Folks, I'm looking to setup a bunch of water sensors for roof leak detection, broken washer hoses, hot water heater leaks, etc.
Since this is for a remote location and I'm looking for more than a few sensors, I'm thinking more along the lines of the GRI 2600 than sensors like the waterbug. That's so I can wire a 2600 per zone and have an idea of where the issue is without having the "processor" overhead/cost of the waterbug type units.
First, any pros/cons of this approach? Experience with these sensors or other suggestions?
Second, anyone know the run length limitations and/or what gauge wiring should be used? The building is 70' long so that's probably the longest I'd need for a roof sensor back to the panel.
Thanks
