Or are they incapable of detecting a very slow leak?<br /><br />With the temperature compensation feature I would have to personally monitor the loss of pressure while driving and decide whether the rate of loss warranted a stop, whereas with the loss-per-unit-of-time alert, if it can be set to detect a very minor leak, I could just set it as sensitive as I pleased and then just let it alert me if the rate of loss exceeded my comfort level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-22064278686631881012014-08-19T09:43:10.128-07:002014-08-19T09:43:10.128-07:00How about actually giving us a brand name that you...How about actually giving us a brand name that you reviewed?????????????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-82834129345858369022014-05-31T15:23:16.000-07:002014-05-31T15:23:16.000-07:00Anon, Glad you have come to terms with non-exact n...Anon, Glad you have come to terms with non-exact numbers. People need to remember these are primarily Early Warning Devices.<br /><br />I have two different systems and two digital hand gauges that have been checked against ISO Lab master gauges. Between 12 TPM and 2 gauges I have a pressure range of +/- 1.5 psi even when the tires have been set to same number on one of the digital gauges.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-15006319467914071502014-05-25T14:55:05.035-07:002014-05-25T14:55:05.035-07:00When I first got our RV I knew I wanted a tire pre...When I first got our RV I knew I wanted a tire pressure/temp monitor and it has proved invaluable. At first I was bugged by it not being exact as my digital pressure guage. I would get all 6 tires right on and then go turn on the system and see that they all varied 1 or 2 psi....But when one of my valve stems started leaking it was great to notice that and be able to pull over to fix the problem. I have gotten used to the sensors to not all being the same. I now just look for extremes and that is really all we need. Think about the days without any sensors....so I had to get over the non-exactness and be happy to have the warning available. I am German and being exact is in our DNA...ugh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
