i have been installing these at my job on various tanks recently. these babies are the wave of the future!

just remember set it low at first, so low you dont think it will collect anything then wait 24 hours. if no improvment turn it up a bit (not too much ..it will still looklike it is too low)and again wait. do this over and over until it collects. this ensures proper setting and a setting that makes it the most effiecient. it is improper to immediatly set it so it is collecting foam/water in cup. it need to break in and most people tend to set them too high at first. be patient when waiting.
