<DIV> Mark, & list,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I think you will find it =
best if
you installed a <EM><FONT color=#ff0000>VISUAL INDICATOR =
;
GAUGE</FONT></EM> on the side of the water tank. Drill a=
couple of holes ( top and bottom ) on the end nearest the edge of the
piano, and glue (Epoxy or Silicon Sealer) a CLEAR Plastic Tubing =
on
the outside of the tank. Once it's installed, fill =
it
with predetermined quantities of water and mark the tubing on the
outside. At one glance, you can see HOW much is in the tank, =
and
then at one glance determine HOW much to fill back into the tank.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> You'll have to remove the =
tank
and empty it to do this project. But, it will be so much worth =
the
effort to take OUT ALL the guess work in knowing the present =
water
levels by just ONE glance. You could still use the LOW-=
WATER
light indicator to tell you WHEN to look at the SIGHT gauge. =
The
only extra effort in this form of checking is just bending down to look =
under
the piano at the tank / gauge. (which, you need to look at it once
in a while to check it's condition, anyway.) </DIV>
<DIV> There is no patent on this operation --- I think it's "Public
Domain." ( well, it is now... )</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try it. I know you will like it. I install this type of
indicator on EACH new Damp-Chaser before I put it in a customer's piano, or=
a
school piano. It is TOTALLY = Dummy
Proof. (batteries not included...)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best of Luck,</DIV>
<DIV> ( a former Radio Control Helicopter and Airplane Modeler -=
- it
helped in knowing little tricks that work in OTHER
applications.)</DIV>
