Is there a better tank monitor panel/display

Does anyone manufacture a holding tank monitor panel that displays the tank levels with a continuously on readout so that you can see the levels of the tanks with just a glance and not have to push any buttons?

It sure would be nice to have a display in an easy to view location that you could just glance at from a distance. LED or LCD would be fine. We have Horst Miracle probes and don't have to worry about accuracy like we used to so glancing at the display would be reasonably accurate. I could even mount it next to the remote display for our EMS when I figure out where to put that.
  • I looked at the Seelevel ones but it looks like you still need to push buttons? Plus it's intended to be used with their sensors that go on the outside of the tanks. I want to be able to use our existing in-tank sensors.
  • Our SeeLevel II system has worked flawlessly since I installed it in 2008. It does require pushing buttons though. On the other hand, they do sell extra displays that can be mounted wherever you'd like and can reach with the wiring.
  • After a while you begin to know when it's time to dump or add water. To me the monitors are useless with the exception of a good battery monitor. But even with the batteries we've learned how long they will support us depending on our use. So I guess, "I don't need no stinking monitors"....
  • I had the SeeLevel monitors installed - I can't say they were an improvement overall.

  • These monitors are frequently mentioned when people want to upgrade:

    I don't know if you have to push a button but they are reputed to be accurate if nothing else.
  • I find great humor in pressing the button to see what my guages have to say. They lie like politicians. A little more honest after a good tank flushing.
