We’ve had one for a few years. It is fantastic!!!! Really cheap and easy to install. Easy to use. Accurate display of exact amount if water left. Love it

[@topargeerv]

Great to hear!

[@topargeerv]

The gauges are very accurate. Your usable water depends on where your exit point on your tank is. Some manufacturers put them on the side near the bottom so any water below that is unusable. If yours is on the very bottom check your gauge is set to H22. Also, have a look at our FAQ page where most questions are answered. www.topargee.com.au/faq Hope this helps Cheers

Does this get wired straight to the battery? Do I need a fuse?

[@brettchattaway5242]

It wouldn’t matter if your tank drains by gravity , sender would still do its thing hey?

[@topargeerv]

Yes the Sender doesn't know if you have a pump or not. The sender just does its job :)

[@brettchattaway5242]

Thanks mate

[@chrisjones1864]

How accurate are these ? I put a flush Mount in my camper, it’s meant to be a 155l tank but Topargee is telling me I only have 124l usable. I understand I won’t get exactly 155l but 124 is really low

[@topargeerv]

If your gauge is only measuring 124l usable then that is what is "available" Some manufacturers don't maximise the tank by installing the exit point on the side making it impossible to drain. Hope this helps Cheers

Where is the plumbers tape recommended to be used? Just on the sender thread when connecting the fittings?

[@topargeerv]

Yes just on the sender thread. One lap with the tape is perfect.

[@jeshe0]

@@topargeerv I gave it a go a few weeks ago and worked perfectly. No leaks

[@topargeerv]

@@jeshe0 great to hear thanks Jed :)

I would like to know if you have a blue-tooth version that can say report on 3 water tanks separately on the one gauge. This would be ideal as we manage/monitor our overall weight profile with the water tanks and manage which tank we draw water from. Thanks

[@topargeerv]

@ac-xz6bf yes we have a Bluetoother Water Tank Gauge. Our gauges can read 3 water tanks but it will be as a combined total and as long as they are on the same pump. If your water tanks all have seperate pumps then you would need one gauge per pump - www.topargee.com.au/product-page/h2f-bt12-bluetooth-water-tank-gauge or we have packages available www.topargee.com.au/water-gauge-packages
