What makes a Waterline Controls electronic water leveler system different?
I’ll try to explain this in a non-technical manner. Simply put: IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MECHANICAL/INDUSTRIAL DESIGN OF THE CONTROL BOX. All Waterline Controls electronic water level controllers are designed so that the internal parts, if they fail, can be easily, quickly and inexpensively replaced in the field by anyone capable of operating a screwdriver. You do not need to take the whole unit apart. You do not need to throw away most of the unit and replace it with something new and expensive. Our electronic water levelers are designed more like an airplane – all the important individual parts can be easily removed and inexpensively replaced as necessary – for virtually an unlimited lifetime of use.
For example, the relays in a Waterline Controls unit are in the high voltage compartment separated from the low voltage parts. The relays in all filling devices are the only parts that have a defined useful life period. I don’t know what the useful service life is of other brands, but the useful life for a Waterline Controls relay is somewhere between two million and four million operations. As I mentioned in another blog, we run extensive lab tests on our products before we ship them to you because we want to ensure the durability, reliability and trouble-free maintenance that our customers have come to expect from our electronic water levelers. We set up a test bed of 100 relays from the different companies who make relays and ran these tests to find the product that was going to last in this application. We chose the relay that preformed the best.
