Re: Waste tank sensor
In my case I want to mount it on the wall behind the master head as this is the one that is important. The SCAD unit is small and more aesthetic for my application.
Question remains, who makes the most durable/reliable head unit?
After install I will get back to you in a few years to see how it's doing.

It does say that but you cannot believe everything you read.

Re: Waste tank sensor
Regarding the WEMA holding tank sender, consider that it's just another float system unless something has changed. The outer casing helps to keep large solids away from the float but the float is still in contact with waste and will eventually foul up and require cleaning. Will the rod type MODA sensor require a wipe down after several years? Maybe, but I suspect you can minimize that with some regular preventive maintenance, namely what you put in your tank to maintain it.

Re: Waste tank sensor
Sounds like the two brands are pretty similar operationally. I've seen the SCADs but haven't really looked into them that much. Time to do some research!! I do like the programability of the i-Series though and that I can have all my three tanks and more in one unit (up to 8). I don't have 8 tanks but I can get pretty creative and probably come up with something else to monitor besides tanks, including things that you want alarms on. Oh Oh, did I just raise an eyebrow Hans?
