Using the Tennant T500 is like going from your VCR to a DVR
Do you remember what the experience was like if wanted to record something on TV in 1992?
First you had pull out the blank VHS tape, then you had to remember how to record something, and most annoyingly, unless you had the SUPER expensive VCR with a clock (that you probably had to reset), you had to actually be there to press record when the show and then turn it off when you were done!
Sure, it worked, but it was such a PITA that you probably only recorded something when you REALLY had to.
Kind of like watering the flooded batteries in your auto scrubber today.
Yeah, the process isn’t that hard, but between monitoring, checking, opening and filling your flooded batteries, we know easy it is to put the whole process off.
And like all those amazing games you didn’t record because the VCR was annoying, how many times have your batteries come up dry just before you finish cleaning because you waited to long to check on them (are you actually checking them monthly..)?
But now, flash forward to 2017 and the wonderful DVR.
Want to record a show? Just press a button. Want to record an entire series of shows, automatically…just press a button.
And you don’t even need to be there! How many big games do you think get missed now? None! Because the whole process is so easy.
And that’s what’s so great about the new Smart-Fill Automatic Battery Watering Technology available on the T500.
Just like your DVR make recording easy and your cable subscription better, Smart-Fill and tank auto-fill:
- Reduces the time you or someone on your team needs to spend trying to accurately fill the solution tank. With auto-fill and water level monitor, your tank will automatically be filled to capacity and shuts-off automatically. Available on T500 only.
- Prevents your operators from using scrubbing functions on dry batteries. Plus, they’ll get a notification when the distilled water tank is low.
- Is the first on-board battery watering system that automatically fills batteries correctly, at the best time in the charging cycle and with minimal human intervention, making battery maintenance easy and virtually worry-free.
- Make battery maintenance safer by removing the task of checking, opening, and filling flooded batteries.
And that’s just beginning of what makes the T500 such an upgrade over the T5.
