Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Float Switch Alert System installed?

The Float Switch Alert System can be installed on HVAC equipment that has a float switch (aka, a condensate switch). The Float switch cable is connected to the existing wiring for the condensate overflow switch. This cable is plugged into the Floodie flood sensor which is placed inside the drain pan. No WiFi is required.

How does the Float Switch Alert System work?

The Float Switch Alert System is made up of four components:
‍
1. Floodie flood sensor
2. Float switch cable
3. Sensor Relay
4. AlertAQ™ water intelligence platform

When the float switch is triggered or there is water in the drain pan, Floodie uses its connection to Sensor Relay to tell AlertAQ™ to send the email or in-app, and push notification to assigned users’ phones – such as facility management teams.

Can the Float Switch Alert System work in commercial buildings?

Yes, it is designed for commercial, institutional and industrial buildings and is compatible with most building materials.
