Hello,
I'd like to suggest an improvement in the instructions for you Water
Alarm.
You include Spanish and French in addition to English. However no metric
in the English directions. It's a fallacy that someone speaking English
does not use the metric system. Not only is the metric system widely used,
it is the official system of measurement for the U.S.
See: http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/laws/metric-conv.html#205a
/Sec. 205b. Declaration of policy
It is therefore the declared policy of the United States--
(1) to designate the metric system of measurement as the preferred system
of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce; /
I'd also suggest you change the "0,08 cm" to "1 mm". Easier to read, no
decimal places and it's a nominal value after all. Obviously the French
translator and the Spanish translator used a different calculator! The
cable is 1,83 m in French and 1,82 in English, another area where the
nominal distance would be fine, how about 1,8 m for all 3 languages?
Because of the simplicity of the system, even 1800 mm is easily understood
by users. I would have someone look up the word "Nominal".
