Water Level Meter WM-100

Features and Benefits - This water leveling tool features a flexible tape/cable for easy winding and unwinding, even in cold temperatures. It has a waterproof design and permanent depth markings with extra tubing protection. The strong 80lb base magnet allows it to be placed at any angle on the metal sections of a borehole, well, or standpipe. It includes 3 bright LED signals that can be viewed from any angle, even in bright sunlight, up to 40 ft. Powered by (2) 9-volt batteries, this tool provides maximum usage between battery changes. Its lightweight, pocket size, and portable design make it easy to carry. The ergonomically designed handle ensures ease of use, while the probe can quickly attach to the magnetic base when not in use or hang from the handle prior to use. The magnetic base allows it to be fastened on the metal panel of a work van or any metal surface for quick and easy access. An On/Off switch conserves battery life, and a power drill nut driver attachment can be used to speed up the winding and unwinding of tape/cable, reducing fatigue.

Operation - This water leveling tool can be used at any angle and is easily attached to any well, borehole, standpipe, etc., that has a metal surface. Each water leveling tool is comprised of a metal probe fitted to a flexible cable wire tape that winds onto a hand-held reel with an ergonomic handle. The cable connects to an electronic circuit, 3 LED signal indicators, and (2) 9-volt batteries with an On/Off switch. The sensor probe incorporates an insulated gap that acts as a switch, completing the circuit when contact is made with water. The cable consists of a non-stretch flexible wire/tape with copper conductors marked in 4” intervals or 10cm intervals, depending on the unit. For more accurate measurements, the ruler on the unit or the provided metal ruler can be used. Lower the probe down the borehole, standpipe, well, etc., being cautious to keep the cable wire away from any sharp edges. You can lower the probe by hand or use the drill attachment. When it contacts water, the 3 LEDs illuminate, allowing a reading to be taken from the measuring cable at the port level to record the depth. Ensure the unit is turned off afterward to conserve battery life. To measure the depth to the closest ½”, use the cap’s ½” notched lines as a guide by placing the wire along the rubber sides and counting the notches; for example, 2 notches equal 1” and 6 notches equal 3”. Additionally, the distance between LEDs along the rubber sides is 4” (8 notches). Use the ruler markings on the magnetic base or the provided ruler for more accuracy once the closest footage distance is noted. Winding of the water leveling tool cable can be done manually or with a drill.
