One of the products I want to talk to you about today is the Liquid Level Indicator.
Now, it sounds a mouthful but it’s not, it’s a simple product. Basically the liquid
level indicator will sit on the edge of your cup when you’re making a drink and give
you an audible and vibratory warning that the water you’re pouring is nearly at the
top of your cup.
So let me demonstrate how this works. First of all I’m going to release the battery
tab at the bottom of the liquid level indicator. Now the liquid level indicator has given a
2 beep warning to say “the battery tab is out and I’m working”. I’m now going
to take the liquid level and I’m going to put it on the side of my cup with the metal
points on the inside of the cup. I’m going to pour my water into the cup.
The first level it is going to detect is nearly to the top of the cup. What you can hear then
is the audible tone and the vibration as well so for people who not only have sight loss
but also hearing loss the product is fantastic because it gives you both warnings.
So I’ve poured my hot water into my cup, now I want to pour milk into my cup for a
cup of tea. So I’m now going to put the liquid level back into the cup and I’m going
to continue pouring. You can clearly hear the different tones. That’s telling me first
of all at the first level I’ve poured my water and have a little bit of room left in
the cup, and then the last warning is a completely different tone and it’s telling me that
I’ve reached the top of my cup and don’t pour any more. It really is that simple.
A lot of companies make battery compartments so difficult to get into, so what we’ve
done is we designed the battery compartment on this product to be easy. All you do is
you turn the liquid level over with the prongs on top, pull the draw on the bottom out towards
you and take out the battery sat inside. You put a new battery in, close the draw and again
it will tell me that the battery is in and working with a couple of beeps.
One of the other things we’ve done is to put magnets onto the front of the liquid level.
So many people have said to us in the past with different models that we’ve manufactured,
that they lose their liquid level in their draws and its so frustrating trying to find
it in the kitchen. So we’ve put two magnets onto the front and that is great because you
can put it onto a metal object, onto your fridge, and you know that you can find it
again.
