may be limited or space is tight

You can even add up to 15 additional pods for whole-home or small business coverage—no wiring required.

Rich Alerts to your SmartPhone, No Hub Needed

Get alerts on your smartphone via the free AQUILA PRO AI app, and stay in control from anywhere. Whether you’re at home or away, you’ll know before a small leak becomes a big problem.

One sensor doesn’t fit all—but with D-Link’s SW-A11KT, you’re ready for whatever water has in store.
