Water Level Meters

Water Level Meter - Model 1010
Flat Tape Water Level Meter

This electric contact gage is used for measuring the depth of water in wells, boreholes, standpipes and bridge tapedows during discharge measurements. The Flat Tape Water Level Meter is reliable, accurate and easy to operate and read to 1/100 ft. or mm.

The Model 1010 Water Level Meter uses a well-designed probe, attached to a permanently marked polyethylene tape, fitted on a well-balanced reel. The conductors embedded within the tape each have seven strands of stainless steel.

The probe incorporates an insulating gap between electrodes. When contact is made with water, the circuit is completed, sending a signal back to the reel. This activates a loud buzzer, and a light.

Features:

       Accurate

  • markings each 1/100 ft., 1/2", cm or mm
  • sensitivity adjustable to conductivity
  • shielded probes to avoid false readings
  • lengths up to 3000 ft. (900 m)

       Reliable

  • permanent, hot stamped markings
  • stranded stainless steel conductors
  • rugged, free standing reel
  • standard 9V battery

The design of the tape prevents it from adhering to wet surfaces in boreholes and wells. Markings are permanently embossed onto one side of the tape and are available in your choice of scales. The tape can also be printed on both sides. English graduations are in feet, 10ths and 100ths. Metric graduations in meters, decimeters, centimeters and millimeters.

All sizes of reel are free-standing, robust and run smoothly. Each is equipped with a convenient carrying handle. On the faceplate of each reel there is an on/off/sensitivity switch, light, battery test button, and a winding handle. The battery is housed in the hub of the reel, and on the back is a probe holder and the brake. A carrying bag is available and sold separately.

All probes are designed to reduce or eliminate problems with cascading water. The following options are available:

  • P2 Stainless Steel: with a neoprene strain relief. 0.5" dia. by 7.5" long (12.7 mm x 190 mm)
  • P3 Narrow Diameter: stainless steel probe 0.4" dia. by 4.75" long (10.2 mm x 120mm)
  • P4 Environmental: stainless steel. Design permits submergence below water. Gives improved operation in both cascading water and low conductivity water. The probe pulls apart for easy cleaning and decontamination and to accept T4 Sleeve. 0.625" dia by 8.625" (15.9mm x 220mm)
  • T4 Temperature Sleeve: for P4 probe allows profiling of temperature in wells. Sleeve enclosing a thermistor slips over the P4 probe body. 0.625" dia. by 8.75" (15.9mm x 222 mm). Accuracy: ±1° C. Range: -5° C to +50° C.

Coaxial Cable Water Level Meter - Model 1020

This Coaxial Cable Model is accurate, reliable and easy to use. The coaxial style is preferred if using for bridge tape downs for stage reference checks during discharge measurements because coaxial is more wind resistant and less likely to "bow" in the wind giving more accurate measurements. It has selectable audible buzzer or visual ultra-bright LED indication. Thin 3/8 in. probe sensor allows easy access even through a 1/2" bolt hole and has a variable sensitivity switch for signal accuracy in different water and well conditions. Strong, lightweight coaxial cable 1/10" dia. and is permanently marked in 100ths of a foot or millimeters. Probe is highly sensitive, yet unaffected by cascading water. Completely self-contained, it requires no external power or ground and uses one 9V battery.

Kolor Kut Gaging Paste

This is an economical method of determining water levels and this unique paste can be used with a measuring tape, rod or calibrated line to determine water level. Apply the paste in the area that the level is expected to appear. When the paste comes in contact with water it will immediately change from golden brown to bright red, marking the level. After use, the paste can easily be wiped off with no residue.
