Corrosion protection in case of drying out in the mud
After discovering some initial severe corrosion, I electrically connected the inlet to the ship's aluminum anode (for brackish water). Now 9 years later no further corrosion is visible. Tested with a rubber mallet the part is still tight. Conclusion User error - the inlet should be connected to the Borderde. CH

I can only agree with the previous speaker: "... since this product is installed under the waterline, a supplied seal or an info sheet where it says what kind of seal is useful would be very helpful ..." For most "other" sensors the installed under the waterline, sealant is also offered or supplied. Would be desirable :-)
Since this product is installed under the waterline, a supplied seal or an information sheet where it says what type of seal is useful would be very helpful. Furthermore Suuuuper Service Good product Fast delivery Always happy

This water inlet for my mechanical Jabsco marine toilet fell victim to corrosion after just one year. A bar of the sieve has disappeared. The ship is in Southampton and falls dry in low-water brackish mud of the River Itchen, or sits in the mud. The water inlet has no contact with any electrical conductors or other metals, the hull is made of glass fiber / plastic. This inlet was a replacement for a DZR bronze thru-hull that had lasted 15 years. Probably unsuitable for ships in muddy tidal waters.
