Storage Tank Level Gauge

Free Hanging Indicator - For Tanks up to 10' TallTrue Level ReadingUnlike homemade water level gauges that read the opposite of the actual water level, the Levetator shows the ACTUAL water level in the storage tank, so you know exactly how much water you have left. The reflective red indicator matches the level of the water inside the water storage tank. This is accomplished with a stainless steel counter weight that goes the opposite direction from the internal float. These mechanical level gauges are incredibly reliable and accurate and last for many years without issues. No maintenance needed.SimplicityNo batteries or electricity needed. The Levetator Level Gauge is just a simple float/weight/pulley system.Easy to InstallAll necessary items template, instructions and hardware are provided to make it easy to mount the Levetator on the tank roof.ReliabilityYear in, year out, the Levetator water level gauge provides reliable service thanks to quality materials and large, free-running pulleys.How Does it Work?The weighted float and indicator are connected to the counterweight by separate cords, each cord running over a pair of pulleys. When the float is half-immersed everything is balanced. Rising liquid level lifts the float up, the counterweight moves down, and the indicator keeps pace with the float. Falling liquid levels causes the weighted float to pull the counterweight up, and again, the indicator keeps pace with the float. At all times the indicator matches the liquid level exactly.Does the tank have to be empty to fit the gauge? No. All gauges are mounted on the roof. There is no need to enter the tank.Is the Levetator affected by wind?Yes, but being a relatively heavy aluminum die-casting, the indicator doesnt move all that much, and in most cases, there is no problem. If the site is exposed to high winds, use a Liquidator 2 Level Gauge instead.My tank has a steep roof. Is this a problem?No. All indicators can be mounted on roofs as steep as 45°.My tank is taller than 10'. Will the level gauge still work?It will, but it won't register the level once the water level in the tank drops below the top 10'. In other words, if your tank is 15' tall, the gauge will stop reading when the water level drops down to 5' or less since it's only designed to register 10'.
