Revainrating 1 out of 5

Socket for water level sensor too small

If you decide to buy this cooler, please check if the coolant level sensor fits properly in the mounting hole before unpacking. not mine. About 80% of the way through the install (fortunately before I put any liquid in) I tried installing mine and found that the fountain was cast 100 inches too shallow into the plastic overflow tank so the gauge couldn't seat properly. Slightly protruding, this made it impossible for its internal reed switch to work. The hole was clean with no burrs or dirt on the bottom, so I called factory tech support and got it right (yay), but they had no offer other than "send it back to Revain" (boo). This perhaps explains another reviewer's somewhat cryptic comment that "the water level sensor isn't working". So he came back and I got a (much) more expensive Behr Hella Service 376722001 OEM heatsink. The sensor fits perfectly.jvf
