I was wondering if anyone had a source for 24 or 48 VDC "depth
gauges" that could be used in a cistern or shallow well. A SCUBA
depth gauge on the wrist is fairly accurate. It would seem like a
signal could be sent electronically though a wire and be read outside
the tank. I've never heard of o
There's an Arduino project that uses the same method but uses an aquarium
pump and an electronic pressure sensor. The advantage is you get constant
data over the network and you can use a relay to disable to the pump at
predetermined depths.

I agree with Windy and this article, the electric sounders can be
finicky. I've never tried the airline method, but some well folks from
Texas taught me to use an inverted plumbing fitting on a string. When
it hits the water you can feel it on the line, because the small pocket

For those Wrenches that work with deep-well water pumping
installations, the attached guide is useful to file away for later
use. Windy sent it to me, and it has three options for determining
the depth of water in a well.
