Real-time monitoring for vacuum-mounted racks, alerting you to pressure loss before it becomes a costly failure.
“I created this device last year to ease my anxiety while using my SeaSucker rack. I hope it gives you the same peace of mind as it does for me.”
—Timothy E. Johansson, Creator of Kraken Rack Monitor
