How To Measure Water Depth In Tank?

[patty]

oh yeah the float switches are really only good to tell you you have run out of water or you are getting close where by you can hook them up to a sounder alarm so you can shut off the pump Unless they have released any new ones on the market I am not aware of these being able to measure!

Another simple option is to use a Pressure guage.
1 meter of H2O head will give you just under 10 kpa.

Not much chop on shallow domestic tanks though.
