Field notes

The proposed setup uses a skimmer-mounted sensor and a battery-powered valve that screws onto an outdoor hose tap; the page says neither wiring nor plumbing work is needed. Its leak timeline is explicitly illustrative, with detection speed dependent on leak size, weather, and pool use. The listed prices are preliminary, and the page frames the Bay Area pilot as a way to gather input before launch.
