Question
I am looking for some sort of a measuring tape, either stick on or magnetic, that is strong enough to withstand the water in the sink. We have problems with our operators not knowing how much water is required to mix with our cleaning agents in our sinks. Please let me know if you have anything like this or know of where I can find something. Thank you.

Answer

Dear Renee:

What types of cleaning agents are you using?  What scale are you looking for? What overall length?

How long would the leg appliance last, how often do you think they would have to be replaced?

Answer

Dear Sharon,

Thank you for the inquiry.  I called the manufacturer and they stated that it usually will last as long as the user takes care of it.  They couldn't give me a direct answer because it varies from patient to patient.  I hope that helps.
