How They Work
Just a simple mechanical float/weight/pulley system – no gimmicks, no batteries. True reading too – unlike homemade gauges that read back to front, these gauges show the true water level.
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. The rising liquid level lifts the float up, the counterweight moves down, and the indicator keeps pace with the float.
The falling liquid level 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.
Highly Visible
The bright aluminium indicator with its red band can be seen from afar, more than 100 metres. According to some users of the Levetator in Australia’s remote outback, the indicator can be seen from a plane or helicopter while doing their regular observations of cattle, fences, windmills and water troughs. Even better is the nighttime visibility thanks to the highly reflective red band.
True Reading
Unlike homemade water level gauges that read back to front, the Levetator shows the actual water level. What you see is what you have.
Simplicity
No gimmicks, no batteries, just a simple float/weight/pulley system.
Easy to Install
All necessary items (template, instructions and fixings) are provided to make it easy for the handyman to mount the Levetator on the tank roof.
Reliability
Year in, and year out, the Levetator water level gauge provides reliable service thanks to quality materials and large, free-running pulleys.
