Water Detection
When the WET Stake detects water, it will notify you via text or call. The top of the stake will flash a blue light 10 times every 30 seconds. To turn off the flashing light, press the power button once while the light is off. You will see a single flash confirming it’s turned off. Remember to turn the device on again the next time you want to set it for water detection.
Battery
The battery lasts about 2-3 days with normal usage, and a text notification will alert you when it’s low. On sunny days, the solar panel will effectively keep the WET Stake charged.
