Alarm Lights Up When Propane Low

Alarm Lights Up When Propane Low ENERGY Miscellaneous 33-5-42 Introduced at a recent national propane dealer's convention after 3 years of development, this new monitor lights up when a propane tank is down to 25 percent of capacity. The monitor is easy to install, and the cone-shaped light is visible from all angles. Chris Clabaugh, inventor, says there have been other devices on the market to signal when a tank needs refilling but they were expensive or required increased monthly fees. His monitor simply bolts onto a tank's lifting lugs and wires to the tank's Remote Ready Dial. If a tank doesn't have a Remote Ready Dial, the dealer will install an adaptor. The alarm is powered by a sealed battery with an expected battery life of 5 years or more. Clabaugh says the battery is not replaceable due to UL safety codes. Called "Tank Q", the alarm is available only through propane dealers at this time. They sell for about $35 a unit to dealers.
