CAUTION
The water heater must be installed on a level floor.
WARNING
The Leak Sensor can be mounted in a water heater drain pan. If the installation does not use a
drain pan, the dam should be used to corral the water heater tank leak to the Leak Sensor.
The bottom of the Leak Sensor must be touching the floor. Failure to do so will result in
inaccurate leak detection.
