Gen-Ear LE® Water Leak Location System
Sound Investment!
Now, a smaller investment gets you a better method for tracking down water leaks. The new Gen-Ear LE is a simplified, more economical water leak locator with stronger sound amplification than other systems. Use it to pinpoint leaks in residential and commercial water lines, whether they are under concrete slabs, in walls, swimming pools and more.
The compact amplifier fits easily in the palm of your hand. It provides noise-free amplification with built-in preset audio filters, so you don’t have guess what settings to use. And the high performance headphones with noise cancellation features block out interference from surrounding ambient noise. The ground sensor listens for the gurgling or hammering of water escaping from a cracked pipe under concrete, asphalt, or tile. For soft surfaces like grass or carpet, use the probe rods. Or, for above ground pipes or hydrants, you can use both the probe rods or the magnet attachment.
For especially hard to find leaks, the Sound Amplification Manifold (SAM) adds air to the line, increasing water pressure. This amplifies the leak sounds, making them easier to locate. The Gen-Ear LE will save you a lot of guesswork and unnecessary digging. And that saves you a lot of money.

Finding the leak starts with a quality Ground Sensor. It locates leaks through hard surfaces, concrete,tile, etc. Threaded nipple accommodates sectional probe rods or magnet. Wind proof, shock resistant housing protects against handling noise interfering with locating process.
Take the leak sounds and pump them through the powerful Amplifier with built-in preset audio filters, low battery indicator light, and volume control. It’s mounted in a durable housing that fits easily in the palm of your hand. Safety mute button automatically shuts down the system when the headphones are removed to extend battery life. Includes built in flashlight for night location jobs. Operates on two AA batteries.

Sound surveying is much easier with the Sensor Magnet attachment. It threads onto the sensor to listen for leaks through above ground pipes, fire hydrants, water mains, iron valves, or steel pipes and fittings
Hard to find leaks get a boost with the Sound Amplification Manifold (SAM). It helps amplify hard to hear leaks by using air to pressurize the water line making leak location easier.
High quality David Clark® Headphones give you the clearest sound with superb noise cancellation features to block out interference from surrounding ambient noise.

Locator and Transmitter
To find a water leak, you’ve first got to know where the water lines are. Locating buried pipes and utilities used to be tough. Not anymore! With General’s Hot Spot pipe locator and transmitter combination, locating is easier than ever. The 5-watt transmitter makes it easier because it gives you more signal to find. And the pipe locator’s on-screen icons lead you right to your target, without the long learning curve.
