Hello all

I put a reed switch near the vent hole of the ballast tank. And a LED to show me that the tank is full. Works fine, had no problems so far, chaep, does not eat power...
Also you can see the vent pipe. And still I can check with the finger if necessary...
All time good feeling to see the green light - ballast full.
