Electronic Leak Detectors
General Pipe Cleaners Gen-Ear LE
The Gen-Ear LE from General Pipe Cleaners is an easy-to-use, economical water leak locator with stronger sound amplification than other systems. The compact amplifier fits easily in the palm of your hand. It provides noise-free amplification with built-in preset audio filters so you operators have to guess what settings to use. High-performance headphones with noise cancellation feature block-out interference from surrounding ambient noise. The advanced acoustic sensor listens for the gurgling or hammering of water escaping from a cracked pipe under any surface, like concrete, tile, grass or carpet. For especially hard-to-find leaks, the Sound Amplification Module adds air to the line, increasing the water pressure and thus amplifying the leak sounds and making them easier to locate. 800-245-6200; www.drainbrain.com
