Frequently Asked Questions

ANS: The NO MORE OVERFLOWS is completely safe. The outlet plug socket is not providing electricity to the control box or to the water detection probes. A 9 volt battery is doing all the work.

ANS: The GFCI Socket is already UL Labs approved, any item that is plugged into that socket is safety protected.

ANS: The Battery should be changed annually,if the low battery light is on or if you had a potential flood. (The battery is in full use whenever the NO MORE OVERFLOWS probes are wet. Odds are that if you had an incidence, the battery will be low!).

ANS: The most effective method for detecting water on a floor would be to insert the probe into a sponge and place the sponge on the floor. This way you will be insured that both probes pick up a wet signal at the very start of water build up. However, detecting an overflow before it happens is the best way to avoid water damage and clean up headaches.

ANS: It depends upon how much water is part of the bubbling. Once both probes have been exposed to water through direct contact or through condensation of bubbles, the control box will send a signal to the GFCI to shut the circuit.

ANS: Yes. No matter where the GFCI socket/breaker is located on the laundry room circuit, it will be tripped. Note that you will not be able to see that the circuit has been tripped, unless you have purchased the NMO-B model (which has a visible power light) . Also note that if you have multiple GFCI’s in the same circuit the one closest to the washer is usually the one that will trip.
