Hey Jay,
I've replaced a few of the older automatic systems with what I usually
recommend in their place - an elevated 3 gallon plastic reservoir with a
filling hole cut in the top - leading to a petcock and tube to another
petcock controlled nozzle that can be brought to each battery filler cap
and easily controlled to deliver the exact amount needed. Add a
flashlight and voila.
However as you well know voila is not so easy as It does require the
folks to actually remember to water their batteries. An auto email
every 3 months with a followup to see if they did it is probably as
reliable as an automatic system that no-one checks on. I don't know -
have folks had good history with automatic systems?
It's an uphill battle either way - and as you probably know - it really
comes down to a client who "gets it" - that their $5K-25K investment
needs an hour of their time every 3 months or so.
I have had some luck with service contracts - for local clients -
unfortunately half my clients are spread half way round the world - so
that doesn't help either in those cases.
Probably not telling you anything you don't already know - but saw that
no-one else responded so wanted to see if we could get a rise out of the
list - perhaps someone out there knows of those parts?
Best,
Jeff

I’ve got a client who has a watering system made by
Battery hydration systems who appear to out of business.
Does anyone know of compatible replacement parts?
