Thanks 😊

Thank you for another great and informative video Chris! Definitely going to consider looking into this product. I purchased water sensors several yearsago and never got them out of the box and placed them down. Maybe this will give me the incentive to get going on it. 🥴

[@handydadtv]

Oh you definitely should!

[@EpicConspiracy]

Nice video. I change my washer hoses once a year. Everyone should really. Your shutoff valves won’t lock up closed and your hoses will always be in top shape.

[@handydadtv]

Good tip 👍🏻

Cool product and could save you thousands avoiding a leak. I did the same thing with samsung smart things products. I put then behind the toilets and under the kitchen sink.

I asked a question on an old video you made installing french doors in your home office. I asked because I want to know if you had to get the doors made.

[@handydadtv]

It’s often easier to modify the rough opening to fit a standard door instead of getting a custom door.

[@WillAnderson4]

Would you want the sensors pointing down so they detect the water faster? Now you have to wait for the sensor to be submerged for the metal connectors to alarm.

[@handydadtv]

They have one set of sensors on top and two sets on the bottom.

I would totally add the water valve shutoff but my 1950's house has NO shutoff. The only way I can shut off the water is at the curb. I would have to get individual shutoffs for each water source (2 toilets, washer, dishwasher, waterheater).

[@handydadtv]

Yikes. My 2 cents: spend the money to have a plumber install a ball valve on the incoming water main to have a whole-house shutoff inside the house.

I'm 59 years old and I've never heard of braided stainless steel hoses breaking or leaking. Wouldn't that take enormous water pressure to break them?

[@handydadtv]

Many installers use inexpensive rubber hoses so I wasn’t just talking about mine. But a braided hose is just a rubber hose inside the braid so it may not burst but it can certainly develop a leak.

[@MooseNY]

Those hoses should probably be replaced every 5 years since the rubber inside those hoses can break down over time

Nice! I just bought some Govee smart leak sensors. Would you happen to know if they'll also talk directly to their smart plugs? And are they talking via bluetooth?

[@handydadtv]

I’m have no idea about Govee or how they communicate. The YoLink ones use LoRa which is separate from Bluetooth or any other communications.
