Note: If using with tanks of a shallower depth than 400mm, the probe can be cut down to suit as follows: Step 3 – Allow to Settle – Before any marking can take place, allow the water level to completely settle so remove your thumb or bung from the end of the tube and let it level off until there is no movement at all Step 4 – Move to Level – Once it is settled you have achieved a level point between both ends of the tube, you can then move it up or down until the fluid meets the height required. The other end of the pipe will be at the same height. You can then place your mark Step 3 – Fill Tube – Using a second pair of hands, have them hold both ends of the tube upright. Take the funnel and push it into one end of the tube and then pour the water from the container to fill it. Don’t fill all the way to the top, leave roughly 2 – 3 inches at either end. Once filled, hold them up together and they should both be at the same level

To save the job of making your own, you can actually buy a pre-made water level from most DIY stores such as the one below. However it is likely that it will cost a bit more than making one yourself. Our collections by our couriers are happening as usual. As it stands, delivery times are not being affected too much. Please be aware though that Royal Mail and other couriers are sometimes prioritising essential items so please bear with us if your delivery takes slightly longer than expected. Step 2 – Prepare Water – Fill A suitable sized jug with water and add several drops of food colouring to to dye it. This will help to make it more visible in the tube Fresh water and waste tank level kit from CBE consisting of a tank test panel with coloured LED indicators, tank probes and wiring harness. This kit is ideal if you are retro-fitting a water tank or if you don’t have a level monitoring facility as part of your 12V control system. The LEDs light up when the test button is pressed and indicate FULL, 2/3, 1/3 and RESERVE. Hold the hose ends at the same height. Allow the water level to equilibrate freely. Mark both levels of the surface of water on the hose.Put on the end plugs. They will prevent an outflow of water to the place of measurements. After reaching the measurement levels, remove the plugs.

For the latest information and advice on COVID-19, please refer to the latest updates by the UK Government. Fill the hose with water almost completely (leave columns of air about 5-10 cm long at the hose ends), while trying to prevent air bubbles from entering the hose. Fresh water tank probe is supplied with a gasket and mounting nut for fitting to a 60mm diameter hole in your water tank and the wiring harness connecting the probe to the test panel is 4m long. Toolty Water Level Gauge Kit is used for leveling points that are far apart. Measuring tubes with a readable scale are made out of durable plastic (PVC). Tight plugs prevent the outflow of water at the place of measurements.
