Have you ever been in the shower in your caravan when the water
has run out? Preparing a meal when the water has run dry? Washing
the dog? etc etc
It's a sad fact of life that we only notice we're out of
water when it stops flowing, and this is precisely when we want
it!
Perhaps you kick the water container from time to time, or pick it up to check it?
Aquatest to the rescue!
Aquatest is a small hand held water sensor. When it's touched
against the side of your water container a LED lights if water is
detected at the point where you touch.
Touch near the bottom of the container & the LED will light.
Slide it up the side of the container & the LED will go out
when the water level is found.
It is much more accurate than kicking your container or
picking it up!
Aquatest is powered from a single coin cell which should last an
entire season of use.
See how it works:
It didn't show up very well outdoors, so for the disbelievers:
Less than you might think... How does £2.99 sound ?
That's less than the price of a pint nowadays!
Aqualert is our premium
product which is soon to be released. It has a fixed sensor
attached to your container and alerts you indoors when your water
is running low. It's significantly more expensive than Aquatest,
but it does the checking for you. Take a look.

Aquatest isn't waterproof. The sensor has a protective lacquer
coating but you probably shouldn't submerge it. Aquatest uses
almost no power from the battery except when the LED is
lit - lots of things will light the LED; skin, metal, some
worktops etc. You should store Aquatest somewhere so that the LED
is not lit. Your cutlery drawer is not the place or you
will flatten the battery prematurely. We find that a small magnet
on the fridge door is a good place.
