I use an Aquetron LP-10 & an LP-6. The alarm can be set to be even less
sensitive than a Companion (which I don't like.because of its sensitive
alarm.) Aquetron is now making a new vent that is 50% smaller. Companion
is the same size as the LP-6/10. The new vent will weigh 20 lbs (9 kg),
instead of 40 lbs. (18 kg).
