How to minimize drain pan water damage – VIDEO: Receive float switch and flood alerts

30% of truck rolls are due to clogged condensate lines. Knowing that the float switch was tripped on the air handler helps to get the right tech onsite before you get an emergency call from your customer. 

Now you can get notified when the float switch trips or there is water in the drain pan. New smart water sensors send alerts to your phone for floods, leaks, and clogged condensate lines. 

Watch this short video to see the float switch alert system in action.
