Hydro Shark

The Hydro Shark is designed to meet the tough demands of the water restoration industry. The Hydro Shark is the only moisture detector that was run over 3 times by an SUV and still worked. Even rough handling by busy technicians can’t hurt the Hydro Shark!

How it works 

The Hydro Shark is designed to check for the presence of moisture in carpet, drywall and wood. It can also detect moisture trapped by urine. Your Hydro Shark is always on and ready to go. The frequency of beeps determines how much moisture is present. Simply press the sensor probes into the material to be tested. If moisture is present, the beeper will sound and the display will light up.

How to use

 1) Unscrew the thumb screw slightly at the base and slide the probe assembly until it is fully extended. The moisture probes should now be protruding from the base of the tube assembly. Tighten the thumb screw. There is no need to use a large amount of force on the thumb screw. Make sure it is snug but not aggressively tight. The sensor probes are sharp so be careful! Put your finger across probes to test.

2) Poke the probe into carpet, sheet rock or wood. If moisture is present, the beeper will sound and the display will light up with a bio-hazardous sign. See picture upper left.

3) When finished, loosen the thumb screw and retract the probe assembly. Re-tighten the thumb screw. Your Hydro Shark is now in the safe position.

Battery Replacement

The Hydro Shark uses an Energizer 9 volt battery. To replace the battery, remove the single screw just below the Pro Grip handle and remove the display and component housing. Replace the battery and slide the housing back into the Hydro Shark tube assembly. Replace the screw.

Note: Use common sense with this or any other piece of equipment. This instrument could be perceived by some people as a weapon if you enter a bank, liquor store or airport.
