Thanks for the replies, it is a Wema SHS which is standard equipment on the newer Mainships. It appears to be a tube with maybe a float inside? Have not taken it out of the tank yet, just looking at the web site. They have no information about cleaning or maintenance


Thanks Ray

This design does get crudded up, but they can be easily cleaned. Pull the unit by unscrewing the six screws on the top flange. Remove the stainless tube, then ensure the rod the float moves on is clean and the float can move easily. Reassemble and you should be good to go for awhile. Lots of fun, by the way....

We discovered our "40 gallon" tank (so marked, by the manufacturer) only effectively handles 24 gallons. Has to do with wall thickness (I think actual max capacity was more like 37 gallons) and then the inlet/vent fitting locations which are a few inches south of the top.
