IMI Automatic Water Ballast Meter
IMI Automatic Water Ballast Meter
General Description
IMI Automatic Water Ballast Meter - is designed to make water filling simple. No more guesswork about how much water is in your wings! No more wasted water spilling out because you forgot to turn the hose or pump off when the wings were full! Using the Watermeter is really simple. Just connect to mains or water pump, set the number of litres you want to fill and press start. You will get an accurately metered dose of water, and then the water meter closes the valve and stops the pump automatically when you reach the water level you need, leaving you to spend time on other glider preparation.
W&W typically stocks both IMI Automatic Water Ballast Meters.
