I was studying the water pump & related today, so that I could feel ready to perform a swap if necessary while on the road. I don’t have any idea what this white box is (between the water pump & the electrical panel). It looks like a speaker or alarm of some sort. I’m guessing the original owner had installed it.
Any of you know what it is?
I’m guessing it’s a moisture alarm in case the water pump or related piping leaks. Looks like an isolation valve was installed as well, which is good!
It's a water alarm. Held in place by a couple of Velcro dots, so you should be able to pull it right off. It probably needs a new battery.
Looks like this one: THE BASEMENT WATCHDOG Model BWD-HWA 110 dB Battery Operated Water Alarm -...

As Andy said it probably needs a battery.
Since it is next to a 12vdc source, you could use this one: 12V DC Wired Water Detectors Water Leak Alarm Module Leakage Flood Sensor...

Thank you!!
I use this one.

Me too......in the LD plus all over our home.....
In both of my Lazy Daze coaches I installed this style water sensor.

I placed the sensor element on the floor by the water pump and the other on the floor under the sink and next to the water heater. What I liked was that the electronics and battery case could be placed in a location easily accessible to annually change the battery. Also the alarm sound would not be muffled by cabinetry.
Yes, I like the separate sensor type. That's what I used in Skylark.
Andy, I think I got the idea from your post many years ago and it made good sense! I will be using the same with my new Coach House when the time comes.
Again, Thank you!!
