[HARDWARE CHANGE NOTICE] Countertop Leak Detector & Pads - July 2024

Updated

Overview

From July 2024 on, a new leak detector assembly is used for Bevi Countertop Units, as well as new replacement leak detector pads (consumable) and tray.

The new replacement leak detector pads work with both the new and old leak detectors (backward compatible). However, the old pads only work with the old leak detector. 

Additionally, the new and old leak detector units and tray hardware are not interchangeable.

Quick Reference 

  • Have the older/original leak detector unit? It can take BOTH the old and new style of replacement pads.
  • Need to order replacement leak detector pads? Order the new pads (FRU P/N #720-0279), which are backward-compatible to work with both types of leak detectors.
    The older style (#720-0249) were discontinued from the ordering site on 7/16/24.
  • Already have some of the older/original pads on-hand? You can still use them, but only in the older/original "Gen 1" leak detector. Do not use older "Gen 1" pads in the new leak detector (Gen 2 "spring" style - see images below to confirm).
