Description
Well Measurement System
This classic air tube measuring system allows the reliable and simple measurement of water levels in a well or unpressurized water body.
The measuring tube is non-corrosive plastic, therefore it will not dent or rust.
The display gauge is a high accuracy precision gauge.
Why an air tube is better than an electric device
Digital units require an expensive transducer be located at the bottom of the well, yet vented to atmosphere via the electrical cable. A single drop of moisture on the vent tube ruins the transducer.
Digital units require power.
Why an air tube is better than a portable sounder
Portable sounders can get hung up as they are lowered inside the well, which then requires pulling the pump to retrieve the sounder.
A quality sounder is an expensive device.
How it works
Remove the well pump and secure the high pressure nylon air tube to the down hole pipe with the open end just above the pump inlet. Fit the high resolution pressure gauge and schrader-style check valveĀ (tire air valve) to the upper end of the air tubing.
Apply air pressure to the schrader valve and watch the pressure rise on the pressure gauge. When the pressure no longer rises, the air tube is completely full and reads the water pressure above the well pump inlet. Multiply the water pressure by 2.31 to yield the feet of water above the pump.
