That may be what I go with, I'll try making this one first.  The ones you buy just look better.

You could just remove the sensor plate, since its basically just a load of metal tracks that get bridged by water to make a circuit, and run two wires to the floor where the water will be.

Hmm, so if any of that gets wet it registers right?  That might work just fine.

Look what this guy made!  Our farm isn't that big but this would still be pretty useful!

Yeah if you wet your finger and touch the plate it registers. Or put a drop of water on it.
