If anyone has installed a water alarm/alert in the water tank pan, which one did you select? The Internet shows dozens of products but the reviews are inconsistent and can sometimes appear biased.

After about 14 or 15 yrs I noticed corrosion on top of the tank around the pvc pipe and decided to get it out before something happened. I have heard that a tank can blow right thru the roof.
We had a tankless water heater installed and we find it great. About thirty seconds or so to push cold water out before hot water is better than constantly heating water that sits in the tank until needed.
TECO contacted a plumber and after installation billed us on our monthly bill. No tank and we had the controls, except the heat control, mounted on the outside of the house.
The new construction south of 44 is all tankless.
