Potter Electric Signal Co. has added the Water Column Switch (WCS) to its product line.

The electronic circuitry of the WCS is designed to indicate the presence of water accumulated to a specific elevation, that if left unattended could impair or prevent the operation of the valve.Potter Electric Signal Co.
