1 / 7X-Sense SWS0A41 Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector, IP67
The X-Sense SWS0A41 Wi-Fi Water Leak Detector pairs water sensors with a base station alarm and app alerts. Its claimed IP67 rating, top-and-bottom probes and slim profile suit placement near appliances or in cramped areas, while only the base station sounds when water is detected.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Combines app notifications with a local base station alarm, giving both remote and audible alerts when water is detected.
- Top and bottom probes are designed for water on the floor and drips from above.
- Slim stated dimensions may help fit the sensor into narrow spaces.
Cons
- The detector itself flashes a light but does not sound an alarm. Audible notification comes from the base station only.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing details are inconsistent about the kit configuration: the colour field says “4 Water Detectors & 1 Base Station”, while an item highlight specifies an SBS50 base station. Confirm the selected listing's contents and base-station model before ordering. The claimed 500 m range applies to open areas, and battery-life figures are listing claims.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Households wanting app leak alerts as well as a base station alarm.
- People placing detectors near sinks, dishwashers, water heaters or other leak-prone areas.
- Buyers who need a slim sensor for a confined location.
Less suited to
- Buyers who need an audible alarm from each individual detector rather than from the base station.
- Anyone needing a stated wireless range guaranteed through walls or in a built-up home.

Customer feedback highlights perceived good quality, reliability and ease of setup and connection. This is encouraging for buyers planning to rely on app-linked alerts, though feedback does not establish alert performance in a particular home. Ratings are mostly five-star with some lower ratings, so experiences are not uniformly positive.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the detector as good quality and reliable.
- Customers appreciate that it is easy to set up and connect.
Frequently asked questions
Does the detector itself make a sound when it detects water?
No. The listing says the detector flashes red, while the base station emits the alarm, which is specified as up to 100 dB.
Can it send alerts when I am away from home?
The listing claims app alerts to your phone when a leak is detected, including when you are away.
What is the claimed wireless range?
The stated maximum is 500 metres, described as applying in open areas. The listing does not establish that range through walls or indoors.
How long do the batteries last?
The listing claims up to three years from the batteries and says replacing them can extend the detector's lifespan to five years. These are manufacturer claims, not guaranteed durations.
