Easy to install sensor - definitely recommend!
It was super simple to install and worked right away - took about 10 minutes, if that. Most of the time, when it comes to devices like this, there is some configuration and troubleshooting. Not the case with this one. I've been having issues with my sump clogging every so often, and this was a simple fix. Now, I can be alerted immediately once the water level hits the sensor's point. I definitely recommend it!

Pretty simple setup, seems to be working as it should.
Exactly as advertised, with fairly easy setup if your half way tech savvy.Quality of product is pretty good, installation is plug and play. Just hoping it never ever gets used :)

Good price, works as advertised
Great to have a text or email if your pump fails, never happens when u are home so this is a big plus

Seems like it's working fine
The physical installation of the sensor and battery unit in my sump pump was easy. Some of the directions can use some upgrading. Such as "install 3 batteries" and there is only one battery included in the shipping box in the plastic bag. One would think they forgot to send the other 2 batteries. Until you open the battery unit and see that they have installed the other 2 batteries already. Would be nice to know that before you go out and get 2 more batteries.Also, you need a micro screwdriver to open the battery unit. A regular, even small, screwdriver won't work.Finally, the directions to connect to your wi-fi and phone for emails and texts were somewhat challenging but I eventually got it to work. Connecting to the wi-fi was simple enough but the Android phone connection was a little more difficult. The Android phone message kept saying "cannot connect." However, I read a comment from another person on-line to "ignore the Android message and hit continue"...or a somewhat similar comment. And that worked! Seems like some Android phones have a glitch in connecting to the unit. So some instructions related to that possibility should be included with the directions.I tested it at least twice with a glass of water and it sent me an email and text message. I installed it before I left for an extended trip and hope that it is working, I also hope that I don't have a reason to prove it's working because my sump pump is overflowing and it sets off the My Spool alert to me. :).Anyway, that's why I titled this "seems" like it's working fine. Maybe "so far so good" would have been more appropriate. However, based on the test, I would recommend this product with some adjustments to the instructions as mentioned above.

It works as intended
it works as intended. I received both text and email alerts. The process of adding the device was a bit tricky because there is a delay, I returned the first unit because I thought it never connected but after receiving the replacement it appeared in devices.I used it to measure the pool level (inverted) to know when it's low, it worked as intended, although for this application it generated several alerts because the pool pump generates ripples in the water causing the float to go up and down sending several alerts. I think it will work better for water that sits still

Peace of mind
Installation was very easy. It certainly gives me a peace of mind knowing that if the sump pump was to go out for any reason, it is there for a second line defense. It sends a text instantaneously to my cell phone to let me know that there is rising water and we can catch it before the basement is flooded.

Perfect solution! Simplest thing ever.
Setup only took a few minutes. Installation into my sump pump took even less time. We have a crock that is constantly filling, and a sump failure gone undetected would be horrible in a finished basement. This has to be the simplest device to let you know of any issues, especially while away from home. Just a fantastic product and no fees! The original "alarm" that came "professionally installed" isn't nearly as nice and functional. Don't hesitate!!! Grab this so you don't come home from vacation and find you house became a pool.

Good product to detect increasing sump pit water leves - works exactly as described.
What an economical and effective product! My set-up and test worked perfectly (text and e-mail alerts). The only two things that would improve this design are 1) the incorporation of a loud, audible alarm 2) 5G wireless transmitter as opposed to being reliant on household Wifi. During a major rain/thunderstorm, the biggest concern is the power being knocked out and the sump pump/pit potentially overflowing due to lack of household power - in this scenario, this product would not provide an alert because it requires Wifi to send alerts, and Wifi will not work without household power. Still nice to have this product for situations of pump failure or other scenarios to detect high water in your sump pit. Good but not a perfect product in my view.
