Water Sensor Battery Very Short Life Span
I have six Water Sensors throughout my home. For some reason, I have had to replace the battery in one of them each month since I installed it four months ago while I have not had to replace any of the batteries in the others since I installed them well over a year ago. I have been using different packages and different manufactures: Duracell and Energizer. Anyone have any idea why this one Water Sensor is burning through batteries while the others go so much longer?

As a SimpliSafe veteran you may have already done this, but have you checked for possible sources of signal interference? Interference or a weaker signal, as Captain11 alluded to, can cause your device to work a bit harder to get the signal to your Base Station. This, in turn, uses more power lowering the lifespan of the battery in the device. Since you have multiple Water Sensors, another option before calling our Support Team could be to swap that sensor with another one of your sensors. That will allow us to see if the problem stays with the sensor or at that location.
