[RE-wrenches] Battery hydration system info

[Kevin Pegg]

Hello, 

I've worked with a few different systems over the years. The system by aquapro has performed the best for us, with the few infrequent failures resulting in overflows. Which is better than some previous units that would fail to fill and boil cells dry if client wasn't paying close attention. 

Not sure on specifics of the old system, but plumbing is generally pretty flexible to adapt.

Hey Jay,

I've replaced a few of the older automatic systems with what I usually recommend in their place - an elevated 3 gallon plastic reservoir with a filling hole cut in the top - leading to a petcock and tube to another petcock controlled nozzle that can be brought to each battery filler cap and easily controlled to deliver the exact amount needed.  Add a flashlight and voila.

However as you well know voila is not so easy as It does require the folks to actually remember to water their batteries.  An auto email every 3 months with a followup to see if they did it is probably as reliable as an automatic system that no-one checks on.  I don't know - have folks had good history with automatic systems?

It's an uphill battle either way - and as you probably know - it really comes down to a client who "gets it"  - that their $5K-25K investment needs an hour of their time every 3 months or so.

I have had some luck with service contracts - for local clients - unfortunately half my clients are spread half way round the world - so that doesn't help either in those cases.

Probably not telling you anything you don't already know - but saw that no-one else responded so wanted to see if we could get a rise out of the list - perhaps someone out there knows of those parts?

Best,

Jeff
