Product Description
Automatically detect leaks in sap lines across hundreds to thousands of acres for rapid repair to maintain high vacuum. Save time by setting automatic text alerts for low vacuum levels using the Farmblox web dashboard or mobile app. The monitor also tracks ambient temperature (F or C). In maple, every 1 inch of mercury gain is equal to 5% more maple sap harvest. So it goes without saying that just a 2" Hg increase (10% greater yield) is big deal!
This highly durable, stainless steel vacuum sensor has a 1/4" NPT fitting for easily replacing manual vacuum gauges or screwing into saddle fittings. The vacuum sensor 3" cable allows you reduce 5/6" tubing.
*Includes dedicated support, access to full history of data (even after several years), remote access to farm dashboard from any smartphone or computer, and regular software updates.
Requires a Farmblox Base Station. Base station sold separately.
