ABSTRACT:
A water level detecting and alarm system for informing a user when a water level within a bathtub has risen to or above a desired level. The system includes a housing having an opening at one end forming a lower lumen and a closed end opposite thereof. A securing means is attached to a side of the housing for adjustably securing to an interior surface of the bathtub corresponding to desirable water level. A partition within the housing is oriented traverse to a longitudinal axis of the housing. A tube projects in and through the partition coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the housing. A shaft has a flanged end and a lower end, and slidably projects through the tube. A float slidably projecting in the lower lumen of the housing for having a latitude similar to the water level within the bathtub. The float is secured to the lower end of the shaft for elevating and descending the shaft in a manner corresponding to the water level. The flanged end prevents the float from being completely removed from the housing. An alarm device in the housing engages the flanged end of the shaft. Upon engagement of the flanged end with the alarm device, the alarm device emits an audible alarm warning a user that the water level is at a desired level.
