Overview
With over 25 years of experience developing field-
rugged instrumentation, Arbiter’s team is proud to
introduce the Mako, a revolutionary tool for the backflow and cross connection control industry.
The Mako provides a tough, water resistant digital solution with benefits and features unseen in a
traditional mechanical gauge.
The MK5 is the
ONLY
USC FCCCHR Manual 10 Approved gauge.
The MAKO can perform all standard backflow testing procedures including those from USC FCCCHR, ABPA,
NEWWA, AWWA, UF TREEO and ASSE.
The MAKO also allows you
to do things that aren’t possible with mechanical gauges.
Since its release the Mako has included Bluetooth, meaning the Mako provides the missing link between
field testing and the app software already being used while collecting data in the field.
Its large values and backlit display allow you to read measurements with ease in a variety of lighting
conditions.
Its unique Capture Value function makes remembering values effortless. It allows you to more easily
capture fast-changing values on RPBAs, PVBAs and SVBAs by freeing you up to look at the assembly rather
than at the gauge and assembly.
Its ergonomic design allows you to easily grip the Mako and the soft rubber over-molding provides your
hand with a comfortable hold that is easier to grab and hold, even when wet.
The Mako’s design also
allows it to sit flat on the ground and ease of use when used in the hand or hung
from the strong hook recessed on its back.
The Mako includes custom hoses designed specifically for cross connection control testing. The hoses are
more flexible than others in the industry and are made from materials that are suitable for potable water,
following the NSF 61 and FDA guidelines. The hoses include a 40-micron filter, which is a higher grade
than
the industry standard filter
which keeps more debris out of your tool.
