The short answer

Yes, there are wireless water sensors you can move between homes. Our sensors are designed to be portable and stay with you when you relocate.

Can I take water sensors with me when I move?

If you rent or move often, you need a leak detection system that moves with you. Our wireless water sensors are designed for exactly that. You can place them in one home, then take them to the next without leaving anything behind.

They don’t require professional installation. You can set them up yourself in minutes by placing the sensors where leaks are most likely and connecting the base unit to power.

How portable water sensors work across homes

Each sensor connects wirelessly to the Smart Hub, which communicates with the Aqua Link Connect app on your phone. When you move, you take both the sensors and the Smart Hub with you. Once in your new home, plug in the Smart Hub and place the sensors where leaks are most likely.

You can set up the system quickly in any home. The wireless sensors and Smart Hub work the same way no matter where you install them.

What makes a water sensor truly portable?

Does it need wiring or drilling?

No. A truly portable sensor uses no wires and requires no permanent fixtures. Our sensors sit in place and start working immediately.

Can I monitor it from anywhere?

Yes. Our mobile app works on iOS and Android, so you can check your sensors’ status when you’re away from home.

Do I have to pay monthly fees?

No. You own the system outright with no recurring charges.

Why renters and frequent movers choose this system

Water damage can happen in any home, and early detection matters no matter where you live. Since you’re not tied to one location, having a system that moves with you means consistent protection across rentals and residences.

The system has no monthly fees and each sensor has a 10-year, tamper-resistant battery. You own the equipment outright and can use it for years without recurring costs.

Steps to use water sensors in multiple homes

  1. Pack the sensors and base unit when you move.
  2. Place sensors under sinks, near water heaters, or behind appliances in your new home.
  3. Plug in the base unit and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
  4. Download or open the mobile app to confirm all sensors are active.

Our recommendations reflect general industry best practice. Every home has different safety needs. An in-home inspection is the best way to learn exactly what your home requires.
