I've used the Liquid Precision units because they work with a gravity
feed system with the tank just a few feet above the batteries. I
haven't had any operational problems with them, yet. But I've broken
several of them just trying to install or remove them. And they have
to be removed to check specific gravity. I wouldn't give them a
favorable recommendation either. I wish that I could still get the units that were made by Wastermaster, but they are no longer available in the U.S. Kent Osterberg Blue Mountain Solar, Inc R Ray Walters wrote: I have to highly recommend against Battery FIlling Systems. After 3 years trying to make their products work, we are pulling all watering systems out, and offering full refunds. Some of the caps leaked at only 1 psi of pressure, some overfilled the batteries causing acid spills, and the worst: some caps never filled at all, leaving some cells under filled. Repeated calls to their main contact Rob Source at Battery Filling Systems have gone unanswered. We're back to manual filling as we just haven't found anything reliable enough to deal with this extremely important task. Of 10 service call backs, 8 were problems with BFS products. (and we only made a couple of bucks per cell in the first place....) Please avoid this product like the plague!R.

We do not want to use Hydrocaps. Your suggestions for an automatic watering system would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. Happy Holidays.
