It's hard to get the PVC glue out of your veins. It hangs in there better then Mercury or Lead and doesn't have a half life like plutonium does.
It really makes it easy to fix leaks in pipes when all you have to do is spit on them.
ES is right about the aftermarket switch. That is some technology that I used years ago as an electrician at Price Pfister, the faucet company. I assisted in designing a test bet for the faucet so that they would detect down to 3 nano ounces of pressure differencial and therefore reject the tested part.
The device I use was callibrated to about 1/2 psi. When you relate that to tubing pressure it can make the difference on a nice, sound and comfortable ride in your tube and being able to squeeze about 1/2 of an inch of a dimple in your tube.
I designed it more for winter tubing when your tube deflates slightly from the cold water. It allow auto inflation back to the 5 psi that is recommended by the manufacturer.
I am currently working on one for the overinflation of hot weather that will allow minor deflation of the air chambers.
Thus far the progress has gone as far as just leaving the caps off of the valves and allows for natural depressurization of the valve itself.
