Aqua Link Connect keeps you connected to your home's water protection from anywhere. Pair it with your Aqua Link water sensors, Bedside Control Center, and Smart Hub to catch a leak or a freeze the moment it starts — and get an alert before a small problem becomes a costly one. No monthly monitoring fees. No contracts. You own your protection. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every sensor at a glance — by room, with temperature, battery, and last-checked status • Get instant alerts by push, text, and email the moment moisture or a freezing temperature is detected • Know exactly where the problem is — “Moisture detected at the Water Heater” — not just that something's wrong • Add up to 8 contacts so family, neighbors, or a property manager are notified too • “Peek In” any time to check on your home while you're away • Confirm your Smart Hub is online and your network is healthy BUILT FOR PEACE OF MIND • Self-monitoring — you're in control, with no monthly fees • Freeze detection helps you get ahead of frozen and burst pipes • Ideal for primary homes, vacation properties, and rentals • Designed and engineered in the U.S.A. HOW IT WORKS Place wireless Aqua Link water sensors anywhere water could leak — under sinks, behind the washer, by the water heater, near the sump pump. They talk to your Smart Hub, which keeps this app updated in real time. If a sensor detects moisture or a drop toward freezing, everyone on your contact list knows in seconds.
