Collection: Tank Safety

Equipment for the Hours You Are Away

Tanks rarely fail while someone is standing in front of them. A pump quits overnight, a union starts dripping into the stand, or a level moves between one test and the next. Everything on this page is bought ahead of that: it keeps water circulating, raises an alarm, or cuts the flow before a small fault becomes a floor full of saltwater.

Product Types Listed Here

• Leak probes and water sensors, including surface, under-carpet and cabinet-floor styles.
• Battery backups that keep a circulation pump running when the power drops.
• Titanium ground probes for grounding aquarium water.
• In-tank ammonia and pH indicators that show a reading continuously.
• Flood shutoff hardware and automated water change control.

Installation Notes

• Trip each sensor by hand after mounting it. An untested probe has never been proven to do anything.
• Mount leak probes at the lowest point of the stand, where water collects first.
• Confirm how a device reports. Some need a controller to raise the alarm; others are self-contained.
• Warning devices and backup power solve different problems. One gets your attention, the other holds the system together until you arrive.
