Hi All,
Was chatting to someone at the weekend who recently found that he'd had a tiny leak in the boat (still not sure if was from the water system or from outside). But when he took the floor up to do something else, found a thick layer of rust all over the base plate, it was about half inch of rusty bits, so pretty serious corrosion, albeit on a very old boat. But it must have been slowly leaking and causing the corrosion for years unnoticed.
Anyway, it got me thinking about having an early warning system, so after asiking Google, I found these: http://www.envirotechalarms.com/water-leak-detection-kits/
It says they are 240v, but I caan ask them if they do or can adapt it to run on 12v. But I was wondering if anyone has anything like this?
I'm thinking...... it would identify a leak in various key places under the floor and just set a flashing light or buzzer off if it happened, it seems like a no brainer, but why haven't I heard of anyone doing this already? :-/
Cheers,
Steve
