Electrical
Tek-Tanks electrical water senders and gauges
are fitted as original equipment by most major UK boat builders.
Made from ABS which will not corrode, they are reliable and
easy to install. A float, holding twin magnets, rises and
falls with the water level and triggers a series of electronic
switches housed and sealed within the tube.
The system is simple and with no mechanical moving parts
to wear, it is very durable and can withstand the constant
movement of the contents much better than the 'car type' floating
arm sender. 
The
sender head has a1 1/4" BSP male thread, with double
'O' rings for an efficient seal. We offer a series of fitting
flanges to suit most situations. Our senders can be custom
built to replace faulty floating arm units, including VDO
and the American specification which works in reverse to the
UK version.
The sender is supplied to suit the depth of the tank and
is calibrated during manufacture. Fitting is as easy as screwing
in the sender and joining two wires to the gauge. At extra
cost, we can supply senders to trigger any type of gauge,
or have special calibration for heavily shaped tanks. As standard
we keep senders in stock ranging from 200mm to 600mm in 50mm
increments. Specials can be ordered but will take about 10
days to supply.
Tek-Tanks
water senders can also be used to switch a pump on and off
if used with a relay block designed specifically for the purpose,
ideal for automatically emptying grey water tanks used
for sink and shower waste. Please phone for more details.

For
a twin tank installation that has isolated tanks and the contents
of each tank need to be read separately, then a dual panel
is available which uses a common gauge and a simple switch
which is normally off but can be switched to read the contents
of each individual tank. Please phone for more details.
