Have a look at the site link I posted above and you will see there is TWO items in my CAV setup.
(a) Agglomerator - which is brings the fuel in at the top and then down over a serrated cone which forms it into a very thin layer seperating water and any other solid chit from the fuel.
It the drops off the outer edge of the 'cone with the heavier than fuel (water & solids) chit dropping to the bottom of the glass bowl and the fuel exiting the unit up the centre of same in to item (b)
(b) Fuel filter - fuel comes from agglomerator into top/center of fuel filter unit, down through the filter cartridge into the bottom of the glass bowl and up the centre, pipe and out to the pump.
In both units you get to see the crud in the bowls.
Now as to the water sensor - I have never seen a CAV unit with one.
There may be some other electronic after market gizmo available that would fit into the fuel line pre filter pack that would give you a heads up on the water in the fuel issue. You now have me thinking about this aspect.
