One
of the more interesting trends around the world is rainwater harvesting. Even
though roughly three-quarters of the planet is made of water, it’s not all
suitable for use. So the constant shortage of water for various residential and
industrial needs has reinvigorated interest in the centuries-old practice of
collecting and storing rainwater. The trend is evident in places like India,
Australia, China, and even the United States.
These
systems not only reduce water bills, they are generally easy to maintain.
Provided, that is, there is a convenient way to measure how much rainwater has
been collected. BJE’s Black Knight is just the answer and now has universal
appeal with the introduction of the Metric Black Knight.

“Customers
have been asking for a metric gauge to monitor tanks that capture and retain
rainwater for future use. Metric Black Knight is the
perfect solution for measuring rainwater collected in outdoor storage tanks,” said Paul Nilsen,
BJE Product Design Engineer.
BJE engineers designed Metric Black Knight with a
large three-digit numerical display where the numbers decrease in centimeters
as tank fluid levels go down. Metric Black Knight features a UV resistant
durable housing that protects its direct-drive mechanical design from water and
dust. Metric Black Knight™ weighs just
1.1 kilograms (2.5 pounds) complete with 2” BSPT threads, and a Nickel-plated
brass chain that connects to a Polypropylene float for use with fluids that
have flash points similar to that of oil, diesel fuel or antifreeze. The gauge fits tanks up to 365 centimeters deep.
“Metric Black Knight is a value-priced mechanical
tank gauge to reliably measure liquid levels without manually measuring the
tank’s contents and without paying exorbitant prices for other metric level
gauges,” Nilsen said.
The product is one of many liquid level
monitoring systems available from BJE, a division of Husky Corporation. Learn
