Markus,
Sorry I got into this thread late.
If you are using acid in the bath, I'd say keep the electronics
completely away from the box. It can get messy.
I'm interested to see the unit in working mode.
What are the covers or "bags" made of ?
Can you post a link to Bungard electronics please ?
Where can I get complete details of this device ?
Thanks.
Hans Wedemeyer
