Question 1

Can this be used to detect a tub that has overflowed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I believe so.
As long as you place it  out side the tub wall on the floor where  potential water will overflow, it will work.  The leak detector 4 sensors at the bottom of the device to alarm you whenever there is a pool of water.  Note : There is  also a sensor on the top ( two parallel lines) which can  detect a drip from the faucet also. Hope that helps.

Question 2

How do we silence the alarm in case we are cleaning water from the spot. Is it single click, double click or something else on the sensor button?
