Title: water level
Post by: ak_homesteader on December 20, 2004, 08:19:45 PM
A few years ago I froze my water level and broke it and have not been able to find another like it. It was two reservoirs one inside the other. The inside one held the water and the outside one was where the tubing was stored. The whole thing was 8 or 9 inches across and had about 50 feet of 1/4 inch tubing. It was compact and simple to use with one man. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and knows where I can find one I will be grateful.

All the suppliers I found were in the UK.

I know I have seen other types of water levels recently -probably at Lowes or Home Depot.

This is a nice electronic water level!

A loud (95 db) audible indicator signals level.

I gave away my water level when the building supply store had a lazer level on sale for $7.  I clamp it in place and make my marks off of it.  It is somewhat dim, being an inexpensive lazer but I bought two and use them in tandem to give me more distance when needed.  They are much easier to use accurately by one person than a water level.  Go look for one and invest $7 and give it a try.
