John,
I've had a Xintex system installed on my boat for the last 4 seasons. It was
easy to setup and has worked fine ever since. It caught one actual leak and
always works correctly when I test it. Good product in my estimation.
I still check the system every couple of weeks with soapy water and pressure
gauge and I always shut off at the tank when not using. The electronics
augment my safety procedures, not replace them.
