Water tanks level indicators/monitors

[Stevep]

HI all - well I just completed the successful instalation of 2 new polypropylene under settee water tanks. Unfortunately, I also just realized that it would be good if I could monitor the water level in each tank. So, has anyone had experience with waterlevel monitoring in a polypropylene water tank? Any suggestions. Thanks very much Steve

The Profile tank monitor is the only one worth spending money on in my opinion. Great product, very accurate and superb technical support.

Hi Tim - thanks for the quick response. I looked at that item but was concerned that it would not adhere to a polypro tank. Any thoughts? Steve

Thank you, also, Steve -- unless someone relates a negative experience with the SCAD monitor, it looks like I have found my solution. Steve

Steve, don't bother. You already HAVE a monitor! When one tank goes dry, you know you're "half full!" Don't leave the piping manifold valves open between them, switch off until one goes empty. Simple, you're done, no extra cost. (That's what we do and we have 28 gallon and 43 gallon tanks.)

I bought mine mainly to monitor the holding tank. I added the extra sensors for the water tanks.

Stu, how do you monitor the holding tank?

Stu -- that was my first inclination, but I wanted to try to keep the water in both tanks as fresh as possible by drawing from both tanks simultaneously, thus the need for a tank monitor. Steve

I've had a Hart Tank Tender for several months now, with two of the water tanks, the fuel tank, and the holding tank each having an air pressure sensor. Holding tank requires a little discharge system to purge the line. The whole system has worked just fine so far.
