Will the NetBotz Fluid Detector (FD100 or NBES0301) detect 100% pure water?

Issue:

Will the NetBotz Fluid Detector (FD100 or NBES0301) detect 100% pure water

Product Line:

NetBotz

Environment:

NetBotz fluid detectors NBES0301 and NBFD0100

Cause:

Fluid detectors work using conductivity. Pure water is not conductive enough to sense.

Resolution:

The NetBotz Fluid Detector will detect distilled water but not 100% pure water.

However, the NetBotz Fluid Detector will probably work in most environments as the minute pure water makes contact with any impure surface (metal pans, floors, etc..) it will pickup ions and should immediately become conductive.
