Temperature Average for product is determined by a resistance temperature detector (RTD) and displayed on a LCD readout.
Groundwater Depth to groundwater in tank excavation backfill must be determined.
If groundwater is above bottom of tank, product level must be adjusted to provide net pressure of 2-4 psi at bottom of tank.
