Abstract
The present disclosure provides a device and a method for detecting leak in a tankless water heater. According to the present disclosure, a leak detection device is disposed on a base of the tankless water heater. The leak detection device includes a leak sensor and at least one absorption arm extending from the leak sensor. The absorption arm wicks water and transports the wicked water towards the leak sensor. The leak sensor generates a signal indicative of leakage in the tankless water heater, in response to sensing wetness.
