While at the Annapolis Boat Show, we ran across a "new" holding tank monitoring system from Electrosense. The sensor is comprised of a series of rigid rods that measure various levels within the tank and report them to a monitor that can be powered by either 12V or a 9V battery. I have an older Snake River monitoring system that is a bit less user friendly than the Electrosense appears to be, but was wondering if anyone has actually used the Electrosense and can provide any input. Any thoughts appreciated.

My $.02 worth...
I found the website: http://www.electrosense.com/index.html
I'm not a fan of any tank gauge that has senders INSIDE a tank exposed to tank contents, especially not in waste tanks. 'Cuz ALL internal senders get coated with the animal fats in waste which prevents 'em from reading anything and requires removing 'em to clean 'em. Not a job anyone enjoys!
What about your SR system makes it less user-friendly than this system?

Peggie asked me to stop by and comment and see if I could help
Our capasitence rods do not foil in a waste tank. The rods are sealed and read through the PVC to get a very accurate reading. The electronics are sealed in epoxy. We have been making them for years with no problems. I just looked at the electrosense, I have no first hand knowedge of this unit. Our unit you buy the sensor you want and the panel and use standard wire to make your connections. This is the only input I can give but would be happy to talk to anyone about our units. Our units are very user friendly. The Snake River unit I sold for years till I decided that a new better unit was needed in the market and the Snake River Engineer and my self came up with a very friendly user panel and better sensors. Our 8 tank panel is self programing by the customer, snake River was not. Our solo panel and can be sent of different tank shapes and will read just about any sensor on the market. So if you need any questions answered please feel free to send me an email.
I also forgot to mention that our Legacy 8 tank has the current 10 boats of catalina pre programed in the panel since our panel is there standard unit. They are also using our Single tank model in some boats.
Also till Christmas I am giving a 20% discount on all orders over $125 plus I am also giving free shipping in the US and discounted shipping around the world. This discount will be till the end of December. The 20% will be refunded back to your credit card prior to shipping.
Thanks
