Good work! on pump accessory

Works well and just what we need. The only downside is that they are a one-time thing for our business, the treatment plants and the site.

Pros
  • You need a 512Hz receiver to use these transmitters. Doesn't work with AM or FM radio
Cons
  • Fairly good

Can find 12 feet underground.

These little guys are amazing and I can see them up to 12 feet underground. When I can't use the steward's scope because I'm binding a flare to my scope. I just have to tie it to a fishing line and send it to the aquarium. The fact that it's waterproof and buoyant makes my life so much easier.

Pros
  • Batteries not replaceable | Button for easy on and off | Battery Life: 4
Cons
  • Nothing

The only way. in pump accessories

Bought to replace Ridgid's flushing probe 19793. God knows why Ridgid discontinued these. They work pretty well once I figure out how to read the signal as I'm still using the Ridgid receiver because it calculates the depth of the septic tank for you. I wish the batteries were replaceable. I just throw them away as disposable and pass the cost on to the buyer. In any case, they work as intended.

Pros
  • Easy to remove floats
Cons
  • Safety
